Prince Icomstan wants to carry on dad’s legacy

International recording artiste Prince Icomstan is determined to follow in the footsteps of his late father, reggae and dancehall pioneer Prince Jazzbo, who passed away in 2013.

"My father is my greatest musical influence. He was one of the early pioneers of reggae and dancehall music. He recorded hits for many producers including Coxsone Dodd, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, and Bunny 'Striker' Lee. He was also a successful producer. I grew up watching him working in the studios with artistes like King Yellowman, Frankie Paul, and countless others. He is one of the true legends of Jamaican music," said Prince Icomstan.

He continued, "My father prepared me for this journey, I grew up in the music business. I did my very first recording at Tuff Gong studio when I was just six years old. Prince Jazzbo raised me to follow in his footsteps and I am going to build on his legacy."

In 2020, Prince Icomstan travelled to Uganda where he recorded and released his debut single, Ekkitiwo.

"I've been travelling to Uganda to record and perform since 2018. My fan base over there is steadily growing, the people over there have shown me a lot of love. I've also done shows in several European countries including Sweden and Germany," he said.

He is currently enjoying a huge buzz with his single Kololo featuring King Bryan. It was done in Uganda and was released late last year on the Ujama label.
