Fast Lane International, founded in 1984 to spread the positive conscious energy and message of Reggae Music, has entered its fourth 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 2018. The agency also 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 with 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 of artists serious about 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 has proven to be an exceptional one for classic Roots Reggae greats Culture (now fronted by Kenyatta Hill) on a worldwide tour in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Two Sevens Clash Album which Rolling Stone in 2007 called the “coolest Reggae Album of all time
