PROTOJE + THE INDIGGNATION

JAMAICA

PERFORMANCES

Born in Saint Elizabeth, to singers Lorna Bennett (Breakfast in Bed) and calypso singer Mike Ollivierre, Protoje blends hip hop, soul and jazz into the sounds of his native reggae and dancehall. Over the past twenty years he has released mixtapes, seven studio albums and a host of collaborations with artists such as Jorja Smith, Alicia Keys and Wiz Khalifa. Around 2015, the musical prodigy gained mainstream attention as part of the ‘reggae revival’ movement, known for its addictive melodies and conscious lyrics, with Who Knows ft Chronixx (215 million YouTube views and counting) – an anthem that was heard blaring through every sound system and party in Jamaica. He has performed on shows such as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and NPR’s Tiny Desk, toured to festivals including the Roots Picnic, Coachella and Glastonbury and received two Grammy nominations for Best Reggae Album, for A Matter Of Time (2018) and Third Time’s The Charm (2022).
