MIKEY DANGEROUS

For almost a decade, Montréal reggae artist Mikey Dangerous has been putting his own unique twist on the Canadian dancehall scene. Combining energetic performances with a smooth but dominating vocal flow, Dangerous has long been close to crossing over into mainstream territory. Despite a large and loyal fanbase and a ton of critical acclaim, he’s not quite a household word just yet. But don’t bet against him — this is one hard-working performer. Born and Raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Dangerous has kept up a prolific recording profile, releasing an impressive amount of singles, both digitally and on 45-RPM 7" vinyl. His recordings have also been featured in a number of compilations around the world, from Jamaica to England. In 2008, Dangerous won a Juno Award in the category of Reggae Recording of the Year for his single “Don’t Go Pretending”
