BRAMMA Tours Europe
Not many people will understand how difficult it is for a young artiste to book his own tour. Touring helps to build the artiste’s repertoire and further encourage live performances. Dancehall artiste Bramma has accomplished this feat at this early stage of his career. The artiste kicked off the first leg of his tour last Thursday December 10th in Rotterdam/Netherlands at Bootleg Café. The club which houses over 250 patrons was full to capacity, Promoter Jan Haze states, “it is a small club but nice vibez and the crowd really appreciated and endorsed Bramma’s performance, the show was supported by local sounds and a local artist called lyrical’. On Friday December 11th they were off to Paris, for another show, “Bramma draw a wicked crowd, of approximately 600 people or more” said Jan Haze “while local artiste Lyrical, Sensi Movement and 97 Connection Sounds were the support for the night”. Bramma spent the next 2 days doing radio interviews and dub sessions in Paris. On Monday, December 14th Bramma was back in studios to cut dubs in Rotterdam and on Tuesday, he moved on to Amsterdam for another show on DJ Waxfiend`s famous dance in the Brazil Bar complimented by 2 other radio interviews. From Amsterdam, the 21 year old artiste travelled to Germany where he performed at Leipzig, Berlin and Hamburg. In Hamburg, Bramma is expected to perform at a party with Stonelove and sum local sounds. Bramma has come a far way since his 5 years entry into the business under the management of Sophia McKay of New Image Promotions. Three years in his career his name became a brand in many towns and cities throughout Europe but he was still unknown in Jamaica. Bramma and Sophia McKay worked hard at getting a buzz in Jamaica and it happened then it was time to get his visa which he did and now Bramma, the only Dancehall Bomma is on tour in Europe and doing well on his own….bomb dem up!!!!!
