UNITED States-based reggae singer Mye Laurell is launching her company called Nyte Nurse Pro at Usain Bolt’s Tracks and Records on Constant Spring Road in St Andrew, later tonight.
She told the Jamaica Observer that the company will be geared towards nurturing and inspiring females within the entertainment indusutry. Among the first set of projects will be the Queens of Reggae Honorary Ceremony, during which Mye Laurell said she will honour some of the industry’s unsung heroes.
Slated to be held in Kingston in July, the entertainer said an awards ceremony such as this will help to build confidence and support among the industry’s females.
“The aim of the award is to acknowledge the tireless work that women put into the music over the years. It is very imperative for us as women to honour each other,” she told the Sunday Observer.
Among the females to be honoured are Queen Ifrica, Sharon Tucker, Barbara Blake-Hannah and Sister Nancy.
Proceeds from the Queens of Reggae Honorary Ceremony will go towards the Gregory Isaacs Foundation.
Mye Laurell (real name Laurell Nurse) began singing professionally eight years ago after winning Best Female Singer at the New Jersey Reggae Awards the previous year.
The first song she recorded was Wanting You, which featured deejay Delly Ranx. Since then, she has done songs for Board House Records, OO7 Records, Fleximus Prime, and Ed Robinson.
Love Mi Man Bad, Move, OMG and Be Stronger are among her early songs.
