BIOGRAPHY
Protoje is one of the best precursors of new reggae artists’ generation. Well-known for his innovative spirit and his music which mixes reggae, hip-hop, reggae, R&B and soul, he has been a major strength in jamaican music these past years.
From his hit “Who Knows” feat Chronixx in 2014, to his 2nd nomination to the Grammy Awards this year for his album "THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM” (after the nomination for "A MATTER OF TIME" in 2018), PROTOJE has risen to become a true reggae headliner, while continuing to break the barriers between styles et asserting his vision. His last projects had been acclaimed by medias all over the world and beyond reggae networks : Vogue, Billboard, BBC, many French medias.. He continues to perform at legendary festivals such as Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Reading & Leeds, Summerjam, and many more ! He did hundreds of shows in South and North America, Europe, Africa, Asia, openings for LAURYN HILL… CHRONIXX and him are now legends in the UK for having reunited more than 10k people at the “Alexandra Palace”. In 2022 he closed the Summerjam on the main stage with an amazing show. In 2022, PROTOJE released "THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM", his sixth studio album (and 2nd at RCA Record), recorded in his home studio The Habitat, located in Kingston’s hills. This album perfectly ends the trilogy about the notion of time. Each album reflects an emblematic period in PROTOJE’s life, which led to new reflections and visions of the world, a personal and professional introspection, as a man, father and artist. With this opus, PROTOJE kept his reggae roots including all the sounds he learned to love. From all this, resulted a strong album, with famous featurings (JORJA SMITH, LILA IKÉ , JESSE ROYAL, SAMORY I), critically well acclaimed ! He also worked with Jamaican producers, such as Iotosh, Ziah Push and Zion I Kings, and the British Cadenza for the co-production of “Late At Night” feat LILA IKÉ. This generosity and highlighting of feminine artists is proper to In.Digg.Nation Collective, his own artist and record management company created in 2014. With this project, he’s behind some of the brand new Jamaican songs played worldwide ! For 2023, Baco Music planned a legendary evening with the artist for his French fans. Saturday, October, 21 PROTOJE - with his band THE INDIGGNATION - will be live in the mythical hall of the Olympia, in Paris !
