Mr. Cool, the roots-reggae artist from St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, is enjoying a remarkable resurgence in his musical journey. Having first sung in church at the age of six and later begun his career as a DJ before recording his debut track in 1984, he has built a reputation for crafting uplifting and spiritually rooted music. His earlier albums, It’s Raining and Serious Times, showcase his commitment to conscious lyrical themes and his deep respect for reggae’s foundational figures like Bob Marley and Bob Andy.
Over the years, Mr. Cool has earned admiration not only for his strong vocal style, but also for his principled approach to songwriting. He has maintained a steadfast refusal to glorify violence, substance abuse, or disrespect toward women, which has resonated with listeners who appreciate substance and integrity in reggae. His new single, “Come Know Your King,” released on August 21, 2025, is a soulful tribute that reflects his spiritual convictions and reaffirms his place as a sincere voice in modern roots reggae.
As Mr. Cool returns to the spotlight, he is now officially accepting bookings for 2026, opening the door for promoters, event organizers, and reggae lovers to bring his positive, roots-driven sound to new stages. This is a timely opportunity to feature a veteran artist whose music carries not only a rich legacy but also a powerful message of hope and consciousness. With his trajectory clearly back in motion, Mr. Cool’s upcoming performances promise to be both musically gratifying and spiritually uplifting.
