Skippa in int’l spotlight

When the Jamaica Observer named Skippa one of its artistes to watch at the start of 2026, the prediction came with the expectation that the young dancehall artiste’s momentum was worth keeping an eye on. What has followed, however, stretches well beyond even his own expectations.

There was the touring, the growing audiences, the songs steadily finding new listeners, and, perhaps most significantly, recognition from one of the music industry’s most established brands — Billboard.

Still, as the artiste himself revealed, 2026 has so far surpassed his wildest imagination.
