Kingston, Jamaica: - The year 2013 is certainly looking to be the breakout year for
rising reggae entertainer, Droop Lion. The Freeway singer
made his exciting debut in Europe in April, to much acclaim, and the series of
shows continues throughout the month of May.
Continuing with a performance in Amsterdam on May 15, Droop Lion
moved on to Rotterdam, Reims, Colmar, Paris and Guyancourt, soothing fans with
a combination of his trademark “big voice” and his riveting lyrical content.
The Rastafarian artiste has been eliciting rave reviews from critics and fans
alike all over the continent, as he has kept his vow to let his music do the
talking.
“It is a joy to be here in Europe on tour singing for the people
and building up a fan base. Being on tour gives you a new appreciation for the
power of Reggae music and it ignites a new passion within to be the best Reggae
ambassador that you can possibly be,” Droop Lion noted.
“The energy level is incredible – both on the road while
travelling in the tour bus from one city or country to the next and also when
we reach the venues to perform. Everyone is in harmony and Jah is definitely
our guide. Give thanks to Capleton for inviting me to be a part of this
mystical, musical experience and also to the Prophecy Band for providing the
music,” the young Lion stated.
Droop Lion’s European trip climaxes on May 25 with a
stop in Helsinki, where he is scheduled to wrap up his nine-city tour at the
Wildlife Festival, held annually in Finland. Wildlife Helsinki takes place from
the 24th to the 26th and, this year, the
Prophet Capleton is the headline act for the Saturday night. Droop Lion has
been the opening act for Capleton on this tour.
The reggae singer makes his return to Jamaica at the end of May
and will go straight into studio to continue the production of his debut album,
on which he is collaborating with ‘A’ list producers, musicians and artistes.
Droop Lion savoured his first taste of success with the single, Freeway,
which he followed up with the soothing Pray for Them, a song
he says he penned after a flood a few years ago, which saw two men being washed
away in the Sandy Gully. Other standout songs in his steadily growing
repertoire include Lock down, a protest song against police
brutality, and the thought-provoking Long Way Down.
