Five acts were nominated for the 50th annual Juno Awards, which were announced virtually in Toronto yesterday.
The nominees in the Reggae Recording of the Year category are: Give it All by Ammoye (Donsome Records); Black Man by Blessed (Jumpshot); Roots Rock by Dubmatix featuring Micah Shemiah, Lasai and Big Sugar (Renegade Studios/Fontana North *The Orchard), Let it Be Done by Kirk Diamond (The Movement of Ahryel); and I Pray by Tome and Sean Kingston (Kiza Music).
Juno Awards are Canada’s equivalent to the Grammy.
“I’m over the moon, excited, grateful and thankful about my nomination for another Juno award. I’m totally elated,” an excited Ammoye said in an interview with the Jamaica Observer shortly after the nominations were announced.
This is Ammoye’s fifth nomination. She is from Halse Hall in Clarendon, but moved to Canada during her teenage years.
Give it All was produced by Adrian “Donsome” Hanson. It was released in June of last year.
