Reggae Songstress Ammoye |
HEAR HER PERFORM LIVE ON TUESDAY, JULY 9, 2013 AT SEVEN44 WITH THE HIGHER GROUND BAND! NO COVER + WINGS & DRINK SPECIALS!
Ammoye’s name is inspired by the Italian word for love. That’s what
goes into her music, and it’s how audiences respond to her wherever she
goes. Rooted in the reggae music of her native Jamaica, Canada’s 2011
Reggae Juno Music Award winner for Best Female Artist effortlessly glides
from reggae to dancehall and dub, to gospel and soul, to hiphop and
R&B, with breathtaking ease and presence. Her phenomenal new single
and video, “
Radio”, are currently taking over the airwaves and social
media, having already charted in the U.K. on Galaxy Gold Radio.
Ammoye released
"Haffi Win" in 2010,
a full length album that features a futuristic dancehall, dub, hip-hop and house collaboration
with Ottawa based producer Rise Ashen. Several of Ammoye's singles have also been released by
Balanced Records, which include production and remixes by heavy-hitting
producers such as Dubmatix, Courtney John, The Seed Organization and
Citizen Sound. She has recorded with the likes of: Grammy-winner Michael
Rose (of Black Uhuru), Alton Ellis, Ranking Joe, Pinchers, Kemar
“Flava” McGregor and the late Sugar Minott. Two of her songs, “
Best
Friend” and “
Catch Up” were featured on MTV’s 2010 Winter Olympics
special “Over The Bolts". Ammoye proudly represented Canada at the
World Expo in Shanghai that same year and featured prominently at several
events marking the 50th Anniversary of Jamaica’s independence.
Over the past several years, Ammoye has been consistently performing
at high-profile events and festivals in Canada and around the world,
touring sharing the stage with A-list artists such as: Michael Bublé,
Ziggy Marley, Freddie McGregor, Byron Lee & The Dragonaires, Beres
Hammond, Beenie Man, Chaka Demus & Pliers, The Heptones,
Gyptian, Richie Spice, Demarco, Frankie Paul, Joshua Nazuka Ken Boothe,
Easy Star All-Stars and Exco Levi, Third World, & Serani to name a few.
She is also the founder of the Sisters in Christ church group and the Voices of the
Underground Artist movement which became a much-appreciated resource
which continues to help talented independent artists promote and perform
their music.
