Ammoye is a unique multidimensional vocalist raised in the tradition of Reggae music. Hailing from Clarendon, Jamaica and now residing in Toronto, Canada, this 7x JUNO Award nominee is at the forefront of the genre domestically and making waves internationally. Ammoye is easily cast as one of Canada’s best Reggae and fusion vocalists, and considered by many music tastemakers as Canadian Reggae’s “Next Big Thing”.
With her star-powered stage presence, Ammoye radiates uplifting messages of love, unity, and social justice. Ammoye's songs speak to themes of compassion, forgiveness, empowerment, and the importance of standing up for what is right.
Ammoye’s sophomore album Water earned her a 2023 JUNO Award nomination for Reggae Recording of the Year as well as Grammy Award consideration. A blend of old-school rocksteady, dancehall and dubstep sprinkled with gospel, soul and R&B, the 13 track LP featured a cast of producers from Canada, Jamaica, the U.S. and Germany. With its release and acclaim began a new era of international appeal and opportunities. In 2024 Ammoye was awarded Female Vocalist of the Year at the Reggae North Music Awards.
Ammoye’s third album The Shift is next on the agenda. A natural follow-up and continuation of the sound she established on Water, The Shift will focus on themes of realignment and harmony during the transformational phases of our lives. It is about finding the light and celebrating the highest truth, harnessing the power both collectively and within. Ammoye has found the new version of herself, and through telling her story, wants her audience to find theirs too. Stay tuned.
Following the success of Water, Ammoye partnered with two booking agencies- DeMerchant Artists Agency (US & Canada) and Pasa Musik (Quebec), and joined the roster at Unique Applause artist management. This led to her busiest touring year yet, with notable performances at COMA Fest Brazil, Mundial Montreal, Rideau Festival Quebec, Mariposa Folk Festival, Reeperbahn, Folk Alliance, Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival, Bout de Monde Festival, AFROFEST Cape Town, Festival d’été de Québec, and many more. These bookings, along with showcases in North America and beyond, hint towards the next phase in Ammoye’s career evolution.
