Little Hero Keeps On Shining (@patmore_paul)

Reggae-dancehall artist Little Hero has just released the official video for his catchy single Keep On Shining. The song is featured on the Rooted & Grounded Riddim, published last year by Paul Patmore Production.

When the compilation was first shared, many persons gave Little Hero‘s song great reviews; using words like fabulous, delightful and very nice to describe it. When asked what was the inspiration behind his powerful lyrics the veteran singer simply said: “the Most High. And I write songs based on what I see going on in the world.”

The calls for a video began almost immediately after the Rooted & Grounded Riddim came out. That said, persons who have seen the clip are now saying that it was definitely worth the wait. 

Paul Patmore, along with Little Hero and his team, contracted Rayebann Entertainment to direct, shoot and edit the video. Scenes were shot at approximately five different locations in the Parish of Clarendon (Jamaica) at the beginning of January. The visuals, which were just uploaded to Hero‘s new YouTube channel, are absolutely beautiful.
