For years, Vernal Sage has balanced two worlds —corporate professional by day, reggae artist by passion. Now, after decades of persistence, sacrifice and unwavering belief in his talent, the singer is finally seeing the rewards of that journey.

His latest single, Good Over Evil, is gaining serious traction, breaking into the Top 10 on multiple urban and ethnic radio charts and positioning the singer for what could be the biggest breakthrough of his career.

The inspirational reggae anthem recently climbed to No. 10 on the Jamaica Music Countdown chart, placing him in elite company alongside some of the genre’s biggest names, including Buju Banton, whose hit Butterflies currently sits just ahead of him. The momentum has been even stronger internationally, with Good Over Evil soaring to No. 4 on the Island Gold Radio chart in West Palm Beach, Florida.

For Sage, the success is both humbling and motivating.

“The streaming numbers are growing steadily every day,” he said. “It’s an amazing feeling to be on the charts and in the Top 10. It’s great to see that hard work is finally being recognised. But there’s still a long way to go.”

The buzz surrounding the single continues to spread. The huge buzz around the song’s message inspired him to fast-track the video for the project – shot and directed by  Richie B Radio Production Services.

A teaser video was released via online streaming platform, YouTube, on June 25th.

“The official video will be released in the first week of July. The feedback so far has been amazing, it’s doing well with the most engagement in the Caribbean, in territories like Barbados, Trinidad, and also countries like France and Kenya,” he said.

The song has earned playlist support from veteran broadcaster DJ Tony Anthony on Reggae North Radio, one of Canada’s leading online reggae and dancehall stations.

Back home in Jamaica, Good Over Evil has become a fixture at several of Kingston’s most influential weekly events, including Boasy Tuesday, Weddy Weddy Wednesdays and Feel Good Thursdays, exposing the record to a growing audience of reggae and dancehall fans.

The rising profile of the song has also opened new doors for the artiste. In another sign of his growing influence, Sage has been invited to serve as a presenter at the 2026 Reggae North Music Awards in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.

The achievement represents a significant milestone for a man whose musical journey has been anything but conventional.

Born in Westmoreland and raised as the eldest of eight children, Saje’s love affair with music began early. He attended Glenmuir High School, where he became a member of the school choir, before later moving to Rocky Point, Clarendon, to continue his studies at Clarendon College.

His first recordings came in the early 1990s under the stage name Green T, when he cut three songs and began exploring the possibilities of a professional music career. Then he took a sabbatical.

He roared back with radio hit, One Night Stand in 2025 and is now upping the ante with his latest release.

The charts may be climbing, the streams may be growing and the opportunities may be multiplying, but for the veteran singer, Good Over Evil is about more than numbers. It is proof that perseverance still matters.

After years of balancing careers, overcoming setbacks and waiting patiently for his moment, Vernal Sage is finally seeing the spotlight shine in his direction.

And if the current momentum is any indication, this chapter of his story may be only the beginning.
