Cleva Criss promotes good values through music

Cognisant of the way different musical elements are used to stimulate the human mind and body, recording artiste and producer Cleva Criss is on a mission to change lives with his music.

"I became an artiste because I have long admired the way that musicians and artistes use their talent to create music that stimulates the people's emotions. Music is a very powerful force, and I believe it should be used positively to stimulate people," said the artiste.

He added, "I can't tell other artistes how to make their music, but I am committed to making music that is entertaining and uplifting. I make music that promotes self-awareness and good values because there's a need for the restoration of morals and discipline in our society. We have enough songs about chapping, guns and sex. It's time to vibrate at a higher level."

The deejay is currently promoting a thought-provoking single titled Memories. The song, which he produced, was released on February 28 on his Clevamix Recordz imprint.

"This song carries a positive message that everyone can relate to; we all experience moments of deep reflection on this journey called life. This kind of deep reflection, practised in the right way, promotes self-awareness and growth in human beings," he said.

Cleva Criss is also working on several new projects for himself and other artistes.

"As you can imagine, owning and operating a recording studio keeps me busy. I'm always making music for other artistes or myself. I am currently working on an album with Grampa Entatain for TADS Records. I'm also working on some new singles for myself that I plan to release throughout the year," he said.

Cleva Criss, given name Christopher Gallimore, hails from Duncans, Trelawny. He made his recording debut in 2017 when he was featured on a song titled This Journey which was recorded by Caution X, who now goes by the stage name Kaxxtion X.
