Ginjah’s Tun Up continues to rise on the charts
Reggae artiste Ginjah continues to make inroads on regional reggae charts with the song Tun Up.
The song, produced by Tads Records and released in January, rises from #12 to #7 on the South Florida Reggae chart. Over on the Foundation Radio Network (New York) Reggae chart, Tun Up steps up from #25 to #22.
“The song really came about based on the affection and admiration that I have for my woman. I’m always complimenting her, and so I decided to turn the compliments and affection into a song. And now, Tun Up is one of the most played songs for me on radio at present,” Ginjah said recently.
He added: “I feel elated to know that my music is making waves after all the challenges that I have faced. I’m more concerned about making good songs and songs that will stand the test of time while inspiring others. I am thankful for the song’s success nevertheless,” said Ginjah.
