HERO is the latest song from emerging act Javvy1. The artiste highlights the importance of having positive role models.

“The song is inspired by my own upbringing in which I talk about how I was just a kid in my community to being someone who everyone looks up to, someone who is a community leader, that’s how the name hero came along. I know what it means to need a hero and to be a role model; young children need that even more today,” reasoned the artiste whose real name is Reneil Reid.

Hero will be released under the Chuckstar Production imprint in October.

“The feedback to the demo has been buzzing all over social media and the fans are patiently awaiting its release,” he said.

Reid grew up in the Trinityville area of St Thomas where he attended Happy Grove and then Paul Bogle high schools. He was drawn to music at an early age.

“Music is a natural talent that I’ve had since I know myself. Been deejaying from school, knocking desk for drum like most artiste did while growing up. Then I went around a producer — Flydie Wise — began developing my skills, and it’s been music from then,” he said.

He christened himself Javvy, which was an abbreviation of his middle name, and jumped head first into the music business.

“My little brother first called me Javvy because he knew I hate being called by my real name, so when I decided to do music I used that name as my stage name,” he explained.

His first official release was Chill Time, produced by Chuckstar Production and released in November 2021.

Javvy1 is now turning his attention towards the six-song EP Hero, which is slated to be released in November 2022. Some of the songs from the EP include What If?, Pain, and the aforementioned Hero, all produced by Chuckstar Productions.
