Reggae artiste Akustix spends a third week at #1 on the Reggae North Canadian Top 20 Reggae chart with “I’ll Be Your King.”
The song, produced by Andrew White and Tony Green, was released last August.
“The truth is, “I’ll Be Your King” was inspired by the relationship that I was in while I was writing the song. Our union was really built on honesty and truth. She was my empress, my one and only, I didn’t have any desire to hang out with the man dem or seek relations elsewhere. The song is relatable to me personally because this is how I would express myself to a lady I love. The lyrics are authentically me,” Akustix told the Jamaica Observer last week Tuesday while he was in the island for a visit.
This is the first hit song for the artiste, formerly known as Andrew Ranxx. He is pleased with the reception.
“Since indulging back into creating music and the song, “I’ll Be Your King” charting internationally plus reaching #1, several opportunities have been coming my way, including songwriting for seasoned and emerging artistes here and aboard. The reception for “I’ll Be Your King” has being magnificent with doors opening from all angles,” said Akustix.
Born in Canada, he resides between there and Jamaica. His parents are from St Elizabeth. He started music professionally in the 1990s.
“First and foremost, music was always in my blood. My father, Keble White, was a member of the Grandville Williams Orchestra as a guitarist for a few years, and my older brother, Raffa Paul White, was a legendary drummer in Canada, both influenced me to be the artiste I am today,” Akustix disclosed.
Elsewhere on the chart, “Nah Cheat” by Iley Dread remains firm at #2, while “Feels Like a Movie” by Celena stays #3. “So Long” by Neto Yuth and Anthony B inches up to the #4 spot, while “Fathers” by Onique moves down to #5. Tonya P’s “Just Try,” which entered at #20 last week, creeps to #19.
The Canadian Top 20 Reggae and Dancehall chart is broadcast on Saturday’s 9 AM – 11 AM on Reggaenorthradio.com.
