Party: Guest Host Randy Valentine at #JamJam June 5th

Randy Valentine (UK / Jamaica) at #JamJam 6-05-17 w/ DJ Tankgyal (Vancouver/Canada / Lighta! Sound / Ting) and Zions Gate Sound (Element)

Versatile singer / songwriter/ producer Randy Valentine hails from countrysides of Clarendon in Jamaica. As a child growing up he was heavily influenced by his father's love for music, which was expressed mostly via a sound sytem that his father owned called SHINING STAR SOUND.

His career has been growing from strength to strength since the release of his debut mixtape “Bring Back The Love” in 2012 where he sang over 13 tracks – all built upon STUDIO ONE Riddims, such as “Stalag Riddim”, “Bobby Babylon Riddim”, “Lecturer Riddim” and more… Since then, it has been described by some to be a Reggae Classic.

After the success of his first official EP “Break The chain” (HEMP HIGHER PROD 2014), he confirmed his status as one of the leading young reggae artists as the project topped itunes reggae sales charts in over 9 countries. His second EP “Still Pushing” (produced by JOE ARIWA, son of legendary MAD PROFESSOR) was released the following year in 2015, and went straight to the top of the Itunes reggae charts again – confirming that Randy was not a passing sensation and was definitely here to stay.

2015 was also the year in which Randy started to explore different genres of music, as he featured on MAJOR LAZER’s EP: “Peace is the mission” (No1 on Billboard Dance / Electronic albums), and also collaborated on one of the most talked about musical projects of the year: WU TANG’s unique album copy of “Once upon a time in Shaolin”.

His 19-track mixtape entitled “RADIO MUSIC” (released January 2016) recorded over a series of classic hip hop instrumentals mostly from the late 90’s (often considered one of the “golden ages” of Hip-Hop). When asked why he chose these specific instrumentals his answer was plainly ”They inspire me to inspire others”.

Randy's vocals are also featured alongside Cuban singer Solis on the debut single "Carnival" off Australian producer Mista Savona's groundbreaking "Havana meets Kingston" project which fuses the music of neighbouring islands Cuba and Jamaica for the first time ever.

Currently on tour in California promoting his new single "Same War", Seattle will be his last US stop before heading to Canada then back to Europe for the summer festival circuit.
