Busy Signal - Evolving Reggae and Dancehall

E-mail Print PDF

The sound of young Jamaica has been a constantly evolving, musical feast ever since local recordings began. Styles and faces come and go but every so often a singer or deejay will free themselves from the pack and define an era. Such artists are lightning rods. Their music tells a people (and now a worldwide community of dancehall followers) who they are, where they’ve been and where they’re headed.

Busy Signal is still in his early twenties. He’s only been a professional artist for little over four years, and yet his songs and the way he expresses them are now the pulse by which modern-day dancehall is measured. Witness for example, the power of “Jail”, which he wrote about his own brief stay in a US jail – an episode he’s now transformed into a master class for others.
