What are the odds of a world record holder turning into a sensational music producer? Not much, unless it is the legendary Usain Bolt. Following his dream to create music, Bolt released his debut album named ‘Country Yutes’, which got great reviews from the audience. Moreover, it topped the Billboard reggae charts in America while fans loved what he did for the genre.

Now turned into a pro, Bolt is ready to launch yet another album as he talked about his plans for the future. Being a great Olympian is something, but to excel in both fields would be an achievement that surely can’t be matched.

Usain Bolt ready to launch his next album

A man with different interests, Bolt looked upon a soccer career that turned out to be sour. However, after those plans derailed, he talked about producing music, an area that suited his creative interests. After his athletic career, he, along with his best friend Nugent Walker, released a 14 track album that soared up the music charts. Hence, with that success behind him, he wants to achieve more.

“Music is just a part of me. In lockdown I wasn’t doing much so I thought I could take the opportunity to get into music as it is something that I love to do. For me the album we did was just to show people that we were serious. When we started out people thought I was just messing around and bored with nothing to do but I wanted to let them know I was serious,” said Bolt.
