MORTIMER WINS REGGAE IMPACT AWARD AT 2024 CARIBBEAN MUSIC AWARDS
Rising Jamaican star Mortimer has made a significant mark on the reggae scene by winning the Reggae Impact Award at the Caribbean Music Awards. This prestigious honour recognises artists who have greatly contributed to the genre, and Mortimer’s win cements his place as a leading figure in modern reggae.
This award comes as excitement builds for Mortimer’s highly anticipated debut album, From Within, set to release on 20 September 2024. Produced by Grammy-nominated Jamaican visionary Winta James, with Mortimer’s input on select tracks, the album promises to be a powerful exploration of human emotions.
UPCOMING DEBUT ALBUM ‘FROM WITHIN’ IS A REFLECTION OF HUMAN DUALITY
From Within opens with “In My Time,” featuring reggae legend Damian ‘Jr. Gong’ Marley. The album also includes collaborations with 2023 Grammy-winner Kabaka Pyramid and contemporary artist Lila Iké on the new single “Bruises.”
Mortimer describes From Within as a reflection of human duality, capturing both pain and hope. His unique sound blends R&B with reggae, creating a chilled vibe complemented by his raspy alto and smooth falsetto.
With profound, soul-searching lyrics over calm grooves, Mortimer’s music offers listeners an emotional and introspective experience.
This award and the upcoming album firmly establish Mortimer as a force in reggae, one who beautifully balances emotional struggle with joy in his music.
