FOR much of his career, singer Pressure Buss Pipe’s audience has been largely Caribbean, but consistent tours of the United States and Europe in the last two years has changed that.
He counts reaching a mainstream audience as his biggest accomplishment this year.
“My press tour week in New York last February was a monumental moment for me. After being in the music business for almost a decade, it was extremely fulfilling to have the opportunity to perform on live television in such a huge media market like New York,” he told the Observer. “Arise 360 and Fox 5 Good Day New York has millions of viewers daily. It was an honor to expose my feel good music and brand to a whole new audience.”
Another high point was filming the video for his song, Nuh Worry Yourself, in his native St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. And performing in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital.
“I hosted actor Malik Yoba and TV/radio personality Claudia Jordan, it was an unforgettable experience. The biggest reward is that the video is now in rotation on MTV Jams, BET Jams and VH1 Soul,” said Pressure Buss Pipe. “After so many years in the game, it’s both fulfilling and rewarding to see my music video played on these mainstream music platforms.”
Born Delyno Brown, the 35-year-old artist hit Jamaican charts in 2007 with the lovers rock song, Love and Affection.
On Saturday, Pressure Buss Pipe holds the third staging of his peace concert in St Thomas with Queen Ifrica and Duane Stephenson. He plans to release his Lovers Rock album in early 2016.
