Rad Dixon reaps success with ‘Times Are Hard’

Reggae singer Rad Dixon is currently enjoying immense success with his single Times Are Hard, which was done with reggae legend Luciano.

The song, which is one of the featured tracks on his debut album Hard Times, is, at the time of writing, sitting in the number one spot on the Jamaica Music Countdown Top 25 Reggae Singles chart.

"A number one single is a wonderful achievement. I am profoundly grateful to all my fans and all the other individuals who support my music. No real success can be earned without hard work and dedication. So, I must big up Tasjay Productions and the entire team for all the hard work they continue to put into the development of my career," said Dixon.

He released Hard Times, which was produced by Toronto-based Tasjay Productions. Since then, several songs from the 10-track album, including Right Portion, which was done with Talee, Mama's Love and Reggae Vibes have found favour with DJs in Jamaica, Europe, Canada, the UK and Africa.

"I'm very happy with the response that my album is getting. The fans love it and it's also receiving a lot of support from DJs in various parts of the world," he said.

Dixon said the response is proof that good reggae music is still appreciated all over the world.

"Over the past few years, I've heard a lot of people saying that reggae music is dying out, but that's nonsense. Good reggae music is still appreciated by music lovers all over the world; my album is proof of that," said Dixon.

The Manchester-born singer is currently in the studio working on new projects for Tasjay Productions. He's also preparing to hit the road for a series of shows later this year.
