A true creative at his core, reggae recording artiste and producer Skygrass is charging into 2026 with unstoppable momentum.

Following an album release in October 2025, the entertainer said that, although last year brought him much success, he’s ready to use new music to enhance connectivity as he soars even higher this year.

“I’m a creative individual overall; I sing, I write music, and I even make art. I love life and I’m just here as a spirit expressing myself through different forms,” he told the Jamaica Observer in a recent interview.

Admitting that his physical appearance deviates from the “natty dreadlocks” stereotypes that often define a roots-reggae artiste from Jamaica, Skygrass, who hails from Mona, shared that, as a lover of the genre, he believes he is walking firmly in his purpose as an artiste.

“Reggae music to me is one of, if not the most potent music in terms of message and authenticity, in terms of who we are as human beings and the things that connect us,” he said. The messages of reggae music were built on the idea that it’s one’s heart and soul that matter. It’s the king’s music, and we are all children of the king.”

Music critics and experts describe Skygrass’s music as a fusion of traditional Jamaican and contemporary sounds.

As far as the message is concerned, the entertainer presents himself as a messenger for “unity” and “oneness”. He shared that it is that common message that not only keeps him grounded but also connected to his fan base.

“I realised from an early age that reggae music is a common thread that binds us all together. It’s an expression that we use, that we need to get through the various ranges of emotions we experience as human beings. Ultimately, it helps us to understand the connectivity between us. Reggae music is amazing,” he said.

The entertainer shared that as he looks to surpass the achievements of 2025, industry players and music lovers alike will be seeing and hearing a lot more of him.

“In the Kingston area, I’m synonymous with live shows because I used to keep an event called Cosmic Rotation, which was a live series that gave a lot of artistes a platform, and so this music thing is a lifetime commitment for me,” he said. “This isn’t something I’m going to stop doing. Unnu nah stop see me.”

Skygrass is also set to make his TV series debut this year. The reggae artiste and his fiancée, Canadian-born comedian and recording artiste Nicole Arbour, have filmed reality-style docuseries with a US-based network, We The Studios, which is set to air on platforms such as Apple TV and
Roku. The upcoming series, which is set in Jamaica, is expected to offer a blend of romance, humour, and cultural immersion.
