Two-time Reggae Grammy nominee and Jamaican star Protoje blends hip hop, soul and jazz into his native sounds of reggae and dancehall. He began getting mainstream attention for his role in the “reggae revival” movement, characterized by addictive melodies and conscious lyrical messages. Around this time, his 2014 breakthrough anthem “Who Knows” featuring Chronixx was heard blaring through every street, sound system, and party.

Dubbed one of Jamaica’s brightest talents by VOGUE, Rolling Stone, and The FADER, Protoje has performed on Later…With Jools Holland, NPR Tiny Desk, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, & The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. From touring with the iconic Lauryn Hill, to gracing the stage of major festivals including Roots Picnic, Coachella, Glastonbury, Afropunk, Reading & Leeds,, Sole DXB in Dubai, and Lollapalooza Chile, Protoje’s genre-fusing performances are beloved by fans across the globe.

Notable collaborations include work with Jorja Smith, Alicia Keys, Wiz Khalifa, Pa Salieu, Popcaan, Chronixx and Koffee. He also founded his own label and management company Indiggnation Collective, “a significant incubator for Jamaica’s new emerging soundscape” (NYLON) which signed talent from the island. In 2020, he inked individual deals for himself and Indiggnation Collective artists Lila Iké, Sevana and Jaz Elise with RCA Records.
