EVERY so often, the rebirth of Reggae music converges on the masses like a volt of electricity; it awakens, rejuvenates and inspires real music. In this
period, time-defying sounds are produced and great artists are plateaued to
the world reiterating why Reggae is the father of all genres. Kemar Donaldson
more popularly known as” KRANIUM” is one such artist who has patiently
honed his vocal skill and is now carving out his career in an industry where
the best is never good enough; you have to be great and that is exactly what
he is.
Born August 12, 1990 in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Kranium spent most of his
childhood days immersed in the islands signature music. He was raised on a
staple of rootsy Reggae music, love and a belief that determination and talent
would enable him to achieve beyond the norm. This belief has remained
cognisant and he now focuses everything on his first love; music.
Blessed with vocal talent and the ability to pen lyrics in intricate verse and
catchy hooks, Kranium migrated to Florida, USA in the summer of 2005, to
further his education at Boyd Anderson High School. It was here that he got
his first taste of the studio and this new found addiction consumed him. “I
recorded my first track here, it was a nice song, for some reason it didn’t
kick off as anticipated, but this just gave me more reason to pursue my
dream.” By September 2006 he had moved to New York to attend Jamaica
High School and enrolled into an after-school Performing Arts class. It was
here Kranium distinguished his talent with the coaching assistance of his
tutors and teachers and he began to perform on stage to his peers to
outstanding ovation.
It wasn’t long before the buzz on the streets, intrigued many and he began to
make a name for himself as a gifted vocalist, lyricist and brilliant stage
performer. He began to win countless street battles and was booked to open
for an eclectic mix of stage shows and private parties stateside to include;
Gyptian, Serani, Jadakiss, I-Octane and Tarrus Riley. In 2011 he was
awarded the ‘Artist of the Year’, in Queens, NY for his outstanding
achievement as a newcomer in the music.
2013 is the official launch of Kranium, he has been
working hard to build a catalogue of hard-edged music to
capture hearts and add to his solid fan-base. He is confident
and ready to let the world know the real Kranium. Banging
tracks such as ‘Different Love’, ‘This Morning’ and
‘Nobody Has To Know’ will establish him among his musical
peers. Songs such as ‘Happiest Man Alive’, ‘Love For You’,
‘Another Saturday Night’ ‘Up & Away’ will undoubtedly set
him apart.
His sweet smooth melodic vocals entwine vividly with the
dramatically rich beats custom-produced for him but his
versatility will see him jump on any track and blow it
away. The underground love him and his commercial
viability is ensuring industry agents are keen to see
what more he can offer… 2013 will prove he is just
getting started, there is certainly so much more to come.
Listen out for his official debut EP ‘Happiest Man
Alive’ releasing summer 2013 on iTunes.
