desmond the songwriter

Meet desmond the songwriter—born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, where reggae music was born and where it’s almost impossible not to grow up surrounded by rhythm and soul. Desmond doesn’t just make music—he lives it. His debut album, Happiness Is Priceless, wasn’t just a release—it was a statement. It landed on the Luminate Reggae Chart and earned a spot on Pop Magazine’s list of the Top 50 Albums of 2020, ranking higher than albums by Taylor Swift and Alicia Keys. Yeah—he’s that good.
The Nashville Songwriters Association International named him a “Songwriter to Watch,” and Pop Magazine even nominated him for Emerging Artist of the Year in 2021. His music is now sold in nearly 200 stores across five countries, including Canada, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.
In 2023, Desmond dropped his second album, Another Guess Coming—a smooth fusion of reggae and R&B love songs. It’s been getting glowing reviews and airplay on Jamaica’s Irie FM and Sun City Radio.
