Chronixx, the musical revolutionary, has announced a three parish
TOUR featuring his Zincfence Redemption Band live in concerts scheduled for March 13 -15. The four hour concerts
which form Part One of the “Capture Land JAMAICA Tour” kicks off in St.
Elizabeth on Friday March 13, then
goes on to Kingston Saturday March 14
and culminates in Portland on Sunday
March 15.
With a vision for development and a purpose
of being a change agent, the Reggae singer has also taken a novel approach to
his musical tour of the island. Each concert, produced by the Chronixx Music
Group, will be staged in venues that will ensure an intimate setting. The event
is a full length feature concert from Chronixx and the Zincfence Redemption
which will differ from the abbreviated performances delivered when the artiste
is billed as part of larger shows with limited time allotted for performing.
The concept of the event is driven by the
young musician’s belief that a movement is needed to catapult the music
industry to priority for policy makers and development. Chronixx explained this
view during an interview on Television Jamaica’s weekly entertainment programme
Entertainment Report aired on February
13, “I am doing an island tour..., we are doing tours and events in
makeshift venues, which means there is no form of movement that acknowledges
the fact that we are the main export. It’s not bauxite, it’s not tourism. It’s
music.” he stated.
With strong views and a militant approach to
his faith, the artiste will share with patrons his way of life and as such
notes that the event will be meat and alcohol free. Chronixx is excited about
the upcoming event which will mark his debut performances in Portland and St.
Elizabeth, giving him a chance to connect with a broader cross section of his
fan base. The artiste steadily rose in popularity but in 2010 received mass
approval with singles, Start A Fyah, Capitalist
(featuring Infinite) and Behind Curtain; and
continues to amass a strong international fan base.
Chronixx and Zincfence Redemption are currently in the United States on
the Dread and Terrible West Coast tour which features Kelissa and Keznamdi with
12 stops between February 14 and March 1. This is a testament to the artiste’s belief
in building a movement. He explained “We
don’t want to get in any form of competition and you find that when the
industry gets as diverse as it is right now, that is a very good thing for any
industry. You find yourself thinking competitive and for me that is not a
natural thing. Me is a youth love to
share my space, I don’t want to ever feel like this space belong to me.
Chronixx fi lock Jamaica, and we a lock down this. Mek every youth lock di
place.”
Chronixx released the seven track, Dread and
Terrible Project in 2014, to rave reviews from fans, which also peaked at
number one on the Reggae Album Billboard charts. He also gave
fans a sneak preview of the next single Ghetto
People, which premiered on Television Jamaica’s Entertainment Report. The
artiste notes that whilst he is always working and recording he is keen on
pacing his releases in the market.
The Capture Land tour kicks off on March
13 in in St Elizabeth, then on to Kingston on March 14 and culminates in Portland on March 15.
