Progress’s music is a reflection of his life experiences and deep faith. Born in Barbados, he was influenced by reggae’s positive messages and pulsating basslines from an early age. After moving to Canada in his late teens, he quickly rose to prominence, becoming a finalist in the Canadian Reggae Star competition. His debut LP, Making Progress, featured the hit single “Sunshine,” which gained widespread attention, with heavy rotation on MuchMusic, Tempo, and MTV Africa.
His breakout album saw four songs charting on the CHRY 105.5 Rebel Vibez Top 10, and his steady stream of singles has kept him in the spotlight ever since. Progress has been featured in documentaries like Soldiers of The Street and Over Stand Kings, and his music appeared in the TV series Kink In My Hair. He’s toured the U.S., Canada, Costa Rica, the Caribbean, and Ghana, sharing the stage with artists like Erykah Badu, Beres Hammond, and Maxi Priest.
Progress’s live shows are as energetic as they are meaningful, honed through years of experience. In 2024, he’ll release Mood & Vibe, a double album with 14 tracks (seven per album), including a collaboration with reggae legend Peter Morgan of Morgan Heritage. This album will showcase Progress’s evolving sound and further solidify his place in the global reggae scene.
Progress has always strived to promote not only himself but the talented artists that surround him. This led to him starting the Roast Breadfruit Sessions, a biweekly session that was located in a secret location only accessible to top tier conscious reggae musicians in the city. Out of these sessions a network was born, which lead to the monthly Freedom Fridays showcase
