Born Mortimer Softley in Georgetown, Guyana, Natural Black migrated to Jamaica in 1995, in hopes of realizing his dream of becoming a reggae singer. Now gearing up for his 11th studio album, this dream is realized as the acclaimed singer and songwriter continues his prolific journey in reggae music.
"I'm honored to be part of the esteemed Reggae On The River
music festival," reveals Natural Black. "I've been working hard in the
studio to bring new music to my longtime fans, and look forward to
gaining more with my new singles that I have lined up for the new
album."
Natural Black has been working with New York-based Triple T Production, a management and booking agency that is responsible for the Reggae On The River performance. "We
recognize his caliber of reggae music and once we contacted the
festival organizers, they were interested so we made it happen," discloses Tasz Smith, CEO of Triple T Production. He will be performing alongside other reggae greats such as Tarrus Riley, Morgan Heritage, Julian Marley, Anthony B and Prezident Brown, for the 29th anniversary of Reggae On The River.

He is currently in New York City shooting the music videos for both "Don't Play With My Heart," a romantic ode for the ladies and "Party Truck," a

ABOUT NATURAL BLACK
Conscious
reggae artist Natural Black carved his niche in the genre over a decade
ago, with profound music and prolific lyrics that uplift fans far and
wide. His resilience has been tested and demonstrated over the years,
and he maintains his extraordinary ability to capture the attention of a
massive and diverse array of music lovers, worldwide.
Born
Mortimer Softley in Georgetown, Guyana, Natural Black migrated to
Jamaica in 1995, in hopes of realizing his dream of becoming a reggae
singer. "Coming to Jamaica was natural," he reveals, for he epitomizes
the inherent culture of reggae. "Like life, reggae music inspires and
gives the artist an opportunity to express oneself fully, regardless of
the issues highlighted."
Possessing
a distinctively smooth, mellow voice, Natural Black reafirms his solid
stance on the forefront of the roots and culture movement. His
socially-consious messages and passionate pleas, for wrongs to be made
right and justice for the poor and oppressed, are trademarked in his
songs, and indeed, remain relevant today.
Propelling
to international fame with his breakout hit "Far From Reality" in 2006,
he has amassed 10 full-length albums to date and is back in the studio
working on a slew of new hits for his 11th album. He cultivates his
soulful sounds working alongside the top hitmakers in reggae music,
including Donovan "Don Corleon" Bennett (who produced his smash "Far
From Reality" on the Seasons Riddim), King Jammys, Organic, 5th Element,
Rootsdown, In The Streetz, Lustre Kings, Harmony House, Digital B, Lion
Paw, Big Yard and No Doubt, among others.
Natural
Black's artistic flair and melodious style have garnered him a global
fanbase and keep him very much in demand for shows, at home and
internationally. He has performed on stages across Europe, the United
States and the Caribbean, and has toured extensively, spreading the
sweet sounds reggae to sold-out audiences, from his homeland in Guyana
to Switzerland, Austria, France and Italy. He has headlined the
prestigous Brooklyn Music Festival and Irie Jamboree concerts in New
York, and has also performed on all the major reggae festivals in
Jamaica, such as Sting, Reggae Sumfest, Rebel Salute and East Fest, to
name a few.
Natural
Black charges into 2013 with four new singles - "I'm On My Way,"
"Natural Chronix," "Who Cares For Me" and "Party Truck" - all conscious
reggae anthems that bring the gifted artist full circle back to his
original roots, following a brief stint as a dancehall deejay from 2011
to 2012; he was dissatisfied with his lifestyle and did not feel he was
adequately living as a Rastarafrian should. So, like he preaches through
his music, he has cleaned up his act and now returns to what is true to
him, much to the delight of his fans, and indeed, reggae lovers
everywhere.
