Bling Ras
A love for the art of music is what has kept singjay Bling Ras focused and driven for the last decade and a half.
Early years
Born Marlon Dennis, the 34 year old singjay was raised in Mocho, Clarendon and attended Lennon High School. He has been pursuing music professionally for the past 15 years, a passion which started when he was a member of his church choir. One can say that music is in his genes, as his Uncle Jasper was a singer as well. He was ultimately the driving force that inspired him to become a recording artiste himself. Bling Ras therefore made up his mind to move to Kingston and get the professional assistance he needed to go forward with his career.
Musical Success
Under the tutelage of Reggae artiste Junior Reid, he was able to develop his craft and was indoctrinated into music. To date, some of his releases include 2013 releases Talk My Mind (produced by YVP) and Mi Di Gyal Dem Afta (produced by Z Production). One of his most recent releases is Money Nuff, which was produced by D Beatz Production and released in 2018.
The singjay is currently working on an upcoming EP, which is expected to be released in early 2019 and will also be produced by D Beatz Production. Bling Ras is also working alongside Maroon Republic Records and will be announcing new projects with them soon.
Credited with writing his own lyrics, Bling Ras draws inspiration from topics such as money, girls and culture. His musical influences include Junior Reid, Popcaan and Mercilesss, trailblazers whose impact he hopes to mirror through his own career.
