Musical strider Colin 'Iley Dread' Levy is in the island promoting his new single Lover's Holiday.
He will be performing at Bourbon Beach Negril today and will be backed by the Kings of Kings Family Band.
When last he was in the island, he performed at GT Taylor's Christmas Extravaganza and Sea Wind Resorts on New Year's Eve. This will be the first performance since his recently confirmed upcoming North American tour.
From his upcoming album titled Unleashed, his single Lovers Holiday has been getting serious rotation in the island on Irie FM, Hot102, Fame FM, FIWICHOICE, HYPETV and RETV, along with international airplay.
Iley Dread has also completed a book titled Zion Road, Trials and Triumph.
The singer is optimistic about favourable responses to the book, which covers not just his life, but Jamaica's growth, the economy, a political overview, philosophy and social conditions.
Levy's management team is currently negotiating with interested publishers but the book can still be bought in local and international book stores. There is also expected to be a book tour in the fall of next year. More details can be found at www.colinlevy.ca and kayliaw@gmail.com
