Another high point in 2017 was having a well-known Nigerian gospel singer, Mbomboyo, remake “Jehovah,” which was originally written, performed and released by Lt. Stitchie.

On December 2nd, Guyana’s reggae gospel artist Samuel Medas had an album launch for his latest musical collection, Royalty. He invited several artists – all of the same genres – to share the stage with him. Among them was Jamaica’s legendary recording artist, Lt. Stitchie.
The Governor, as he is affectionately called, left Guyana wanting more. He captivated the audience with his unique delivery, lyrical depth and passionate performance. Patrons hung on his every word as he performed songs like “man a pastor,” “thank you” and so much more. The tone was set from as early as band rehearsal, where Lt. Stitchie ran through his set as if it was the actual show.
The Guyanese massive could not get enough! As such, Lt. Stitchie will be returning to Guyana next year for a follow up performance. The date and location will be shared shortly.
