In the world of reggae music, Empress Minott stands out as a rising star, captivating audiences with her soulful melodies and empowering lyrics wherever her music takes her. The year 2023 has proven to be a remarkable chapter in her career, marked by international acclaim, a successful tour, and recognition for her contributions to art and culture.
The journey began when Mike Dread of Larga Vida Reggae Crew in Mexico curated a mixtape featuring Empress Minott’s music. The mixtape swiftly climbed the charts, earning a spot on the Lover’s Rock Chart and igniting a wave of admiration among fans in Mexico. Responding to the overwhelming demand, Empress Minott embarked on a tour, setting off from Canada to Mexico City on November 21st.
Her tour includes three electrifying shows, live radio interviews, meet-and-greet sessions, and a Dubplate session, promising an exciting experience for her fans. This venture follows a successful performance at the Mango Tree Bar & Grill in the Cayman Islands earlier in the year, where her music resonated deeply with the audience.
Empress Minott’s impact is not confined to stages; she has been recognized for her artistic achievements and cultural contributions. In June, she received the Art and Culture award from the International Women’s Achievers Awards, and later in the year, she clinched the Excellence in Culture Music 2023 at the Peabo Excellence Award show.
Beyond her musical prowess, Empress Minott is a multifaceted entrepreneur. Through her business, @igloproducts, she sells a range of popular products, including Nice Creams, Shea Butter, Natural Oils, and Natural Juices. With a commitment to community engagement, she employs two individuals to vend these products at popular events in Toronto and surrounding areas.
Her artistic talents extend beyond music; in 2021, Empress Minott discovered a newfound passion for visual art as a means of coping with the loss of her father. This creative outlet has not only provided solace but has also become a source of inspiration for her fans.
Looking ahead to 2024, Empress Minott has an exciting lineup of projects. Fans can anticipate more uplifting and empowering music as she gears up for tours in Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean Islands. Additionally, she plans to publish her book, “F.E.M.P.S” (Financial, Emotional, Mental, Physical & Spiritual), offering insights into achieving a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle. Empress Minott’s journey is a testament to her resilience, creativity, and dedication to making a positive impact through her art and entrepreneurship.
