Magnum prides itself on staying true to the dancehall culture, unearthing fresh dancehall talents year after year. “We are very culture oriented here at Magnum. Our competitions have always been about exposing talents that are frequently overlooked. We have seen where our talent competitions have taken artistes from the street and catapulted them into the spotlight, placing them on platforms they’ve never been on before” explained Kamal Powell, Regional Marketing Manager, Magnum Tonic Wine.
The July 7th roadshow, commencing at 7pm, will feature performances by Magnum’s newest brand ambassador, Laa Lee. Bishop Escobar will, once more lead as host, with Shukkle Bus and DJ Deva Kidd holding the fort down as the vibe masters.

We are even more grateful for the fact that whoever comes out on top will immediately be given the opportunity to take his career to the next level. It is refreshing to see the support that the Top Performas have received, and even more so, to see the caliber of partnerships we’ve secured that will help to push the artistes out there.”
