Portmore-based artist Burning Babylon is a compelling new voice in the modern roots movement, rising from the dense musical ecosystem and vibrant street culture of the "Sunshine City." Defined by a sound that marries the foundational weight of rub-a-dub with the slick, forward-thinking textures of new-age production, his earliest tracks were crafted in makeshift home studios and sharpened through the rigors of the local sound system circuit.
Following a groundswell of support across the island’s southern parishes, Burning Babylon has successfully transitioned to an international stage while upholding a fierce, "island-centric" philosophy. Focused on poignant themes of spiritual awakening, urban struggle, and ancestral pride, he deliberately bypasses mainstream gimmicks to document the unvarnished reality of Jamaican life, ensuring his message remains an authentic extension of the soil that nurtured his craft.
