During his prime, Usain Bolt clocked some of the most challenging times in sprinting history. He still holds the records for a majority of them, including the fastest times for the 100m and 200m events.

These feats justify his ‘fastest man alive’ title. However, the sprinter has retired from the sport since. Now, the track’s fastest athlete is spending his retirement growing his business, playing soccer, and making music.

Usain Bolt aspires to make it big in the music industry

Recently, Bolt participated in the British annual charity tournament, Soccer Aid, to raise funds for UNICEF UK. The Jamaican sprinter faced English singer-songwriter Tom Grennan on the opposing team at the event. Although the two players were rivals during the match, they hit it off while training for the match. The two celebrities bonded instantly, partly due to their passion for music.

Following the event, Bolt announced his plans to release an album in collaboration with the pop star. If the project comes to fruition, it will mark the sprinter’s third music album release in three years.

It is quite the achievement for the sprinting legend. And this project will contribute toward bringing him closer to becoming a sensation in the music industry. Therefore, Bolt has asked for Grennan’s to help fulfill his dream. Bolt hopes to draw from the top of the charts pop artist’s expertise in the industry to help manifest his dreams into reality.

Speaking about his newfound plans in music following the charity event, Bolt said, “We are still working on our rhyme right now. Next year we will do an album.”

Furthermore, the athlete also expressed his disappointment over people’s reception of his previously-released music albums and singles during the session. The Olympian added, “We are still trying to get my name out there for music as ­people still don’t take it that seriously. Then I’ll try to put out another album.”

Moreover, Grennan too, has shown interest in the project and assured his involvement in the album. The musician said, “Usain is a producer. I am a singer. When he is doing his album I am flying to Jamaica 100 per cent.”

Music previously released by the Lightning Bolt

This is not the first time people are hearing about Lightning Bolt’s keen interest in music. He released his first music video, ‘Faster Than Lightning,’ before the London Olympics. The soundtrack featured an auto-tuned speech by the sprinter over a beat by DJ Steve Porter.

It was Bolt’s first but not sole involvement with the music industry. The eight-time Olympic gold medalist released three mixtapes, including Usain Bolt Presents: Olympe Rosé Riddim in 2019, followed by Country Yutes in 2021.
