Hosting a reggae summit in my mind was to bring the creativity of the Canadian reggae scene together, not sure of a specific path yet with the talents, skills and minds of the folks attending; the goal was to spark a fire

Gash a light

Artist collabs, producer / artist collabs, studio contacts, marketing opportunities locally and internationally, connect the veterans to the younger as well as upcoming artists, exchange of ideas and sharing of contacts somehow helping the industry to move forward

Not here in Canada though

It has never manifested itself to tangible music sales that I know of

No infrastructure

No profits

No musically fiscal growth for the Canadian reggae industry

Everyone releases their own records, does their own promotions, informing the fan base of their musical releases

It is possible one or two folks are earning from their talent/s yet as an industry {not really an industry} we are not the musical reggae force that we could be in my opinion

Some great music here

Some great talent exists here

No not all are great songs or artists yet that is par for the course.  There are poor artists in all genre

We need a path to educating the buying public of the talented artists and great tunes and to produce a marketplace for sales opportunities for our reggae culture

How?

Less talkers

Most everyone you speak with has a solution or someone else to blame

I listen and smile inside because as these folks speak, I think to myself, “What makes this person an expert?  What is their resume?  What are they currently doing to progress reggae music?”

I ask these questions of myself

I notice that folks who “work” don’t talk much

They do not blame everyone else, or target someone for the demise of the culture

They just keep working

All of the time

Nuh bag a chat

How?

Infrastructure

Pick a spot in the culture that is lacking and work it

Marketing, promotion, effective distribution, create an area to buy music for Canadian reggae buyers, world class video production (seriously boring videos to date), building and international contact list and audience and many, many more things that might uplift the industry

Do what you love

Create from within your soul

It is the basis of our culture

A reggae summit by Canadian Reggae World is forthcoming and I do hope this time around, we are able to produce a glowing fire to uplift this culture
