Explosive Dancehall artist Konshens will perform live at the Regional Night of Jamzone Summer Break 2013 come August 16 at the Guyana National Stadium.
Konshens, whose real name is Garfield Spence, is one of several artists who have been booked to perform at this year’s Regional Concert which has been known to attract thousands.
With hits like ‘Realest Song’, ‘Winner’, ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’, ‘Represent’, ‘Gal Dem a Talk’ and more recently songs that have been sending shockwaves throughout the Caribbean and other parts of the world ‘Couple Up’, ‘I’m coming’, ‘Siddung’, ‘Boost Har Up’ and ‘Bad Gal’, Konshens is sure to rock the venue!
Known to be one of the Caribbean’s most adroit entertainers, Konshens is considered to be an unstoppable performer as this quality is paired with his astounding vocal flair leaving fans mesmerized long after he leaves the stage.
Konshens is one of the few artistes that have broken through the social strata, creating songs that explore and address a wide spectrum of issues including crime, discrimination, prejudice, poverty and political pandering. Of course, Konshens also explores the lighter side of living through his songs created just for dancing and romancing the ladies.
His 2005 single “Pon Di Corner” was a major hit in Japan, Juba, South Sudan and led to a month-long tour of the country and a Japan-only album release. His album, Real Talk, was released by Japanese label Koyashi in 2010. A second album was also announced to be released in Jamaica on Tad Dawkins’ Tad’s International label. Konshens also launched his own Subkonshus label in 2010, working with new acts including his brother Delus.
In May 2011, he was one of several high-profile Jamaican celebrities to take part in a march in Torrington Park calling for an end to political rivalry in the area, commemorating a fire in May 1980 at the Eventide Home which killed over 150 elderly women, for which politically motivated arson was suspected.
This artist’s ability to captivate his audience with heart-throbbing and nonstop-gyrating tunes makes him a sure pick for Jamzone Summer Break 2013 Regional Concert!
