Just over a year ago, Ital vendor turned singer, Redemption, was struggling to get an act on the same stage with local reggae stars, First Born. Tonight he performs at a Reggae Fest in Brooklyn, New York that features First Born as the headline act.
Since migrating to the US, Redemption has pushed his music while holding down a regular job and quietly, he rose up as fresh new sound out of Brooklyn. He had predicted the rise during a sit down with The Scene just before he left Guyana but was cautious then to point out that he still has a long way to go.
