Kailash Irie
Kailash is somewhat of a child prodigy. He started out singing cover versions of reggae songs and posting them on social media. Some of the songs that he has covered include Bob Marley’s Forever Loving Jah, Natty Dread, and Positive Vibration; Meditation by the late Vaughn Benjamin; Skylarking by Horace Andy; King in My Empire by Cornell Campbell; and Skankin Sweet by Chronixx.
The youngster explained why he decided to perform covers of reggae songs.
“For as long as I can remember, Jamaican music has been the soundtrack of my life. My family listens to music every night, and a lot of the time, it’s reggae music. My dad knows a ton about music. He always knows the backstory about the artistes and how the songs came about. He talks about what was happening socially and politically at the time. Hearing those stories makes the music come alive, and it makes me feel closer to the artistes. Last year, when I turned eight, my dad and I decided to make our own cover songs of the music we love so much,” said Kailash.
