Lanz ‘nah leggo’ Canadian shows

-

Dancehall artiste Lanz will be leaving the island for a few shows in Canada, and he is really looking forward to it.

The first show, dubbed ‘Magnificie­nt Black: The Savage Girls Edition’, will be held at the Empire Banquet Hall tonight, and then there will be ‘Lanz: March Madness’ at the MoBay Jerk Spot in Brampton, Ontario, on March 9.

“I am really looking forward to performing for my fans in Canada. There is a lot of buzz around the shows based on the feedback on my social media pages, so the shows are really going to be lit,” Lanz said.

Lanz had to postpone a pair of shows a few weeks ago because of ‘logistical issues’.

“The process was a bit slow so things got held up, but now, everything is set,” he said.

Lanz had his big breakthrou­gh last year with She Nah Leggo, which was produced by the multitalen­ted artiste and Andrew Reid. The song dominated the local party scene and FM radio, and a video for the song has hit the 1.3-million mark on YouTube. “The song is still doing well overseas. We are getting feedback from selectors all over the world — Canada, the US, Africa, and Europe. The song just connect with people on a different level,” Lanz said. The entertaine­r recently inked a recording and management contract with Lifestyle Entertainm­ent, and he is currently promoting the single Boom, a song which was released a month ago on the Unisyz Muzik/Ubique Muzyq label and has already racked up thousands of views on YouTube. “We are going hard with Boom, because the streets are responding to it already,” Lanz, whose given name is Orlando Francis, said.
