Ras Chibuzo ‘Holding Firm’

-

Fast-rising reggae artiste Ras Chibuzo believes his new single, Holding Firm, will do well locally and internatio­nally.

The Troyton Music production was officially released last Friday.

“The song has been getting some really good reviews and mi thankful and happy for that. The song has been getting a lot of buzz from the local radio stations,” he said. “It is a song that everybody loves because it is so relatable; it is a day-to-day experience in life.”

Ras Chibuzo, whose given name is Sanjay Bissick, seeks to uplift and entertain with his music positively.

Hailing from Linstead, St Catherine, Ras Chibuzo, from a very young age, developed his passion for reggae music.

Inspired by his uncle, who is a reggae producer, Ras Chibuzo’s love for music began growing over the years, composing songs that reflect day-to-day situations, historical happenings, and predominan­tly proclaimin­g the views of Rastafari.

He was also influenced by reggae artistes like Lutan Fyah, Sizzla Kalonji and Anthony B.

Mentored by Lutan Fyah as his major influence, Ras Chibuzo’s profession­alism began to grow as an uprising reggae act, co-writing songs and doing backup vocals for Lutan.

Much advice was also given by Rashaun ‘Kush’ McAnuff, who is a reggae drummer from the Uprising roots band, and Troy Hinds, reggae Billboard producer from Troyton Music.
