Three Decades Representing World Music and Reggae Artists
Fast Lane International
has entered its third decade of representation for artists in
the reggae and world beat genres. Classic roots reggae greats
and exciting new world music artists grace the roster for 2016.
The agency continues to assist venues and event planners with
bookings, budgeting and talent buying.
From such a broad base of experience in the market, it can be
noted that the business of music has gone through some dramatic
changes, especially over the past ten years since the advent of
social media. It is the goal of this agency to assist artists in
understanding the dynamics of this change and what is now
required from the serious artist in developing an audience or
fan base prior to booking engagements. Fast Lane is prepared to
offer guidance and encouragement to emerging artists and share
the prospects of exciting new talent with venues and promoters.
To that end Fast Lane is pleased to introduce new and exciting
international Artists to US markets and to foster the exposure
of more classic reggae greats to younger audiences. This year
will prove to be an exceptional one for reggae veterans Big
Mountain returning to the roster after a long break; For Classic
roots reggae greats Culture (now fronted by Kenyatta Hill) and
songwriter extraordinaire Eric Donaldson continue touring to the
delight of a legion of fans, soothing and inspiring us all with
their beautiful lyrics, loping rhythms and message of peace and
brotherhood.
Kenyatta Hill embarking on a solo career has released a highly
acclaimed album and singles on Honest Music and tours to
promote.
At this time we are also honored to welcome and announce

Jah9, the first lady of the neo roots reggae revival When Jah9
sings, hearts and minds awaken. Old school blues improvisation,
meets hard hitting lyrical prowess, in a rich imaginative blend
of vocal clarity and complexity. She sings with a voice that
belies the dimensions of her physical body, from a soul much
older than its current vessel. Her philosophy is profoundly
spiritual, and ...her style is Jazz on Dub.
Dubtonic Kru are modern reggae to the core. Imagine heavy
baselines, one drops, psychedelic guitar riffs, echoing
keyboards, popping percussion and conscious lyrics Now imagine
roots reggae, imagine dub, rockPut them all together and you get
a new breed of Jamaican music called DubTonic Kru
