Since starting his career almost 30 years ago, KashieF Lindo has had a consistent presence with him whenever he steps into a recording booth; that presence is in the form of his father, ace session guitarist  and producer Willie Lindo.

Like most of his songs, KashieF‘s latest effort, Maybe, is produced by Willie for the family’s Heavybeat Records. The singer said the song came from a typical brainstorming session. “It really comes down to my father; he comes up with these ideas, and then I throw my two cents in,”KashieF explained.

Because Willie Lindo is credited for producing hit songs performed by Beres Hammond (One Step Ahead, What One Dance Can Do), Dennis Brown (Inseparable, Since I’ve Been Loving You) and Boris Gardiner (I Wanna Wake up With You), music insiders are usually on the look out for anything coming from his label.

That said, KashieF Lindo, who first made the charts in the late 1990s with singles like No Can Do and The First Cut, is, according to the experts, on track to do so again with Maybe.

When we think of reggae music and the creators who have contributed to it since its inception, as well as those who continue to do so now, the more renowned artists are usually top of mind. However, Jamaica’s reggae industry is filled with countless emerging talents who are very active on the local and, in some cases, international scenes.

Imar Shephard, a native of Saint Thomas, Jamaica, is definitely among the many up-and-coming singers who are successfully carving out their space in the music business. After relocating to Kingston many years ago and working ceaselessly on his craft, so much so that he now has an authentic following (fanbase), Shephard is gearing up to release his second studio album on May 31st.

The soulful reggae record, titled Morning Glory, has nine tracks and collaborations with Bushman, Empress Akua, Glen King, and Rachaad Amarjii. It will be launched on Wednesday, May 29th, at Pon Top (29 Westminister Road) in Kingston 20. Shephard will be joined by Bushman, Fred Locks, Miriam Simone, and others. He is making the event free to the public, asking only that attendees buy a drink or two.
