Pandemic Records & Entertainment LLC is by far one of the fastest rising independent music labels in the reggae-dancehall space. As the name implies, the imprint was established during the covid-19 pandemic, and has in a short period of time rose to international prominence.
So far, the brothers Sheldon and Leroy Edwards (label owners) have worked with some of the biggest names in the industry: Capleton, Sizzla Kalonji, Fantan Mojah, Ikaya, Little Hero, Chronic Law, and many more notable acts. After recording only secular projects since their inception, they surprised everyone by releasing a gospel single late last year.
The song Journey, penned and performed by Christian vocalist Jeniel Henningham, has put the worldly organization on a new path. “Jeniel was introduced to Pandemic by a member of the team, and she has a great spirit not just a great voice. Regardless of the genre, once it is good music that is what Pandemic Records is all about. We have not sign Jeniel but it is a decision the team is seriously considering.”
The above statement is Pandemic Records‘ response to questions about how and why they have chosen to venture into the gospel arena. Journey can be downloaded from iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, and all other streaming platforms, and the official video can be viewed on Jeniel Henningham‘s YouTube channel.
