It has been a long journey for reggae Bahamian artist I-Rate, who has faced a series of hardships, trying to successfully break into the music industry locally, make positive music, make a change, and make money all at the same time.<\/p>\n
This journey started after graduating from high school, though music wasn’t initially something he thought of pursuing as a career.<\/p>\n
Influenced by peers with similar musical interests, I-Rate eventually taught himself how to play the guitar and started writing songs and composing his own music.<\/p>\n
Now that the artist has found his rightful place in music, he has been working on a few projects. Currently he is preparing for the release of his debut album “Soul Music”.
\nHis album is expected to release sometime this month. Music from his upcoming album will be available for download on itunes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
