“This is a special day for me. I just want to spend this moment with my fans, have them come out and just have a wonderful time. I started out as a youth in Connecticu­t, living there before venturing into Jamaica, so it will be a great time to reconnect with friends, family and fans there and just hold a vibe,” Chuck Fenda said.

Promising an up- close- and -personal experience in a safe and secure environmen­t, the artiste has intentions of making this a recurring event.

“I would love for it to be an annual thing, not just one-off but I want to be able to connect with my fans in different places such as Jamaica, New York and Connecticu­t,” he said.

June will be a busy month for Chuck Fenda, as he is also on the line-up for the Boston Culture Fest in Massachuse­tts, as well as the Bring Back The Love Tour in Providence, Rhode Island, on June 19. In addition, he will be on the line-up for the Kansas City Roots 22 Reggae Music and Jerk Fest in July.

15-track project is expected to officially drop on September 5. The album is produced by Chuck Fenda, Fire Wayne and Echo One Production­s.

“The songs on this album will be all about upliftment, getting people to look within themselves and find the greatness that is there. People get caught up in the hype of social media and lose their connection with the Creator, but it’s all an illusion. Hold firm and don’t lose the culture or connection with the supreme being. That’s what I want to get across,” the artiste said.
