Up-and-coming dancehall-reggae talent Juntyle is using his music to shine a light on one of society's darkest issues -- domestic abuse.
His latest release, Dangerous Lies, is a heartfelt dedication to women who have suffered at the hands of abusive partners.
Speaking with THE STAR earlier this week, Juntyle explained that the single was inspired by a conversation between fellow artiste Khago and his manager, Feel Good Boss.
"This song is for the females who are going through any form of abuse whether it is physical, emotional or sexual," the entertainer said.
"I want to be an advocate for all the females who are abuse victims as we see this a lot on social media and in the news.
"Too many women are being killed by men who are not willing to let go. I want the men to realise when a relationship is over to just leave the females alone, don't end it in violence. Weak men abuse women and this is a fact. I just want the men dem to listen to this track and learn ya man," he said.
The track, released a few weeks ago, was produced by Long Chain Globa, Juna Vile Records, and Feel Good Boss Music, featured on Khago's 2 Time Riddim.
Juntyle describes the project as a turning point in his career.
"This is my first reggae single and so far it has surpassed my expectations. It is doing really well and I am grateful," he shared.
Born Andrew Green, Juntyle grew up in Kencot, St Andrew, and first discovered his musical talent while attending Calabar High School. Back then, he and his friends would create rhythms by knocking on desks and trading freestyle verses. What began as casual fun soon developed into a serious love for the craft.
"Music just isn't a message but also a feeling. I am driven by emotion, often shaped by deep personal experiences including the loss of two of my family members during my teenage years. These were life-changing moments for me and it pushed me to be my own source of motivation and gave me a deeper purpose as an artiste," he said.
