Ssense says be mindful of Karma

From Jamaica Observer

EMERGING singjay Ssense feels his latest single Karma will resonate with listeners.

“The song Karma is influenced by personal experiences. How people treat you result in their karma; how you react to them depicts yours,” he told the Jamaica Observer. “Karma is real.”

The single was released yesterday on the Atlanta-based Island Jams Production imprint. The accompanying video was released the day before.

Hailing from Seaview Gardens in Kingston, Ssense (real name Levon Dwyer) emerged on the dancehall scene in 2013. He said he always wanted to be an entertainer and drew inspiration from Bounty Killer and Shabba Ranks, who once resided in his community.

After completing his studies at Kemps Hill High School in Clarendon, the singjay migrated to the Cayman Islands in 2004 in search of employment.

“I worked, but music was never far from my thought,so I began recording there. However, those songs never got the recognition they deserved,” he said. Ssense returned to Jamaica in 2009 and released Hustle Hard a year later.

“That gave me my breakthrough. It got steady rotation and my fan base began building,” he said.

Ssense is optimistic his career is on the right track with his current management team.

“I was on Sting 2015 and was booked for Dusk ‘til Dawn. I also have a gig in Cayman next weekend. The commitment and passion that these people demonstrate just inspire me to be better; they provide a stepping stone for greater achievements,” he said.

His other tracks include Have Things To, Like Crab, Everything Fly, and Life Get Hard.
