Nyle Banks targets youth

Reggae singer Nyle Banks believes that his latest single Can’t Turn Back Now is the motivational gem that the youth need to push towards their dreams.

“Anybody who’s trying to rise to the top is going to face adversity, and this song is a reminder that you can do it; all things are possible if you just believe in yourself,” Nyle Banks, whose real name is Nicholas Levy, said.

The single, produced by Fifth Element Records and one M14 Records, was released on Friday, February 7 with sparkling visuals.

The song itself is a snapshot of the struggles facing the typical youngster growing up in poverty but who is ambitiously aspiring towards one’s dreams.

“I hope this song can inspire the youths to focus on positive things and never give up on their dreams,” he said.

Nyle Banks has carved out a reputation as a talented singer and producer. Known for the hit song
You Are My Lady, he has dabbled in production, scoring hits such as Capleton’s Say Dem Love You on the rhythm compilation project called Precious Time. Released on his own Nyle Banks Music Group imprint, the album peaked at #5 on the Billboard reggae album charts.

Nyle Banks scored another major achievement when his collaboration In Another Life, featuring Hawaiian singer Irie Love, hit 4 million streams on Spotify, and also racked up 3 million plus streams on Apple Music. The song appeared in an episode of NCIS Hawaii.

The albums, Child of the Nile and New Wave helped the reggae-dancehall artiste gain a wider and more diverse audience. He has performed at shows in Belgium, Norway, Sweden, along with a 12-state US tour with Etana in 2016, a 12-state tour with Kranium in 2017, and a nine-state tour by himself in 2019.

He migrated to live in the USA and later changed his name from Fyakin to Nyle Banks in 2020. He returned to reside in Jamaica in 2022 and recently inked a recording and management contract with Devon Element, CEO of Fifth Element Records.
