Network picking up clear LawGiver is here!
With a voice that stirs the soul, LawGiver’s lyrical onslaught transcends boundaries to entertain and educate people both locally and internationally. His inherent passion for music stemmed from his personal journey which sees him delivering music rich with social commentaries, contemporary beats and an occasional love note. The dynamic vocalist and songwriter is determined in pursuing music of the highest quality while staying true to his roots – reggae.  LawGiver believes music is food for our souls and has amassed a following of like minded music lovers.
Born, Oneil Phoenix in Kingston, Jamaica, he later moved to the parish of St. Mary where he completed his education before returning to Kingston to pursue a full musical career. However, this quest for a place in the industry had begun earlier in St. Mary on his uncle’s Tidal Wave sound system. While growing up, he would compete in musical clashes with other young men from the community using imitation microphones molded from clay. Also, watching his Father spinning vinyl records on Sundays was his favorite past time.  “As soon as my Daddy touched that record box, I also got myself ready to go, because there was no leaving me behind,” beamed LawGiver.  Inspired by another uncle and cousin from the Ska group Jug Johnny and the Italites, LawGiver knew one day he would be a part of the music business. After all, it runs in his blood.
His mother also impacted him considerably.  A woman with strong morals and true to her culture; she was a part of the Islington Dinki Mini group. Going to dance practice with her, he was amazed by the sound of the instruments they used. Seeing her performing on the television with the group during Heroes Day, Emancipation and Independence Days also spiked his interest in becoming a musician. These earlier experiences and inspirations helped to develop his rich musical background and distinct voice.
Upon his return to Kingston, his first encounter was at Mixing Lab Studio where he worked with Jamaica’s prolific dancehall artiste Bounty Killer. Here he worked on the single “Bad Smell” on the Scare Dem Label as Stone Dyce; the moniker given to him by Bounty Killer who also played an essential role in the development of the artiste LawGiver is today. While at Mixing Lab, he became a part of the group Nu Born Thugs with whom he has done songs with such as “One God” and “Maternity Ward.”
At Mixing Lab Studio, he also met the musical power house duo Sly & Robbie who played an intricate part in the well rounded and balanced artiste he has become. He later went on to record his hit singles “Vibes” and “Oneness” on the Taxi Record label.  Subsequently, he has worked with Fat Eyes Production, Annex Records, and Collin Fat Records to name a few. He has also co-written songs for Merciless, Bounty Killer, Harry Toddler and Elephant Man.
LawGiver continues to captivate audiences both locally and internationally with his latest singles such “Nuh Greedy” on the Tenament Riddim and “Nuh Touch It” on the Chillum Riddim, produced by Macten Records. He has been working with them since they were introduced in 2008. Their first project was on the Cassava Riddim, with a song titled “So Nice to See.”  These riddims were all made by David Luckain Jr. aka Spanky, who he collaborated with on songs such as “Frozen” and ‘Nuh Greedy.”
In 2010, along with two friends he started the musical movement Tremor Maddanize. With a studio in place, they have worked on projects with many artistes such as Alozade, Half Pint, Pinchers, Kiprich, Merciless and Twin of Twins.
LawGiver’s music can be found at various digital music distributers such as ITunes, Spotify and Rhapsody. He has also infiltrated radio airwaves worldwide and every network that is ‘picking up clearly.’

Rebel Control emerged from the smoke and soul of the late-night reggae jams spearheaded by vocalist Andy Baron and musician/producer Richie Concrete in a disused shop in West London back in 2008. The sessions drew in a heavyweight collective of UK reggae talent and laid the foundation for a band rooted in friendship, unity and consciousness.
Taking their music and message far beyond the shop jams, Rebel Control lit up major UK festivals including Boomtown and Bestival and took their live show to stages in Italy, Poland, and Montenegro. Along the way, they’ve shared bills with reggae legends including Luciano, Mad Professor, and Easy Star All-Stars, while staying true to their principles — performing for causes close to their hearts such as Love Music Hate Racism.
With airplay and props from the likes of David Rodigan, Don Letts, and Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 1, 1Xtra, and BBC 6 Music — and international support across blogs, radio stations, and selectors worldwide — and with a new album imminent, Rebel Control stand steady, still vibing, still rising.

New York City's Easy Star Records has produced three of the best-selling and trendsetting reggae albums around - the Easy Star All-Stars' Dub Side of the Moon, Radiodread and Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band - while building an international brand and roster that has come to signify quality and class.

The independent label has created an impressive body of work that includes those above-mentioned in-house productions, along with progressive recordings from envelope-pushing acts like Protoje, Jesse Royal, John Brown's Body, The Skints, The Black Seeds, Rebelution, Passafire, Backbeat Soundsystem, Gentleman's Dub Club, Cas Haley, New Kingston, The Expanders, Lila Ike, The Late Ones, Marcus Gad, Tommy T, JonQuan and Ticklah; reissues of classic reggae from the vaults of Sugar Minott and Linval Thompson; new music from reggae legends The Meditations and Sister Carol; and collaborations with international reggae stars like Matisyahu,  Michael Rose, U Roy, Luciano, Anthony B, Christofer Martin and Morgan Heritage.

Easy Star has steadily built a scene that extends in many directions, following any path where reggae leads, bringing together young producers and musicians, reggae stars, and even artists outside the genre who have been influenced by Jamaican music, like Citizen Cope, blues musician/musicologist Corey Harris, Janelle Monáe, Jason Mraz and Kelly Clarkson.

The label manages its in-house musical collective/touring band The Easy Star All-Stars, who have played in over 30 countries on 6 continents. Dub Side of the Moon, Radiodread, Lonely Hearts and Thrillah have formed the backbone of a growing franchise of reggae re-inventions of classic albums; the band is at work on the next installment, targeted for 2022.

Easy Star has also developed a strong sense of how to market reggae to both core genre fans and a mass audience, leading to work consulting on marketing for albums such as Gov't Mule's Mighty High. Easy Star's musical director Michael Goldwasser produced albums for Corey Harris and Israeli band Hatikva 6, as well as remixes by Umphrey's McGee, Rebelution, Jason Mraz, Yoko Ono and more, bringing the Easy Star sound further outside the family. And Easy Star has raised its profile as a lifestyle brand with events such as Easy Star Reggae Tuesdays, which was one of the longest-running weekly reggae parties in New York.

Reanno Gordon P/K/A Busy Signal (born January 24),  is one of dancehall/reggae's most prolific artistes. He was born in the garden parish of St Ann where he was first introduced to music by his grandparents who took him to church.

Busy Signal later moved to areas in West and East Kingston such as Tivoli Gardens, Papine, Spanish Town before migrating to the United States. A past student of Brown's Town Comprehensive High School, Busy Signal's love affair with music continued.  He performed for his peers at school, beating his fists in time on his desk and deejaying Bounty Killer's songs (he claims to know all of Bounty's lyrics) before progressing to his own material.

Known as one of the artistes leading the contemporary dancehall movement, Busy Signal has been a large part of the scene since 2003. His first hit single, "Step Out", was one of the most popular dancehall songs in 2005.

His debut album Step Out was released a year later in 2006 with excellent reviews. With questions arising about his unusual moniker, Busy Signal explained that he got the nickname from his friends because he was constantly busy.

As his popularity grew, so did his catalogue. In 2007/2008, he released several hit singles including "Nah Go A Jail Again", "Smoke Some High Grade", "Tic Toc" and the track entitled "Unknown Number". September 22, 2008, Busy Signal released his second studio album titled Loaded, a 15 track compilation of VP Records of well known dancehall hits such as "Jail," "Whine Pon Di Edge," "These Are the Days,"  as well as never-heard-before exclusive tracks such as "People So Evil" and "Hustle Hard."

He also appeared on the lead single of international stars No Doubt's Push and Shove album.

On May 21, 2012, Busy Signal was arrested at the Norman Manley International Airport in Jamaica due to an an extradition warrant from the U.S.A, just weeks after the release of his latest studio album and first authentic reggae album - Reggae Music Again. He was however, released on November 16, 2013 after which his name was legally changed to Reanno Devon Gordon. After months of incarceration, Busy Signal maintained that it was the prayers and support of his family and friends which kept him going. 

Just months after his release, Busy Signal was once again thrust into the spotlight with the release of Bumaye (Watch Out Fi Dis) with Major Lazer. 

The single has been one of his most successful to date. It made its way to the Billboard charts before being certified Platinum by the International Federation of the Photographic Industry (IFPI) in Denmark.

The artiste also formed his own record label titled Turf Music Entertainment which has been extremely successful and pivotal in the artiste's career.

With promoters clamoring to book Busy Signal in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean, the artiste spends the majority of his time on tours, spreading reggae and dancehall music.

Having already embarked on several tours since the beginning of the year, Busy Signal is now gearing up to for the upcoming carnival season where he has already voiced a plethora of soca-infused songs.

He has always approached his craft from a different perspective, not trodding the usual road of trying to voice on many rhythms in order to try and catch a break. Instead, Busy chose to record songs with concepts attached to them on purpose-built rhythms and as such as garnered countless fans which he interacts with on a regular basis on his social media pages.

Busy's businesslike approach to the industry has made him into one of Jamaica's most successful artistes.

Jamar Rolando McNaughton, using the moniker Chronixx, has ignited a torch in people's hearts the world over and is confidently lighting the path for an entire generation of youths to rediscover roots and culture.

Born October 10, 1992, Chronixx was musically nurtured from an early age by his father, the artist Chronicle, and grew up surrounded by the likes of Burro Banton, Norris Man and Gregory Isaacs. This was before 'Little Chronicle' benefited from the mentorship of Danny Browne with whom he recorded his first tune in 2003. His remarkable ascension in the music industry was in full effect when he began harmonizing for artists such as Lutan Fyah and providing production assistance for tracks sung by Konshens, Munga Honorable, Popcaan and others.

Today, Chronixx is a respected artist in his own right after his career was stimulated by the unfortunate passing of both his blood brother in 2007 and his brother-in-arms, Lil' J.O.E., in 2010. He decided during that period of grief to bypass the difficulties of a young producer seeking external talent by, instead, channeling his energy wholeheartedly as a vocalist. Thankfully, early and unwavering support was received from Zincfence Records producer Romaine 'Teflon' Arnett, who was the first to urge Chronixx to sing the lyrics he was writing for others.

The first EP, Hooked on Chronixx, was released in 2010 and immediately put the budding artist on the radar of music lovers and industry heads alike. Among its 7 tracks, 'Start A Fyah,' 'Capitalist' (featuring Infinite) and 'Behind Curtain' stood out as a fan favorites, reaching far beyond Jamaican shores. Meanwhile, 'Warrior' became Chronixx's first official video and served to alert many more to his arrival.

Chronixx toured for the first time in 2013 when he went to Europe with his own band. Soon afterward, he bestowed a name upon this carefully assembled musical crew: Zincfence Redemption. Altogether, their fascinating stage presence has elevated the Chronixx experience to new and ever increasing heights.

Also in 2013, he and his team were Jamaica's only representation in Nairobi, where he performed as a Peace Ambassador ahead of Kenya's general elections. The next year, he found himself in New York City where he participated in a reggae and jazz series together with living legends Ernest Ranglin and Monty Alexander. By this time, Chronixx had established new and renewed working connections with Sly & Robbie, King Jammy, Leroy Sibbles and, again, Danny Browne.

The Dread & Terrible Project was released in April 2014 with seven tracks plus three dub versions, immediately topping both the Billboard and iTunes reggae charts. Neither an album nor an EP, the Project also includes a short film based on one of its tracks, 'Rastaman Wheel Out.' The film was directed by "The Guru" Ras Kassa and has received high critical acclaim. The hit single, 'Here Comes Trouble' can also be found on The Dread & Terrible Project.

With so much accomplished in so short a time, the world is bracing for greater wonders from this young man who walks with an old soul. For Chronixx himself, music is a mission and history is being made everyday still.

"Prepare your minds and hearts for this revolution."
