Trinidad’s popular reggae singer Million Voice dies


In less than 60 days incarcerated entertainer Buju Banton will be a free man.
Touch Of Red 6, Montreal’s biggest end-of-season fete will feature “International Stephen” for the first time.
Reggae artiste Kevin “Million Voice” Young died on Friday October 5 around 8 a.m. at the Sangre Grande Hospital. Million Voice’s family and friends sought to raise funds for the ailing musician in 2017 after he had been diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer.
Although he responded well to cancer treatment, the 41-year-old musician passed away from kidney failure due to complications arising from cancer. He was the brother of another well-known local reggae singer, Brendon “I-Sasha” Young.
Million Voice was known for songs such as One Family, his biggest hit, and I Know Jah Done with I-Sasha.
Our reggae community was hurt when Buju Banton was arrested in December 2009, and convicted in February 2011. Thankfully, Buju Banton is now on his final lap to freedom from his 10-year
prison sentence for drug trafficking.
The Jamaican dancehall deejay is presently being housed at the McRae Correctional Facility, a low-security prison, in Georgia, USA.
After his release on December 8, Buju is schedule to perform in Trinidad and Tobago on April 22, 2019, which may be his first live performance.
This has sparked controversy among many who believe his first performance should be in Jamaica.
