Don G - Nah Give Up [Official Music Video HD] From
The Reggae Ep (You Reap What You Sow)
Don G is currently based in Europe, and is pleased
that his presence is highly appreciated and
accepted there: ‘’I could see the impression and
the reaction from the fans when ever I perform on
any stage here in Europe, because they hear the
good message and positiveness of what I deliver. I
have performed in many different countries such
as Germany, France, Luxembourg and Belgium,
touring with Irie Crew and Crossfire Sound System.”
He performs mainly at club events around Europe
and also at the Ruhr Reggae Summer Festival in
Durtmund, Germany, a major annual festival.
He was also featured with a live interview on Party
Time Radio, one of the biggest radio & tv stations
in Paris.
Don G is a unique Reggae Singer from
Riversdale, St. Catherine, Jamaica. While in
high school, he was given the opportunity to
perfom on stage by ARP (A Raw Perspective).
His talent was recognized and he was
encouraged to join the group, New Faze Krew.
This was a Reggae/RnB Group, which earned
third place in the 2003 TVJ Reggae Trail Talent
Show’s grand finale in St.Thomas, Jamaica.
The group was doing well locally until a few
of the members migrated to attend college.
Don G then took his career to another level by
going solo.
In the ensuing years, he recorded music and
appeared on TV shows such as Smile Jamaica
(TVJ), but it was not until early 2011 when
he recorded the single ‘’What Goes Around”
that he became a known name on the reggae
scene with his songs being played on local
and international radio stations. The music
video for “What Goes Around” remained at
the #2 position for one month, while getting
rave reviews.
Throughout his career, Don G has looked
towards his long list of role model legends
in the reggae and dancehall industry such as
Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Beres Hammond,
Jah Cure, Tarrus Riley and Romain Virgo,
among others, as his source of inspiration.
Don G’s music highlights the day to day
struggles people face and his latest song ‘’We
Need A Change’’ addresses the crime surge
in Jamaica, a wave that periodically affects
Linstead, the once-sleepy market town where
he grew up. ‘’We Need A Change’’ is produced
by Linstead-born Omar “Bobo Omar” Phillips
who operates the One Tree Records label out
of B rooklyn, New York. The song is done on
the Train Line Riddim and can be found on
digital platforms.
Summer 2018, Don G will be performing
at Roots Town Festival staging in
Luxembourg, September 15, 2018 and
other festivals throughout Europe.
