Skygrass primes 2026 with new album, Kingston live push

Skygrass is gearing up to make 2026 a louder year for roots vibe and community connection. After releasing an album in October 2025, the Jamaican recording artist and producer plans to step up releases, schedule more live dates in Kingston, and broaden his public profile through a reality-style docuseries set for streaming on major platforms.

The artist’s trajectory leans on a long-term belief that reggae is a unifying, message-driven art form. Musically he continues to weave traditional Jamaican rhythms with contemporary production, keeping conscious themes of unity and oneness at the center of new material. That blend has marked his recent output and informs the live sets he intends to stage in the capital. Skygrass previously ran a live series called Cosmic Rotation, and he signals that community-facing events will remain a core part of his project in 2026.

Beyond studio work and local shows, Skygrass and his fiancée filmed a reality-style docuseries with U.S. network We The Studios. Planned distribution includes streaming platforms such as Apple TV and Roku. The series is described as mixing romance, humour, and everyday Jamaican cultural scenes, offering fans a closer look at life behind the music and island culture beyond the stage. For the Kingston scene, wider streaming exposure could mean new audiences discovering local selectors, bands, and sound-system culture.

For local venues, promoters, and fellow artists, the practical implications are immediate: expect more booking opportunities and potential collaborations as Skygrass increases live activity. His focus on community-facing projects suggests a foregrounding of grassroots shows, collaborative nights, and spaces that highlight upcoming talent. Kingston audiences should watch for announcements about dates and lineups as the artist rebuilds a live cadence following the album release.

Skygrass’s push also matters for the broader reggae conversation. By packaging roots-minded music with contemporary reach and a filmed personal narrative, he is positioning reggae as both a local lifeblood and an exportable cultural story. That approach can help shore up revenue streams for live acts, create sync opportunities for Jamaican sounds in visual media, and bring more attention to the island’s cultural practitioners.

Expect a steady rollout through 2026: new singles and collaborations, a renewed live schedule in Kingston anchored by community ties, and the docuseries rollout on streaming platforms that could introduce Skygrass’s one-ness message to global viewers.
