In the mid 1990s Luciano did singles for Musclehead and Louie Culture before returning to work with Philip “Fatis” Burrell for a series of successful singles and the album “One Way Ticket,” which elevated him to the forefront of the Rasta renaissance.

Cannabiziac, a global member-based company helping new and existing businesses and professionals tap into the growing cannabis industry, recently concluded their international ‘Get in the Biz’ Roadshow in Kingston, Jamaica. Held at The University of the West Indies on October 24, 2024, the event attracted entrepreneurs and individuals eager to explore opportunities in the cannabis industry.

One of the event’s highlights was the Cannabiz Builder Incubator Program preview, offering attendees a chance to pitch their cannabis business ideas to a panel of judges. Reggae artist Dwight ‘Bushman’ Duncan, who is a long-time cannabis user, was one of the winners, and as a result, he was awarded a 16-week Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship Course, which begins on February 17, 2025.

Bushman‘s schedule has been adjusted to ensure that he will be able to attend the course while still honoring his commitments as a public figure and performer. As a matter of fact, he is currently engaged in a digital media tour to promote his single “Whyne Dung.” The tour will conclude in February.
