There are not many Jamaican reggae artists in Luxembourg, but since he moved to the tiny European country five years ago Don G has quietly made a name for himself.
The singer is active on the live scene there as well as in neighboring Belgium where he performed on the August 20-21 Bomboclat Festival.
He is currently promoting "Heart's Desire", his latest song. It is produced by Wizzard House Recordz.
"The reggae scene in Luxembourg is not like in other European countries. Even though you can hear reggae in the cars and in the shops the reggae scene is dormant. Reggae is more popular in Germany, Belgium, France, Holland Sweden, Switzerland and Italy," Don G noted.
He added that radio stations in Luxembourg usually prefer the music of mainstream artists such as Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Shaggy and Sean Paul.
Which makes performing on shows like the Bomboclat Festival even more important for Don G, who is originally from rural St. Catherine parish in Jamaica.
His appearance on the two-day gig was organized by OneTree Records, the New York-based company that has produced and released most of his songs since he kicked off his recording career just over 10 years ago.
OneTree Records also produced "Reap What You Sow", Don G's sole EP which was released in 2016.
