Jerry Wonda
German Dancehall-Djs Jugglerz and HipHop-Producer Jopez have signed with Jerry Wonda, Producer of the Album “The Score” by The Fugees. The team is currently in New York working on various projects at the exclusive Platinum Studios in Manhattan.
It’s a major step for German producers to be officially part of one of the world’s most influential Hip-Hop and Pop Music entities. The three-time Grammy Winner, Jerry “Wonda” Duplessis is the man behind some of Pop-Music biggest hits such as Whitney Houston’s “My Love Is Your Love,” Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie” or Carlos Santana’s “Maria Maria.” Jugglerz has entered the US Billboard Charts for Reggae Albums with their Label-Album “Jugglerz City” in April 2016.
Having met with Jugglerz for the first time in May, it was an instant connection between the focused and work-minded characters. Five months and three visits to New York later, Jugglerz and Jopez are now signed to Wonda Music, which sets the foundation for many fascinating projects.
Producing new beats and riddims for artists as well as re-working on the Studio’s large catalogue is daily business at Platinum Studios. Some of the projects include some of Pop-Music’s biggest names.

About 21st Hapilos Digital Distribution:
21st Hapilos Digital Distribution was established to market, effectively distribute and support Reggae and Dancehall music. With the inclusion of Gospel and other genres of Caribbean music and later Hip Hop, 21st Hapilos became a leading force in local music distribution and managed to stay ahead of the competition by catering to its clients on a personal level and by giving back to the music industry. “We recognize Jamaica as the home of reggae and dancehall, however, the real players who helped build this industry have not been given much credit in Jamaica over the years. It was out of this lack of recognition that the 21st Hapilos Digital Awards was born. The Digital Awards is strictly about giving back, recognizing, thanking and awarding artists and producers for their successes in the music industry” said Johnny Wonder, Executive VP of 21st Hapilos Digital Distribution. The company’s goal is to open markets and take Reggae to the highest level while administering the service needed by its clients to facilitate that journey.
Hapilos Entertainment Group would like to thank the sponsor of the awards, Eskay Catering for their support, the media houses, host Lady D, the awards PR QMIA, ZJ Liquid, Foota Hype, all the clients and patrons who came out to support the presentation and the Hapilos Entertainment staff.
