After copping his first #1 song as a solo artiste in South Florida, singer Peter G is eyeing similar success in Jamaica.

His song, Not Taking No, has topped the South Florida Reggae Chart for two weeks.

Not Taking No was released early this year on singer/producer Hopeton Lindo’s
Favorite rhythm, which also has songs by Lindo, Anthony Malvo, Sanchez, and Novel-T.

“Traditional reggae singers bring a melodic and soulful aspect that complements the rhythmic and lyrical styles of singjays and deejays. A balance of these elements can create a more dynamic and varied musical landscape, appealing to a wider audience and preserving the rich heritage of reggae music,” Peter G noted.

Born Peter Gayle, he got into the music business shortly after graduating from high school in the 1980s. Many of his songs have involved Lindo and Mikey Bennett, two of reggae’s dominant songwriters during the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s.

Peter G has also performed at Rototom Sunsplash as lead singer for the revamped Revolutionaries band.
