This week on Just 2 Minutes: Grammy-nominated reggae artiste Jesse Royal.
In a thought-provoking sit-down with the Jamaica Observer’s Dre Skeen at the mg.jamaica showroom, Jesse reflects on the early influences that shaped his journey — from choir practice with one grandmother to the strength and faith of his other grandmother, a hardworking pastor and matriarch.
He shares stories of growing up around the Marley family, with Ziggy Marley standing out as a strong patriarchal influence. Their unwavering work ethic, he says, continues to motivate him daily.
Now a proud father, Jesse opens up about the delicate balance between being a present parent and a full-time musician.
With his third studio album on the way, the Rich Forever artiste remains humble in the face of fame: “Mi nuh reach. Reach weh? Mi have a long, long way to go.”
He acknowledges his blessings but says there’s still so much more he wants to contribute to reggae and to the world.
✨ Stay tuned for Part 2 of this power...
