Gentleman is coming to Kwaku Summer Festival in Amsterdam! He is one of the most prominent reggae artists to emerge from Europe. He was fascinated by reggae music from a young age. Especially influenced by legends like Bob Marley and later drew inspiration from contemporary Jamaican artists. His connection to reggae deepened through frequent travels to Jamaica, where he immersed himself in the culture and language, eventually singing many of his songs in patois.

Gentleman first gained attention in the 1990s with collaborations alongside other reggae artists. His debut solo album, Trodin On (1999), showcased his authentic reggae sound, blending roots reggae with elements of dancehall and dub. He achieved wider success with albums like Journey to Jah (2002) and Confidence (2004), the latter featuring hit singles such as “Dem Gone” and helping him build a strong international fanbase.

Known for his conscious lyrics, Gentleman often addresses themes of love, social justice, spirituality, and unity. His style bridges traditional roots reggae with modern sounds, making his music accessible both to reggae purists and mainstream audiences. Over the years, he has collaborated with notable artists like Ky-Mani Marley, Alborosie, and Richie Stephens.
