Biography:
Born Jamar Rolando McNaughton on October 10, 1992 in Jamaica's second largest city Spanish Town, Chronixx was musically nurtured from an early age by his father, dancehall artist Chronicle, and grew up surrounded by the likes of Burro Banton and Gregory Isaacs. Chronixx's youthful voice carries the wisdom of generations of reggae singers before his time and holds a positive message for the youth of this generation.
The Grammy nominated singer songwriter and producer has been described as a “legend” (by the likes of Noisey and GQ) and “The future of reggae” (by The Sunday Times) who is “putting Rastafarianism back into Reggae” (The Guardian). Having organically built a devoted fan-base and turned industry heads as one of Jamaica’s fastest, most-promising talents to represent the iconic island to a global audience, Chronixx’s own take on the roots sound has been lauded as the jump off point for a “musical revolution”.
Fans of Chronixx include Usain Bolt (whose Tracks & Records restaurant housed Chronixx’s first live show), Major Lazer (who curated and released Chronixx's first mixtape), Jimmy Fallon (who booked him to play on his Tonight show off the back of his debut EP release), Rudimental (who featured on his Grammy nominated debut album, ‘Chronology’), Nas and Ms Lauren Hill (who toured with him last Autumn), Mick Jagger (who celebrated his birthday side of stage at Chornixx’s 2018 Summerstage Central Park show ), U2 (who invited him to perform with them at a charity concert in New York in 2017), and adidas (who recruited him as the face of their Originals Spezial Line).
Chronixx headlined Alexandra Palace, London on 11th November 2018 with Protoje & The Indiggnation supporting. The sold out show followed Chronixx’s word-wide 2017 Chronology Tour, which saw Chronixx perform to a combined audience of over half a million.
