Following the success of their inaugural launch last year, the Reggae North Music Awards—Canada’s award show that recognizes and honors the creators and performers of reggae music and its sub-genres, including ska, dancehall, and lovers rock—will return in 2025. The second edition will take place on Sunday, September 28th.
Established reggae recording artist Steve Knight, who made a triumphant return to the industry several months ago after experiencing multiple setbacks, has been nominated in two categories. He is a contender for both Top Male Vocalist of the Year and Top Reggae Single of the Year (Male).
The project responsible for Knight‘s re-emergence is his latest album, “Steve Knight Returns.” This marks Steve Knight‘s first full-length studio album in over twenty years. It was released on February 1, 2025, through his own Haul-N-Pull Up record label. Notably, the song nominated for Male Reggae Single of the Year is one of the standout tracks on the album, titled “Marry You.”
Many people may not be aware that, although he maintains a presence in Jamaica, Steve Knight now resides in Canada.
