Kabaka Pyramid | Artist Profile
Kabaka Pyramid is a Grammy Award Winning artist fusing elements of Reggae, Hip Hop and Dancehall to create a sound revolutionizing Jamaican music with conscious messages. A key pillar of the Reggae Revival movement, Kabaka Pyramid carved his way into the Jamaican reggae scene with Rebel Music in 2011 with marquee songs like ‘Free From Chains’ and ‘Warrior’ featuring Protoje.
His hip hop roots were evident in the lyrical style and hard-hitting beats, laying the foundation for an ever-ascending career highlighted by the Grammy winning album “The Kalling” produced by role model Damian Marley.
The Kingston native, born Keron Salmon, spent many of his early years developing his sound as a part of Bebble Team,
a talented group of friends and schoolmates that would be the foundation of his independent label Bebble Rock. ‘Rebel
Music’ was the fruit of this preparation and Kabaka’s career as a reggae artist was born. After touring Europe in 2012,
prominent producers would take an interest, and hit songs ‘Mi Alright’ featuring Chronixx and ‘Well Done’ produced
by Damian Marley would follow in 2013 and 2014 respectively. The ‘Accurate’ mixtape by Major Lazer’s Walshy Fire
would see Kabaka collaborate with Raekwon on Be Inspired, and classic ‘Kabaka vs Pyramid’ would become a staple for true Kabaka fans.
After touring with Damian Marley in the US in 2017, Kabaka would team up with the son of Bob Marley for his debut album Kontraband, debuting number 3 in the reggae Billboard chart and number one in several countries on iTunes.
His hit song “Reggae Music” became Kabaka’s first song to pass 10 million views on youtube.
During the covid pandemic Kabaka worked tirelessly and released the ‘Immaculate Mixtape’ with Federation Sound and also produced his first juggling rhythm ‘Victory Rock’ to great success. All this while working continuously with Damian Marley on his second LP The Kalling. Hit singles ‘Red Gold and Green’ featuring Damian Marley, ‘The Kalling’ featuring Stephen Marley, Protoje and Jesse Royal, and ‘Faded Away’ with @Buju Banton would see the 2022 release dominate iTunes charts in many countries many countries culminating in a Grammy award for reggae album of the year amongst many other album of the year awards on publications such as Irie FM, Reggaeville and Riddim magazine.
Live performances for Rolling Stones, BBC radio 1xtra at Maida Vale and Tuff Gong Studios, and featuring on Chase and Status and Lentourloop’s albums are some of the highlights of a stellar career.
