Six-year-old Nahbi Reign, daughter of dancehall and reggae artist I-Octane and music video director Sasha "Bling Blang" Roache, has enjoyed a major milestone at a young age, emerging as one of reggae’s youngest producers after earning a production credit on the single “Opportunist,” which has secured nominations at the International Reggae & World Music Awards.

The track, performed by I-Octane alongside Shane O, is nominated for Best Song and Best Music Video at the 2026 staging, placing the young creative among recognized contributors in the industry before even entering primary school.

“When she turned five, I gave her her own label. She loves music, so why not own her own music,” Sasha “Bling Blang” Roache shared proudly.

According to her, Nahbi played a hands-on role during the song’s production, offering input throughout the recording process. “We nuh force her, she’s the focus, not us, despite us being involved in the industry and the environment around her,” she added.

Now, even more motivated, Nahbi is eager to achieve greater milestones. “We missed out on the Grammy, but this is something for her to celebrate in the future,” Sasha said.

When you stop waiting for the right conditions and bring all of yourself into the room. The Open Heart Project does not begin with an answer. It begins with the willingness to stay in the feeling long enough to find out,” she said.

Grammy-award winning artiste #SeanPaul turned his appearance on NBC’s Today Show into a meaningful moment for Lewisville High School in St. Elizabeth, surprising the institution with a donation of musical instruments aimed at rebuilding its programme following Hurricane Melissa.

The gesture forms part of the ongoing work of the Sean Paul Foundation, which has supported over 40 communities with relief efforts, including food packages and essential supplies to help families recover.

“There were several schools in our journey, but what struck me about Lewisville High School was their music programme. Their music room, which was one of the biggest I’ve seen at a school, was completely destroyed in the passing of the hurricane,” Sean Paul said in the interview.

Principal Rosemarie Thompson Collins, who is also appeared on the Today Show, expressed gratitude for the support, sharing, “The plan is to now use music to escape the trauma, and I know our students -.particularly those who are into music - will truly appreciate it.”
