Singer and songwriter Junior X recently embarked on a 10-day promotional tour of the United States. With the popularity of his 2002 hit Plea My Cause under his belt, the artiste geared up to promote his new singles The Pill and Gangsta Life.

Born Richard White, Junior X is no stranger to the music industry. In the early 1990s, he co-wrote several songs with the hit-making duo, Chaka Demus and Pliers. In 2002, he hit music charts and radio playlists around the world with singles Plead My Cause, Freedom and Seek Your Goal — all of which were released on the Herbs House Entertainment Label. In mid-2009, Junior X signed a three-year management deal with Revolutionary Entertainment, a Delaware-based company.

Junior X kicked his tour into high gear with on-air interviews with DJ Roy of IRIE Jam (93.5 FM) and DJ Kevin Crown of Linkup Radio (93.5 FM). He did several other interviews at WBLS 107.5 where he chatted with renowned radio personality Dahved Levy; Sirius/XM Radio, Crossover TV; IRIE Jam Radio (93.5FM) with Andrew D and DJ Face; WRL/Carib Zone with Prince Kalunda, CLMTV with Clem and Culture Jam Radio with Jeff and Bobby, to name a few. Junior X was also featured in Everybody’s Magazine and Whereitzat Magazine as well as on popular Internet sites such as Images Newsletter and Tropical Fete.

The artiste also performed at JAMROCK Magazine’s premiere event, “Rock the Runway”. His energetic performance had the crowd singing along to Plead My Cause, after which he did The Pill, the first single from his debut album. It has been resting comfortably on several music charts in Jamaica, while the video receives airplay on RETV and Hype TV. Junior X closed out his set with the second single, Gangsta Life, also from his upcoming album. With cheers from the crowd and nods of approval from host David ‘Squeeze’ Annakie and reggae artiste Tanya Stephens, it was the perfect ending to his performance.

The singer is now back in Jamaica to wrap up production of his album, which is slated for release in 2010.
