[New York]
For Caribbean Heritage Month, Grammy Award Winning Artist Estelle taps her Caribbean roots for a special edition of her Apple Music radio show.
The hit show, aptly named ‘The Estelle Show’ features an all island mix of Reggae, Soca, Calyspso, Jab Jab, and Dancehall with some of the Caribbean’s top Djs.
Featured DJs like Kevin Crown, DJ GabSoul, DJ Indian, DJ Chris Gayle and legendary King Addies will have listeners waiving their flags!
“The King Addies brand is celebrating our 40th Anniversary next year. I’m a part of the younger generation, however, Addies has dominated the international sound clash arena for a few decades. So, it’s an honor for a pop star like Estelle to highlight us on her platform,” says KingPin.
The ‘American Boy’ singer has sought to connect to her Caribbean roots throughout her career. Her 2008 single ‘Come Over’ featuring Jamaican singer Sean Paul garnered international acclaim. In 2019, Estelle released a full reggae album, ‘Lover’s Rock’. Later that year, Estelle made history on the Essence Festival stage, bringing out legendary artists for the first ever Reggae performance since the show’s 20+ years existence.
“I’m Grenadian and Sengalese, and grew up in London. I was surrounded by Caribbean music my entire life. I’m celebrating the culture, but I’m also apart of it,” says Estelle.
Catch the show live and on-demand Friday, June 17th – 7amEST/12pmGMT.
