Ammoye Prepares to Make Her Exit!



Canada’s undisputed Reggae songstress prepares to make her ‘exit’ to Serbia’s prestigious Exit Festival!

Spanning July 12th to 15th, Ammoye will perform for her growing Serbian fan base on the Positive Vibrations stage managed by Wenti Wadada.  “Ammoye performed for us last year and had the fans wanting more so we had to bring her back!”

In 2011, Ammoye rocked fans with her hits “Lost Love,” “Still in Love” and “Shooting” establishing the star as the first Canadian to be accepted by Serbians.  Of her first visit Ammoye said “the people are so loving, and really appreciate Reggae music.  Being there is truly a blessing.”  This year, Ammoye will drop “Radio,” and “Addicted” which are the artists two newest singles which have amassed global traction with DJ’s whose fans have requested both songs back to back.

In honor of Ammoye’s home country, Jamaica, and its celebration of 50 years of Independence, Ammoye will perform an excerpt of “Jump for Jamaica” produced by Courtney John and The Wizard honoring the spirit of the country which has touched all countries around the world.

The 2012 installment of the Exit Festival includes performances from Eryka Badu, Duran Duran and Guns n Roses and takes place in the beautiful and magical Petrovaradin fortress in Novi Sad, Serbia. Apart from quality music program that it offers, the festival is a place of wild fun, where music fans enjoy the cool atmosphere of the fortress and the positive energy of the city.
 
Year after year the number of visitors is getting bigger. More than 2 billion people from over 60 countries around the world have visited the festival so far. Young people come from different parts of the country and Europe.

As a part of her experience, Ammoye will be chronicling her experiences with a photo diary which will be posted to her Twitter timeline @AmmoyesMusic!

Look out for the launch of Ammoye’s website this week which will include the trailer for the video “Radio” coming soon!  Remember to connect with Ammoye via Twitter @AmmoyesMusic.

Ammoye is Canada's Female Artist of the Year!


If you had asked Ammoye 2 years ago what her musical life would look like in 2011, she wouldn’t have been able to give you an answer.  Today, she smiles humbly as the news continues to sink in that she is the 2011-2012 Female Artist of the Year.

The honor comes from the recently held Achievement Awards for Reggae music which took place in Toronto on Saturday June 4th, 2011.  “I am so happy,” said Ammoye.  “I’m happy that we were able to achieve this.  We did it as a team so this award is for all of us!”

Winning the award comes as a pre-curser to Ammoye’s busy schedule.  Her latest studio projects which are produced by Danny Maestro, Kemar ‘Flava’ McGregor and Tony Anthony, sees the singer give fans more one drop Reggae.  The artist also has a busy performance schedule as she takes the stage on three of Canada’s most high profile events being Jamaica Day – Toronto, Jambana and the Montreal Reggae Festival.  She also leaves for Serbia’s Exit Festival where she will perform for 150,000 fans over three days.  It doesn’t stop there!

Ammoye will be releasing an EP in September called ‘Bad Gyal’ which is being executive produced by Dubmatix.  The EP will be the prelude to her album which is scheduled to be released in 2012, and builds on the heels of the success of her album ‘Haffi Win’ which was produced by Ottawa’s Rise Ashen for the Balanced Records label.

Ammoye will be one of the featured artists performing at the NXNE event in Toronto at Lula Lounge on June 15th!  Fans can preview / play Ammoye's debut hit single "Lost Love" produced by Courtney John by clicking on the link below!
