BLESSED
**2x Juno Award Winner**
Blessed was born in the small parish of St. Thomas, Jamaica, island of reggae, sun and fun. In 2002, he received critical acclaim for his break-out international urban hit LOVE (African Woman), which earned him a JUNO for Best Reggae Recording. Blessed was nominated for a JUNO in 2003 for SMILE and 2004 for the single Empty Barrels Featuring Kardinal Offshall. He won the JUNO and UMAC award for Best Reggae Recording in 2005 with Reggae Time. He received another Juno nomination in 2007 for Final Road under the Explorer Universal label. He’s been nominated 8 times in the Juno’s best reggae recording category. His latest single cry every day spent 24 weeks on the Canadian reggae charts and six weeks at number one and was nominated for a Juno award in 2017.

AMMOYE
**4x Juno Award Nominee**
Ammoye sings of love, life and justice, a lightworker and a soul rebel. Rooted in the Reggae music of her native Jamaica, Ammoye effortlessly glides from Reggae and Dancehall to Gospel, Soul and R&B with breathtaking ease and presence.
This now multi-award winning artist started out her career while living with her grandparents in Clarendon, Jamaica, finding solace from life’s trials and tribulations by singing in her local church choir. After choir practice, she would regale the neighborhood with her latest songs and poems from the top of the mango tree in her backyard.
In her late teens, reuniting with her mother brought her to Toronto, Canada. She quickly established herself in the community by forming the Sisters in Christ church group and the Voices of the Underground Artist movement, leading to further involvement and collaborations in Toronto’s vibrant music scene.
2017’s The Light, featuring collaborations with top Jamaican reggae talent including legends Sly Dunbar & Lenky Marsden, acclaimed song-writer Mikey Bennett and preeminent producer Donovan Germain of Penthouse Records and Natural High Music.
