Hence all the different genres blended together".
Such a unique talent (Jamar Cleary)
In recent times, he has received great traction from his single titled 'Something Wonderful', which penetrated the local market. "The reactions were great. It was all organic and that is what I’m most grateful for. It’s still growing as we speak", the 32-years-old singer expressed.
Highlighting his single 'Sky Way' featuring reggae star Jesse Royal, Kerr revealed; "I came up with the concept and Jesse and I basically grew up together so it was easy to work together. Also, I just released my latest single 'Caribbean Queen' so that’s the focus right now. Something for all the women of the Caribbean", he added.
With dreams of collaborating with the legendary Lauryn Hill, Ras-I is a very unique and promising talent in the Reggae space.
