Kabaka Pyramid

Born Keron Salmon, the Kingston native adapted his moniker from the Ugandan word for "King" (Kabaka), while referencing the spiritual power of the pyramids.

Already a rising star at home, his 2013 full-length, Lead the Way, reached well beyond the Caribbean, earning him a Juno Award in Canada and a widespread fan base.
