Singer Eldie Anthony of Kingston, Jamaica is one of the island’s most promising entertainers on the rise and has been winning the hearts of music fans from various genres on a global level due to his versatility as an artist compiled with his captivating sound and endless melodies. Popularly known for being the winner of three competitions; Turbulence’s Talent Search, Morgan Heritage Talent Search, and TVJ’s morning show “Smile Jamaica’s Roll Out”, Eldie was destined for stardom.

Musically mentored by the great Reggae Icon, Beres Hammond, Eldie has developed and polished his craft with Mr. Hammond’s expert guidance. He has taken what he has learned and has applied it in many areas of music. Eldie is an extremely versatile singer/songwriter who has crossed over in various music genres such as Reggae, R&B, Dancehall, Pop, Reggaeton, Dance, Techno, Dubstep and Hip Hop. His songs are filled with heartfelt melodies that will bring tears to your eyes.

After many years of searching for his big break, Eldie decided to take a unique approach to his advancement by becoming the CEO of his own career with the assistance of “The Worldwide Reggae Embassy” ( A career and business advancement organization) and other Music Embassies which he is utilizing for his furtherance in the industry. By partnering with the organization, he is not only learning the ropes of the music industry, yet also has acquired a massive team of consultants and executives to assist him in every step of the way to ensure success.

Due to the many struggles of trying to make it in the industry over the years, it was his passion and goal to assist others with their advancement and dreams once he became famous. Yet this opportunity has already manifested itself as he has already begun to assist others within the organization while still in development of his brand and career launch.

He participated as an Assistant Musical Director in the Embassies’ Musical Adventure Week where he co-wrote and co-produced songs for his fellow Embassy-mates such as Ma’Niche (Pop Music Embassy), I-Noble (Reggae Embassy), C-Zer (Hip Hop Embassy) and Charly King (Pop Music Embassy). He is now called the “Neyo” of the organization due to his many talents of songwriting, arranging, co-producing and music consulting in which is greatly appreciated by all of his fellow Embassy-mates.

Eldie Anthony has made history for not only himself but the genre of Reggae and Jamaica as well. He is the first up-and-coming artist in the world who has ever released a full-length debut DOUBLE album at the launch of his career. He has worked with numerous international composers from across the globe from the US, UK, Jamaica, Russia and Trinidad.

His album entitled BREAK FREE consists of two sides. Side one is entitled BREAK FREE – REGGAE VIBRATION which was developed strictly for the Reggae lovers who want authentic Jamaican music with no influence of mainstream music. Both albums were produced by Eldie Anthony and Music Embassies’ Executive Christina Grand. However, many tracks were co-produced with other Embassy clients such as composer/producer Askell and Eldie’s cousin, David “Jukie” Leckie.

The second side of the album is entitled BREAK FREE – YAADSTREAM. The word Yaadstream had been created by Eldie Anthony and Christina Grand to describe the fusion of Jamaican and Mainstream music.

The title of the fusion has been accepted by the Music Embassies and the official Embassy of the Reggae Industry; Reggae Embassy. It is now considered as the official new title of the fusion genre which combines Jamaican music with Mainstream music such as Pop, Hip Hop, and R & B. Eldie Anthony’s album, “Yaadstream”, consists of exactly just that and was the perfect title for the album which solidifies the genre’s name.

Both sides of the BREAK FREE ALBUM are available online on most online stores such as iTunes, Google Play, Spotify and more. Physical sales are available directly through the Reggae Embassy and Music Embassies. Many have contacted the Reggae Embassy and said they have become an instant fan by just listening to the short preview of each song on iTunes. His voice has been referred to as golden and velvet with a sound like no other. Sales have been doing well even prior to the official media launch of the album and Eldie’s career.

The world will be seeing a great deal of Eldie Anthony across multiple music genres this year and years to come as he climbs to the top. It is evident that it is just a matter of time for Eldie to take his position as an icon in the music industry and be warmly welcomed into the hearts of many worldwide.

Julian Taylor

Artist: Julian Taylor Band
Title: Fever & Set Me Free



Label: Aporia Records Inc
Genre(s): Funky Soul Blues & Roll

“In an era when music lovers seem to be required to like one thing, one style, one genre, we get the protean of the Julian Taylor Band – confident enough in their own abilities to delimit the genres and let the soulful beats resound from wider horizons.”

These words from acclaimed Toronto poet Robert Priest beautifully encapsulate the Julian Taylor Band’s new release Desert Star, a double magnum opus reflecting Toronto’s rich musical tapestry. Blending vintage soul, rock, roots, and a touch of hip-hop, the album is a re-birth of sorts for Julian Taylor, one of the country’s most gifted and multi-faceted singer-songwriters.

The Julian Taylor Band began as a blank canvas. They played anywhere and everywhere, as often as possible, knowing that a great band lives and dies by its live reputation. The R&B covers in their sets soon became the wellspring from which a new catalogue of original independent releases arose, landing on their debut Tech Noir, and setting the stage for the creative torrent unleashed on the sophomore Desert Star.

Taylor describes Desert Star himself as modern rhythm and blues: Deep grooves, powerful horns, and just the right amount of pop smarts. A relatively straightforward formula, yes, but Taylor ultimately envisioned the album as four distinct parts, stemming from sessions at various Toronto studios with producers Saam Hashemi, Bill Bell, Brian Moncarz, and David Engle.

Strange Anthem



Artist: Strange Anthem
Title: Dreamer (Pleasure Turbine Mix)
Genre: Trance, Psy-Trance, Electro-Industria
Label: Symphonic Distribution

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, Strange Anthem returns with
the psychedelic complex that is “Dreamer (Pleasure Turbine Mix).”

Dreamer is a sneak peek into the anticipated and forthcoming EP: Volume 1 Uncut. The track’s unexampled sound stems from roots in Industrial Rock. 

Strange Anthem deviates from conventional EDM and serves us with a refreshing, captivating take. 

The song is filled with dramatic builds, and an alluring ambience that transports its listeners into an alternate world.

A solo singer, songwriter, and producer, Strange Anthem is notorious for his ability to reflect power, rawness, and personal experience in his music. 

Witness the musical skill and superiority exemplified in this multifaceted artist’s music by keeping an eye out for “Dreamer.”
