Kevin Heath is a distinguished figure in the realm of gospel-reggae music and motivational speaking, hailing from Jamaica. He is widely acclaimed as one of the most dynamic and captivating gospel-reggae performers in the country.
The narrative of Kevin Heath‘s conversion to Christianity is well-documented. He frequently shares the remarkable account of being revived after a cessation of life for three nights and two days.
Several years ago, the St. Elizabeth native recounted to Family and Religion an encounter that profoundly altered the course of his life. Heath described an incident at a post office in Montego Bay where he was approached by a woman who prophesied that the Lord would guide him through an accident, which he should use as a testimony. Days later, Heath experienced a near-fatal incident that led him to embrace Christianity and share his testimony as foretold.
Since that pivotal moment, Heath has released numerous musical works, with his 2019 track “I’m Above” and the more recent “Golden Light” being particularly well-received by audiences.
In addition to his musical pursuits, Kevin Heath is also a consecrated evangelist and accomplished motivational speaker. He is a devoted father, and on March 27th of this year, he and his wife celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary.
Anyone wanting to work with Kevin Heath should contact his management team via email: Cravemacltd@gmail.com, or phone: +1876-567-7278.

Brownz Records is proud to present “Divine Riddim,” their latest compilation that showcases a remarkable blend of local and international reggae artists. This seven-track EP features music from notable performers including Lutan Fyah, Turbulence, Chezidek, DJ Yawdaz, Legal Votg, and Norris Man.
The compilation is enriched by an instrumental track that complements the six vocal performances. Each artist brings their unique style to the project, predominantly delivering lovers-rock tunes that resonate with themes of love and connection. Notably, Chezidek diverges with his track “Tit Fe Tat,” voicing concerns regarding the pervasive violence in society.
Lutan Fyah expresses a timeless sentiment in his song “You and I,” while Turbulence appreciates his partner’s affection in “Way You Love Me.” Similarly, Norris Man articulates feelings of comfort and intimacy with his lady in “Moonlight.” International artist Legal Votg affirms his commitment with “Here to Stay,” while DJ Yawdaz praises his partner’s qualities in the track titled “Perfect.”
“Divine Riddim” is now available on all major streaming platforms following its official release on March 10, 2025.
Lutan Fyah‘s new album “Strength & Resilience,” released at the end of February (2025) via Grade Records, is being described as euphoniously pleasing and inspirationally satisfying. Fans and supporters of the veteran reggae singer were not surprised by the positively charged thirteen-track record, which only has three collaborations: “Just The Time” (track #4), done with Akae Beka; “Freedom Sound” (track #9), done with Chronixx; and “Days after Summer” (track #12), done with Queen Omega.
Anyone paying close attention will agree that Lutan Fyah is an outstanding songwriter. Furthermore, he has a unique style and a captivating energy that set him apart from his colleagues. All that can be heard and felt is on “Strength & Resilience.” After carefully listening to this album, it is difficult to pick one, or two, or even a few songs that stand out, and that is because the entire project is excellent. Each song carries its own message and is well delivered and produced.
“Strength & Resilience” is available on iTunes, Amazon Music, Tidal, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Boomplay, and all other streaming platforms.
