Blvk H3ro, Man On A Mission: What do Adele, Eric Clapton and Muhammad Ali all have in common with Blvk H3ro? All have performed at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London, England.
From rapping on the beach at Billie and Maggie Wilmot’s Jamnesia Surf Camp in 2016 to performing at one of the most elite venues in the world as the opening act for UB40 in 2023, Grammy nominated H3ro’s career ascension has been a long time in the making. On June 02, 2023 he showed the audience of thousands the result of his hard graft, passion and experience. Like the greats before him he proved to the audience why he earned a rightful place on that very same stage.
Invited by the British reggae legends the day before the last date of their sold out 45th Anniversary Tour, this moment in time would be described by his Manager (“social scientist” as dubbed by Jah9) Brian-Paul Welsh as “serendipitous”. Prior to the pandemic there were murmurs that H3ro might be touring with UB40 but the pandemic put paid to that until now.
H3ro made Jamaica proud on June 2, 2023. Confident, energetic and passionate – his performance bore the fruit that his years of experience hard graft would bear.
Look out for his album ‘Man on a Mission (Delicious Vinyl) dropping on August 18, 2023.
