Reggae artiste Lyunda wants to make a positive impact on the world with his music which is why he only records songs that carry uplifting messages.
“I am a Rastafarian, and I am here to make a positive change in the world with my music. I am here to teach people how to awaken their consciousness through words, sounds and power. I am here to heal and educate them with positive music,” said the artiste.
Lyunda is promoting his new single titled ‘Recycle’, the song which was produced by Letter i Dub Productions is currently enjoying heavy rotation both locally and internationally.
“I recorded this song to alert the people to what’s currently going on in the world because the slave masters have removed the chains and shackles but we’re still not free. They have trapped the people with their economic systems, rules and lies; it’s a recycled form of slavery. This slavery might be more subtle and well disguised but it’s very brutal,” he said.
The Kingston-born dub poet recently made another step up the musical ladder when he performed on Night 2 at Reggae Sumfest.
“Performing at Sumfest was an awesome experience. I received a warm reception. I am looking forward to performing at the festival again next year.”
He is currently busy in the studio working on his debut album which is slated for release next year.
Iyunda given name Courtney Robinson is a past student of Norman Manley High School. He made his recording debut in 1997 with a single titled ‘Love and Happiness’ on the Motive imprint.
