Shella Topstar pleased with Reggae Sumfest debut
Dancehall artiste Shella Topstar is revelling in the success of his recent debut performance at Reggae Sumfest.
The artiste had the privilege of gracing the stage on Festival Night One. He wasted no time once he hit the stage, performing four of his more popular songs and immediately getting the crowd moving. He opened his performance with his November 2021 release, Cobra, which was followed by his hit single, Special. Throughout his set, the artiste took the time to share his gratitude and appreciation for the opportunity.
“Big up the whole Sumfest team for giving me this platform,” the artiste said. With energy levels consistently high and feeding off the crowd’s positive response, the artiste closed out his set with Banana.
“My first Sumfest performance was just good vibes overall. The crowd was loving it, the response was great, and I’m glad I got this chance,” the artiste stated.
Just four years into his career, the Clarendon native has been gaining popularity with his blend of dancehall, trap, reggae and Afrobeat sounds. Discussing a variety of topics through his lyrics, the artiste shared quite a bit of his own life and journey through tracks such as Options, Cold Iron and Far.
With this achievement under his belt, Shella Topstar is looking forward, anticipating more live performances. At the moment, work is being done to complete his second EP, titled Ying Yang. It is a follow-up to his 2019 release, Top Star. The seven-track project, which includes tracks such as Round & Around and Prove Dem Wrong, was produced by his current label, AXiM Records.
