Mr. Pike Drops New Single “This Ring”

The journey of Jamaican-born, America-based recording artist Mr. Pike has not been an easy one. The singer, songwriter, producer, and businessman sadly lost his first wife, Tasha Pike, in 2017. Her passing had a devastating impact on Mr. Pike, because in addition to being the love of his life, Tasha also played an instrumental role in the success of his business.

Not being one to stay down, and also for the sake of the kids, Mr. Pike has since picked himself up, pushed through the pain, and now considers himself a happy man, despite all that he has been through. A big part of that happiness is his new love interest, his current wife, Chavannie Pike, whom he wedded in 2023. Mr. Pike is so overjoyed that he has written a song about his life, with an emphasis on his present-day relationship.

The single, which went live on streaming platforms earlier today, August 30, 2024, is titled “This Ring.” Categorized as reggae, “This Ring” is fused with afrobeat and even has elements of amapiano. The lyrics sound more like vows used at his actual wedding as opposed to a song inspired by his marriage.  “This Ring” can be streamed and downloaded from iTunes, Tidal, Apple Music, Deezer, and all other digital music stores.
