Reggae and Dancehall’s Influence on Hip-Hop

The Style & Vibes Podcast

07/03/23 • 29 min

This year Hip-Hop celebrates its 50th anniversary as a genre. You can’t talk about hip-hop and not talk about the influence that Jamaican sound culture played on hip-hop as a genre.

Reasoning with Odessa!

The Style & Vibes Podcast

01/27/20 • 57 min

This week I’m reasoning with fellow podcaster Odessa! She’s much more than a podcaster, she’s the founder of O-access Jamaica, a media platform sharing the best in Jamaican music and lifestyle. She has a number of years of experience in the entertainment industry ranging from Record labels to brand experiences, TV shows and so much more. Currently a T.V. executive for Jamaica’s Daytime LIVE while building her own media platform, Odessa shares her journey as a reggae legend’s daughter, navigating the entertainment industry, the meaning of growing up as a Pan African and of course her thoughts on some of the latest trends in music.

Music Marketing with Chelsea Grant

The Style & Vibes Podcast

11/04/19 • 42 min

In this episode we’re talking to music marketing maven Chelsea Grant, she been in the music and entertainment industry for a few years now and recently joined Caribbean record label VP Records as a project manager working with album launches for Chris Martin, Busy Signal, Jah Cure and many more. We talk a lot about the consumption of music and trends that I thought it would be a great idea to talk more about the business side. While we get to learn about her journey, she gives some insightful gems about the state of the business side, the actual impact and value of reggae/dancehall and what artist can do to continue to grow in the business.

A Taste of Reggae Sumfest

The Style & Vibes Podcast

07/27/20 • 25 min

The Reggae Sumfest team did a great job putting together #ATasteofSumfest festival in just a few weeks, while most festivals are being canceled or going virtual for 2020, Sumfest is the only Caribbean festival to keep a presence this year. A Taste of Sumfest had a week-long schedule of digital events including music workshops, panels, re-visited older performances and showcased Jamaican homegrown artists on their own turf giving shorter performances for each artist gave us a great sample and something for us to rally around for Reggae and Dancehall music.
