There are two genres where tweens can get famous despite not being old enough to drive or drink: grime and reggae. So many of today’s hottest grime producers are between the ages of 14-19 (is it any wonder Wiley felt like it was time to retire after a decade in the scene?) and plenty of reggae artists grow up in a household with studio access and are producing hits by the time they are hittin double digits. Many reggae fans remember a toddler Stephen Marley dancing on the side of the stage during Bob Marley concerts, Stephen McGregor has been producing tunes since the age of 5 and being featured in magazines across the globe when he was 15-17 years old. So, it’s clear that genius is recognized and appreciated at any age in these musical cultures. Therefore it should not be much of a surprise when people hear about the up and coming Jamaican sensation known as Javaughn. The 14-year old is also called Javaughn Genius because of his child prodigy talents in reggae music. ([More →])
