Just last month, Bolt released his reggae album, ‘Country Yutes’ taking the music industry by a storm. Speaking of the same, Bolt detailed how his Jamaican heritage inspired his music.

“Growing up, families would get together at what we called ‘round robins’ – family gatherings held outdoors and at community centers – “and listen to old-school Jamaican music like Beres Hammond and Bunny Wailer. I’ve grown up on old-school reggae since I was eight or nine,” said Bolt.

Bolt further talked about how Jamaican people really love dancing and reggae music was really their favorite vibe.

“Jamaican people are always dancing, so we make specific music for dance: reggae and dancehall. When it comes on, it’s time to dance,” added Bolt.
