Whenever Jerone enters the recording booth, his objective is not just to get a hit song, but maintain the lofty legacy of Waterhouse, his hometown.
The singer is currently promoting his latest songs, Give Me A Minute and Brother’s Keeper, both produced by Real People Music.
They are driven by the lovers rock and roots-reggae message themes synonymous with artists from Waterhouse, a working-class community in Kingston, Jamaica’s capital.
“Waterhouse is rich with musical history, producing the likes of Black Uhuru, Junior Reid, Beenie Man and producers King Jammy’s and Bobby Digital. I hope to join the line of greats to be an inspiration especially to the youths of my community,” said Jerone.
Released in March, Brother’s Keeper carries a timely message, of looking out for one’s neighbor, especially as the coronavirus ravages the world.
Give Me A Minute is a loves rock number, similar to Jerone’s previous singles.
Born Jerone Riley, he was a teacher at the primary school level in Kingston when he entered the popular Rising Stars talent contest in 2017. He placed in the Top 10, and made his recording debut the following year with Wake Up.
According to Jerone, he applies the same approach to singing as he did in the classroom.
“Teaching had its challenges but the reward was sweet, just to see the kids grasping what is being taught and applying it and although I’m not a qualified teacher and my musical education was self-taught, the objective was always achieved,” he said.
