“It’s an honor to work with a legend and trailblazer of Buju’s caliber – His music catalog is simply unparalleled. We’re thrilled to help propel his legacy forward and look forward to amplifying his resurgence on a global level,” says co-presidents at Roc Nation Shari Bryant and Omar Grant

Buju Banton’s music elicits feelings, emotion and inspires change.

The tour showcased the legendary reggae singer performing his classic hits from “Untold Stories” to “Champion.” When the tour hit Kingston, Jamaica, it welcomed over 30,000 people from all over the world. Prior to Buju Banton, no other Jamaican artist headlined the prestigious National Stadium since Bob Marley performed there at the One Love Peace Concert on April 22, 1978.

Banton’s last studio album, Before the Dawn, was released in 2010. Buju Banton is a Grammy award-winning artist, a multiple Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping singer who is considered a legendary reggae artist all over the world.
