Mawhga Lion has high hopes for new single

Having spent over two decades honing his craft in the dancehall, Mawhga Lion is ready to take his place in the musical spotlight.

"I began my journey in the music business from an early age deejaying on sound systems. Back in the day, that's how you developed your skills as a deejay. With this kind of experience under my belt, I am more than ready to take my career all the way to the top of the ladder in the music biz," said the artiste.

The St Mary-born deejay, who lists Papa San, Peter Metro, Bobby Culture and Johny Ringo among his musical influences, is confident that his new single Foreign A No Easy Place will be a success.

"I'm looking forward to releasing my new single because I know the fans are going to love it. It's a good song and it carries a positive message that will resonate with people from all walks of life," said Mawhga Lion.

The single, which was produced by Mawhga Lion, is slated to be released on his Mawhga Lion label on November 20. The hard-working entertainer, who is also a certified electrical technician, is currently busy in the studio working on new projects for his label.

"I'm very serious about my career and I am not easing up because I want to be a top act in dancehall music. This is why I'm spending so much time in the studio making new music for my fans," he said.

Mawhga Lion, given name Bancroft Sutherland, hails from Portland. His previous releases include Tikki Tikki, Weeble, and Don't Shaky featuring Strappa J Di Professa.
