Usain Bolt

Arguably the most naturally gifted athlete the world has ever seen, Usain St Leo Bolt, created history at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio when he achieved the ‘Triple Triple’, three gold medals at three consecutive Olympic Games. Usain’s journey to worldwide stardom started at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing where he won the 100m, 200m and 4x100m, all in world record times. He followed this up with three gold medals in the same events at the 2012 Olympic Games in London to write his name in the history books as the world’s fastest man. Then one day before his 30th birthday he completed the same triple at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio to cement his legacy as a legend in world sport.

In addition to his nine Olympic Games gold medals Usain won eleven World T&F Championships titles. He completed the 100m, 200m and 4x100m sweeps at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin, 2013 World Championships in Moscow and 2015 World Championships in Beijing. He won the 200m and 4x100m at the World Championships in Daegu in 2011.

Usain currently holds the world records in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m with times of 9.58 secs, 19.19 secs and 36.84 secs. His first world record was in the 100m in 2008 when he posted a time of 9.72 secs in New York. He lowered it to 9.69 secs at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and then to 9.58 secs at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin. He holds the three fastest times ever run 9.28, 9.64 and 9.69. Also in 2008 in Beijing he set a new 200m world record taking 0.02 off Michael Johnson’s previous mark with a time of 19.30 secs. He lowered this time further to 19.19 secs in Berlin in 2009, a time which may stand for years to come. On the world all-time list Usain holds five of the top ten times ever in the 200m. As part of the Jamaican 4x100m team Usain broke three world records – 37.10 secs in Beijing in 2008, 37.04 secs in Daegu in 2011 and 36.84 in London in 2012. Jamaican teams with Usain have the seven fastest 4x100m times in history.

Usain has been awarded the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year on four occasions (2009, 2010, 2013 & 2017); the IAAF Male Athlete of the Year six times (2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2016) as well as many awards in many countries in all corners of the world. He has his own clothing line in conjunction with Puma; his own watch made by Hublot; his own restaurant ‘Tracks & Records’ in Kingston, Jamaica; his own shaving company Champion Shave, his own insoles company Enertor; the ‘Usain Bolt Foundation’ and endorses some of the top brands in the world.

The writer/ performer states that music comforts and excites him and is a perfect balance, considering life’s uncertainties.

He believes that with determination, optimism and strong work ethic, success is inevitable.

CeeKaiH has derived the moniker “Alienbwoy” for his eccentric, captivating, energetic on stage performances and has had the pleasure of performing on shows with many of Reggae’s superstars including Chris Martin, Lust, and Tanya Stephens, but his proudest moment came at the “Tribute to Stanley” concert when he opened for a host of legends, including the original King of Dancehall, Yellow Man.

CeeKaiH had his first release in 2010, his self-produced single “Always on My Mind,” in collaboration with Malasha. He signed a management contract with Hotprime Entertainment in November 2011 and released “Come Over To Me” on New Sound Music’s Street cleaner riddim, “Hussle Hard” on Paranormal Music’s Hipstar riddim, “Addicted” on African producer Kish Waihu’s Way to your heart riddim, and “Money Dance” produced by Jettstart Records.
