The COVID-19 pandemic has fully shuttered operations for live music events, leaving venues empty, and furloughed millions of staff worldwide.

I’m not letting anything stop me from moving forward with my career,” said Mikki Ras.
The hard- working entertainer is currently working on his debut album titled Hand It Over. The 10-track album will feature work from several producers, including himself.
“This album is going to be something special for the fans, they’re going to love it. All the tracks have been recorded already, and we’re currently in the process of selecting the best 10 songs for the album. The release date has not been set yet, but I plan to drop it very soon,” said the artiste.
Mikki Ras is also promoting a slew of new singles, like Out Your Mind, Young and Great, and Over Time.

We have to just work hard to get this back to where it was preCOVID,” he said.
The deejay was forced to cancel several shows in countries like Belize and Costa Rica. He has no idea when these overseas gigs will return.
“We have to just go on with our lives as best as possible. COVID-19 will be with us for a while,” he said.
Concrossis, who now lives in the USA, grew up between Portsmouth in Portmore, St Catherine, and Bucknor in May Pen, Clarendon. He plans to release a nine-song EP called Progress.
