It seems like a day-dream, looking at the way many people spend their scarce resources investing in Reggae and Dancehall, when we all know that other genres of music are making waves in the country and the world as a whole.
Everyone wants to do something profitable which will put food on the table by the end of the day. That does not seem to be the case for my fellow brothers and sisters, especially those underground talents, who are chasing the Reggae and Dancehall fraternity trying their best to showcase what they have to offer the music world.
One is left wondering, what motivate Radio and TV personalities to involve themselves totally in promoting Dancehall and Reggae music to the world when only few people seemingly recognize the art. The majority only ignore them as if something like that does not exist.
Another thing is why an investor and an artist manager would invest so much in an industry which is not well known to the world. It’s a world full of opportunities. There are many people who are rich that invest their resources hugely into the Dancehall and Reggae industry so that they will be known to the world and I keep asking why not Hip-life, Hip-hop, Gospel or any other genre??? Only God will know the reason behind.
There are bloggers who will sit down, write about artists who are doing these two genres so that much will be read about them. They also write all the necessary things there are to know about Dancehall and Reggae music whiles I know writing is not anything easy to go about but they still make such write-ups their hobby.
One young, talented, energetic and versatile guy I know is Arnold Wailer, who is a well-trained journalist, designs a TV show named “SkankingVibez”, with a slogan “You see the glory but you don’t know the story”. The programme is designed to give Reggae and Dancehall Artists and their music a massive exposure the world over. But what baffles me is why will a young talented person venture into a musical genre of that calibre, knowing too well that he or she does not have what it takes to shine no matter how vibrant it is globally.
Arnold Wailed have questions, to which answers will give everyone the reason behind some of these decisions.
