Dancehall-gospel artist Jimmy Fagan – born Tweedsmuir Fagan – hails from Portmore, a city located on the south coast in the Parish of St. Catherine, Jamaica. He’s been in love with music since as far back as he can remember, and had always desired to be a recording artist.
That said, he made his professional debut in 2005 with the single Read Your Bible, a song done with singer Gerry Chosen. The track did exceptionally well, subsequently resulting in Fagan and his team recording and releasing numerous records.
In May 2021 he shared his first full-length album titled Tell the Story, Vol. 1. The thirteen-track project, which received rave reviews, raised his profile significantly within the Jamaican gospel arena. The release of Tell the Story, Vol. 1 was followed by several visuals aimed at supporting the LP.
The momentum that began in 2021 continued in 2022. Jimmy Fagan, who is signed to the Basco House Production label, was featured on their dancehall-gospel compilation, Touched By An Angel Riddim, published in January. Fagan‘s song is called Mi God Nuh Dead. A month later he was featured on the OverFlow Riddim, produced by Zion Track Records Production; with the song That’s Faith.
Jimmy Fagan is now engaged in an intensive promo campaign as he works on his goal, which is to continue to make good music that will enable others to see the impact and importance of God’s love for us through the gospel.
