On Sunday, September 29th, 2024, the vibrant beats of reggae and dancehall will resound through the Rose Theatre in Brampton as the inaugural Reggae North Music Awards take center stage. Presented by Reggae North Canada (INC), the event marks a historic moment in Canadian music history, spotlighting the diverse talents within the country’s reggae and dancehall scene.
With the rise of digital platforms like Reggaenorthca.com and Reggaenorthradio.com, Reggae North has become a beacon for promoting and amplifying the voices of Canadian reggae and dancehall artists. Now, with the launch of the Reggae North Music Awards, this commitment to showcasing talent reaches new heights.
Mark ‘Tony Anthony’ Bennett, president of Reggae North, says the awards aim to address the gap in recognition and platforms for Canadian reggae and dancehall artists. Reggae North vision is clear: to provide a stage where emerging and established artists alike can shine, transcending barriers and reaching audiences both locally and internationally.
The significance of the Reggae North Music Awards extends beyond mere celebration; it’s a platform for education and appreciation. By honoring the contributions of Canadian artists to the global reggae and dancehall landscape, the awards spotlight the cultural impact of these genres. Moreover, they serve as a call to action, urging audiences to recognize and support homegrown talent.
The event promises an evening of elegance and celebration, with up to 20 awards set to be presented to artists, producers, sound systems, and selectors. Live performances by Canadian reggae and dancehall artists will captivate the audience, while the presence of an international reggae star adds an extra layer of excitement to the festivities.
One of the highlights of the evening will be the presentation of the elite Icon Award, honoring a living legend of Canadian reggae or dancehall.
