One Love Reggae Tour at Metro City

This event has passed!

One Love Reggae Tour brings the ultimate blend of South Pacific Reggae Beats with the power of Jamaican Reggae Dance Hall onto one stage with 2 of Reggaes most wanted Rising Stars J BOOG (Jeffy Afemata) & LUKIE D (Michael Kennedy) touring Australia this April 2010.

Jerry Afemata, AKA J Boog, was working in a oil refinery in Southern California when a coworker helped him get his music heard at South Pac Entertainment. Now, residing in Makakilo, J Boog is becoming one of the most popular artists played on local airwaves. J Boogs debut release, Hear Me Roar, is a mixture of Reggae and R&B island style. South Pac Entertainment artist Fiji cowrote and produced this entry album. While a clear hip-hop style is expressed, there is very little note to J Boogs reggae roots. The songs are mellow and soulful, but no hint Samoan lyrics or instrumentation. Hes clearly hoping to attract a mainstream audience with this release. J Boog is sure to become a powerhouse in the Reggae/hip-hop and r&b music scene. After playing sold out shows in Dec 2009 audiences in Australia have demanded him to return after his brief visit, they will be rewarded with J Boog playing all his hits and will be the first to hear songs from his new album yet to be released.

LUKIE D, AKA Michael Kennedy began his career performing on various local sound systems, building a solid reputation as a dancehall singer. His influences included local heroes Frankie Paul, Tenor Saw and raga DJ Supercat. His popularity led to recording sessions that produced his biggest hit, Centre Of Attraction alongside combination hits with Lieutenant Stitchie(Dont Deny Me) and Bennie Man and Black Pear (Bag It Up). Lukie D Joined the Firehouse Crew producing and fostering the careers of Luciano and Sizzla as well as releasing his own songs I Wont Let You Go, Lonely Nights, Let Me Love You Now and many more, his success allowed him to commute between Jamaica and the USA and it was the influence from American music that he came up with his world wide smash hit Missing You Like Crazy.

DOX & Karat once again bring to the Reggae fans a awesome line up, J Boog and his counter part Lukie D who visits Australia for his first time will be joined by Australias number# 1 DJ Peter Gunz, get ready to enjoy Regges best live on stage.
