Selector and entertainment entrepreneur Fabian “Fyahman” Morris, known as “The Vibes Minister,” is expanding his annual birthday celebration into a four-day entertainment weekend, running September 24–27 across Kingston.

The celebrations kick off with FUEGO on September 24, followed by OPEN HOUSE on September 25, SOAK’D on September 26 and SOUL’D OUT: The 2000s R&B & Slow Jams Experience on September 27, offering a mix of Dancehall, Soca, Hip Hop and R&B.

Two of Dancehall’s hottest names in 2026, Malie Donn and Merkz, are set to headline SOAK’D, the weekend’s flagship event, at UWI Mona’s Rex Nettleford Hall Spine.

Billed as “Kingston’s Largest Water Party,” SOAK’D has grown into a major entertainment platform since its launch in 2023, attracting thousands of patrons and some of Dancehall’s biggest names.

Its September 2025 staging drew approximately 2,500 patrons, with Skeng and Valiant headlining alongside surprise appearances from Kraff and RajahWild. The brand continued its expansion in March 2026 with another staging featuring Skeng, Jamal and Spice.

Now, with Malie Donn and Merkz leading the 2026 birthday edition, Fyahman continues to build on the event’s momentum while transforming his annual celebration into a full entertainment weekend.
