BLVK H3RO is a remarkably talented and dynamic young artist from Jamaica, and has already made a significant impact in the music industry. With his innovative and inspiring modern reggae sound, he has garnered a devoted following over the past five years. Collaborating with renowned artists such as Bunny Wailer, UB40, Equiknoxx, and Skillibeng, BLVK H3RO has earned praise from fans and critics alike. Notably, his song “It Nuh Easy” caught the attention of none other than the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Holness, who commended its positive influence on the country’s youth. Furthermore, BLVK H3RO’s exceptional talent has been recognized by the prestigious Grammy Awards. In 2023, he received a coveted nomination for Best Global Music Performance.

SUBATOMIC SOUND SYSTEM was Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Brooklyn based touring band, frequent collaborators, and producers of the acclaimed 2017 album “Super Ape Returns to Conquer” which reimagined Scratch’s 1973 classic “Super Ape”, mixing the vintage Jamaican dub sound with 21st century bass and beats. Scratch & Subatomic & Screechy’s versions of “Chase the Devil” & “Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry is the Dub Organizer” have become some of Scratch’s biggest songs of this century. They recently performed Lee “Scratch” Perry memorial sets on the main stage at US festivals like The Marley Brother’s sold out 4/20 Kayafest at Red Rocks and Cali Vibes. With Scratch, Subatomic toured for over a decade across the US and beyond including sets at Coachella, France’s Telérama Dub Fest, Berlin’s Loop fest, Dubai’s SoleDXB, Hungary’s OzoraFest to name a few.
