Jahmiel thrills German music festival

Jahmiel stamped his mark as he made his debut performance on one of Europe's major summer festivals, SummerJam.

SummerJam Festival takes place annually in Cologne, Germany.

Entering the stage to his hit single Where Were You, the crowd erupted, giving Jahmiel an instant feeling of gratitude and reassurance that he was on the right path.

"The vibe, the energy and the love from the people was so high. The response, from entering the stage to the very end, never dropped and I give thanks to the entire SummerJam team for giving me the opportunity on this great platform to showcase the Great Man,' says Jahmiel.

Backed by Dub Akom band, Jahmiel performed a 45-minute set of songs, including Strongest Soldier and Live Without Limits; every song connected with the audience.

"At one point, as the riddim drop it was a 'forward'. But most importantly I realise the love and appreciation not only for the music, but the culture. Have to give thanks to artistes like Bob Marley, the Wailers, Dennis Brown, Third World, Jimmy Cliff, Black Uhuru and them giants who set the thing so we can come and continue the mission," said Jahmiel.

Closing his set with his breakthrough hit Gain the World, Jahmiel stepped lower into the crowd, igniting the energy of the patrons who began to jump along with him as the band increased tempo.

"That moment is one I will never forget, for such a young artiste to captivate such a large crowd in unison, it was just amazing. You can tell he loves music, he loves performing, he has a great future ahead of him," said Adalgar Schmidt of Switzerland.

Upon Jahmiel's return from his European tour he is off to New York, where he is scheduled to perform at Grace Jerk Fest in Queens, New York, on Sunday, July 22.
