One Love Nutrifest dubbed the Miami International Reggae Festival is a positive celebration highlighting the power of word, sound and art uniting us all as members of one human family . Join us as we celebrate the state and quality of being one.  The daylong family-oriented festival will be composed of many elements but all share in a single idea: a state of being unified as one. As Bob Marley so humbly said, “one love, one aim, one destiny.” The festival aims to inspire people to give of themselves to help make the world a better place in which to live. “We’re accomplishing this task by spreading art, culture and music while offering relief and humanitarian aid.” This event is produced by Rockers Movement.

Carroll Thompson -  Simply In Love

Janet Kay was born in North West London, of Jamaican parentage. Her career took off when she  recorded  a reggae cover of Minnie Ripperton's track, "Lovin' You" (produced by the Late Alton Ellis) which became a number one hit in the UK reggae charts in 1977. Janet recorded several other hits in the following 2 years.  In 1979, "Silly Games" (produced by Dennis Bovell) became a hit in not only the UK, but also in Europe.  Janet has been recorded in the Music Guinness Book of Records, as the first British black female reggae artist to have a reggae song at the top of the UK Pop charts. Janet appeared on BBC Television's Top of the Pops several times. 

Janet was also one of the creators and main characters (Angel) in the cast of the cult television sitcom  ‘No Problem’! (1981 - 1985) and has also made many other stage, TV and screen appearances.

In 1993 Janet had a No. 1 hit in Japan with, ironically “Lovin’ You” which she had re-recorded.  This was one of the tracks that sparked the reggae boom in Japan in the early 90’s.  Sony Music Japan signed Janet to their label where she had a string of hits in Japan and recorded 6 albums for them between 1993 and 2003.

Recently, Janet along side Victor Romero Evans and Carroll Thompson have been touring their successful hit show 'The Lovers Rock Monologues' in theatres around the UK.

Most recent album release is the Classic Covers Collection Vol. 1 available on iTunes and CD Baby.
