Chronixx returns to the USA.

In addition to gearing up for the release of his debut album Chronology (due early 2017), Chronixx has announced he will be embarking on a massive North American tour in 2017.

The Jamaican musician makes his long-awaited return to North America in Spring 2017 and the Chronology Tour will be his biggest North American tour to date.

Chronixx & Zincfence Redemption Band kick off the tour on March 2 in Connecticut before heading to cities like LA, Chicago, Houston, Montreal and Toronto on a 38-date tour across USA and Canada, concluding on April 30 in New York.

In the past 12 months, Chronixx has continued his ascent, releasing the highly-praised Roots and Chalice mixtape and has toured Africa, Japan, Europe and the west coast of America. Aside from his headline shows, he entertained audiences at Coachella (USA), Lovebox (UK), One Love (Italy) festivals and was requested to support iconic Manchester rock band Stone Roses at the first of five sold-out nights in Manchester City Football Club’s Etihad Stadium alongside hip hop legends Public Enemy.

Chronixx Biography

Jamaican musician Chronixx has ignited a torch in people’s hearts the world over and is confidently lighting the path for an entire generation of youths to rediscover roots and culture.

Born Jamar Rolando McNaughton on October 10, 1992, Chronixx was musically nurtured from an early age by his father, dancehall artist Chronicle, and grew up surrounded by the likes of Burro Banton and Gregory Isaacs. His remarkable ascension in the music industry began in the background; harmonizing for artists such as Lutan Fyah and providing production assistance for tracks sung by Popcaan, Konshens and others.

Today, Chronixx is a respected artist in his own right after his career was stimulated by the unfortunate passing of both his blood brother in 2007 and his brother-in-arms, Lil’ J.O.E., in 2010. The first EP, Hooked on Chronixx, was released in 2011 and immediately put the budding artist on the radar of music lovers and industry heads alike with ‘Start A Fyah,’ ‘Warrior’ and breakout single ‘Behind Curtain’ standing out as a fan favorites far beyond Jamaican shores.

The Dread & Terrible Project was released in April 2014 – a set comprised of seven tracks plus three dub versions – immediately topping the Billboard (US) and iTunes reggae charts in both UK and Japan. Neither an album nor an EP, the Project includes the widely received ‘Capture Land’ and a short film based on one of its tracks, ‘Rastaman Wheel Out’ (directed by Ras Kassa), to critical acclaim.

Hit single ‘Here Comes Trouble’ captured late night American TV presenter Jimmy Fallon’s attention while on vacation in Jamaica. The chance encounter lead to a personal request for the young musician to perform live on Fallon’s TV show in July 2014. A concert held in Central Park the following week was a roadblock affair from the outset, thousands of attendees turned out including Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger celebrating his 71st birthday.

Chronixx toured for the first time in 2013 when he went to Europe with his own band Zincfence Redemption. He has embarked on solo tours from the Americas to the Oceanic region; including sold out shows in New York (Irving Plaza), three shows in London (including Somerset House), Trinidad & Tobago, Australia, Canada, Japan and being the first band to do a two-part tour of Jamaica (Capture Land Tour).

2016 saw him play to thousands across east Africa and Japan for the first time plus a highlypraised support slot at the opening night of the Stone Roses’ 5-nights at Manchester City FC’s Etihad stadium. ‘Who Knows’ the collaboration with Protoje soared to new heights in the UK courtesy of a remix by famed-drum & bass producer. New solo music came in form of the acclaimed Roots & Chalice mixtape with Brooklyn’s Federation Sound.

With so much accomplished in such short time, the world is bracing for greater wonders from this young man who walks with an old soul. For Chronixx himself, music is a mission and history is being made everyday still.

“Prepare your minds and hearts for this revolution.”
