Dawn Raid Signs Up-and-Coming Reggae Sensation
Dawn Raid Signs Up-and-Coming Reggae Sensation
‘Swiss’
After a huge online / viral
buzz from his self-released single and video ‘Slow
Wind’, Dawn Raid Entertainment is pleased to announce the
signing of RnB/Reggae artist SWISS to a worldwide deal for
the release of his new EP Mr Slow Wind through Dawn
Raid / FMG / Universal Records.
Currently
residing in Brisbane, the 19 year-old Wellington-born singer
of Tongan descent has gone from strength to strength,
recently performing shows in Australia, New Zealand, and a
four city tour of the United States plus supporting acts
such as Nesian Mystik, J-Boog, Fiji, and 3 Houses Down.
Swiss is also building a healthy fan base in the US and
Hawaii as well as closer to home.
“The Reggae
scene in New Zealand and the Pacific has been steadily
growing over the last five years,” says Dawn Raid
co-director, Brotha D. “I’ve been looking for a special
young artist that can cross all boundaries and continue to
push pacific-based reggae music on a world stage. Swiss has
the talent.”
The first single from the EP ‘Slow
Wind’ hits radio this week and is set to be an urban smash
with the video already having well over 197,000 views on
youtube.
"To sign with such a prolific and
established label has been a blessing,” says Swiss. “For
a label to sign and invest in someone at the age of twenty
is always a risk, which is why I am so grateful for the
team at Dawn Raid."
