In July 2025, internationally acclaimed recording artist and cultural ambassador Empress Minott released her long-awaited EP, Gratitude. The six-track project features four original songs— “Mama & Papa,” “Love Again,” “Come Home,” and “Change”—alongside two powerful renditions of classics: Lionel Richie’s “Stuck on You” and Neil Diamond’s “I Am… I Said.”
With this release, Empress Minott showcases her growth, authenticity, and maturity as both a songwriter and performer. The originals highlight her ability to craft deeply personal yet universally relatable music, while her heartfelt interpretations of iconic tracks demonstrate her vocal range and artistry. ‘Gratitude’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms.
Known for her powerful voice, uplifting lyrics, and vibrant stage presence, Empress Minott has built a reputation as a voice of strength, love, and cultural pride. Her music blends roots reggae, soul, and conscious storytelling, creating anthems that inspire unity and empowerment.
Born in Portland, Jamaica, Empress Minott has taken her artistry across borders, performing in Canada, the Caribbean, the United States, and Mexico, where she toured in 2023. She has graced stages at international reggae festivals alongside globally recognized acts and has been featured on platforms such as CBC Radio, the International Women Achievers Awards, Reggae Exclusive Magazine/Awards, Rasta Fest, and Jamaica Day.
Continuing to forge her path as a cultural ambassador and advocate for women’s voices in music, Empress Minott is set to embark on her first-ever African Tour in 2025. She will perform in major cities and cultural hubs, marking a landmark journey of music, unity, and cultural exchange that further solidifies her role as a bridge between the African Diaspora and the world.
With ‘Gratitude’, Empress Minott not only honors her fans who inspired the project but also extends her message of love and resilience to a wider global audience. This latest body of work is poised to be celebrated by longtime supporters while attracting new listeners to her work.
