PHENOMDEN Nah Give up
Kingston and Zurich, March 2016, media info Motivation Riddim with Phenomden, Omari, Angel Doolas, Natel, Phocas, Prince Levy, and Raging Fyah PHENOMDEN Nah Give up Single / EP / Video PHENOMDEN is an unconventional Reggae singer who was born and raised in Switzerland but is now living in Kingston, Jamaica. While crossing cultures and styles, the title of his new single and video is also the guiding principle behind his eventful travels: NAH GIVE UP. NAH GIVE UP is a powerful motivation song, with lyrics reflecting on the often harsh conditions people in Jamaica have to cope with: ‘I know how to help myself, as long as I got life and health’. The video for PHENOMDEN’s single NAH GIVE UP was produced in Kingston by top Jamaican director Ras Kassa (Shaggy, Damian Marley & Nas, Gentleman, Willie Nelson). NAH GIVE UP versions the MOTIVATION RIDDIM, featuring upcoming Jamaican artists Natel, Omari and Prince Levy, alongside Dancehall singer Angel Doolas and Rasta artist Phocas. The MOTIVATION RIDDIM was recorded in the legendary Tuff Gong Studio with Kingston’s hot roots band Raging Fyah and Scrucialists’ guitarist Luc Montini, and produced by PHENOMDEN and fellow artist Omari. PHENOMDEN can look back on a successful history as an artist in Switzerland. The four albums he released there all contained lyrics in Swiss German and had an appeal that reached far beyond the Reggae massive. His second album ‘Gangdalang’ spent 43 weeks in the top 100 album charts and earned Phenomden a gold record. After 10 years of successfully touring Switzerland and Germany, PHENOMDEN decided to move to Jamaica in 2010. Since then, he has performed on several shows on the island, the Blue Mountain Festival 2014 being a special highlight. All along, PHENOMDEN has attended vocal courses at the Edna Manley School of Music. His debut release in English was GI DI YUTES A CHANCE (2014) for the leading German sound Jugglerz. At the same time, Phenomden’s reputation as a gifted songwriter began to spread when Jamaican singer Sanchez recorded one of his songs, YOU GIVE ME SHELTER.
