Junavill making waves with Genesis 2026

Junavill making waves with Genesis 2026

The Genesis 2026 rhythm by producer Collin “Junavill” Clarke — founder of JUNA-VILL Records — has been making the rounds as it features a slew of well-known acts.

The project, which was released on November 28, 2025 sees offerings from Sequence Di Boss, Delly Ranx, Utan Green, Sativa D Black 1, D’Angel, Ganggoolie, Flourgan, Jigsy King, Little Hero, Emanuel Stain, T-Drive, and others aligned with the JUNA-VILL movement.

“These artistes were selected because of their conscious approach to music, authenticity, and ability to make timeless material. Each artiste offers a unique voice and lyrical strength, yet they all share the same commitment to meaningful, message-driven work. Their contributions align perfectly with the purpose of JUNA-VILL Records: Building music that stands the test of time,” the producer told the Jamaica Observer.

Junavill, who hails from Mandeville, Manchester, also holds residencies in Florida and Europe. His record label was founded in December 2024.

“By early 2025 the development of the identity, branding, and operational structure came into motion. The formal registration followed shortly after, giving official status to a brand already built on intention, structure, and a commitment to producing conscious, timeless music,” the producer added.

Other JUNA-VILL productions include the Gyal Teef rhythm and the Fire Rocket rhythm.

The production house was also affiliated with the re-edition of the Two Time rhythm.

Although JUNA-VILL Records formally developed in 2025 into early 2026, Junavill’s work with artistes began earlier through bookings, management, and creative partnerships.

He further explained that he maintains authenticity and tunnel vision in a diverse industry filled with other creatives.

“What sets me apart is my approach. I do not compete with other producers; I stay focused on my lane and my vision. My goal is not to follow trends or chase hype; my vision is to build catalogues. I am intentional with the artistes I select and the projects I develop. Everything must align with purpose, message, and longevity. I am already established in life, so music for me is passion, not pressure. This allows me to create from a place of clarity, rather than desperation. I am here to build a legacy, not to seek validation,” he said.

Junavill has clear goals to cement his name in music for long-term success.

“My ultimate goal is to establish a lasting legacy of conscious, timeless music with international reach. I aim to create a catalogue that grows stronger every year; productions that carry meaning, structure, and cultural value. I want to elevate artistes who are committed to positive expression and provide them with platforms where their voices can be heard globally. For me, music is purpose, and my mission is to use that purpose to uplift, empower, and contribute something valuable to Jamaican music and the world,” he said.
