Coming off her recent Grammy winning high, Jamaica’s eloquent songstress Koffee, continues on full steam ahead. Her hit single Toast has hit mainstream America through her collaboration with Life Water (LIFEWTR) in the form of a TV commercial.   Watch it below.

The commercial is definitely another big boost to her career as its being showed on televisions across the nation.

Her crisp vocals can be heard throughout the commercial and will surely enhance her upward trajectory in Dancehall as LIFEWTR is a premium bottled-water brand made by PepsiCo Inc’s, with sales that are expected to reach US$23.9 billion by 2022.

According to LIFEWTR’s website: “We feature the captivating work of some of the boldest and most transformative artistes of today … . That’s why every few months we launch a new series of LIFEWTR bottled water focused on a unique aspect in art – putting the spotlight on three new emerging artistes.”

They offer different unique pieces of art on each new series bottle of water. They fall into eight series so far.

Koffee is now among the elite from Jamaican dancehall to have broken into the US TV commercial market. Other greats who have done it are Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Busy Signal, Sean Paul, Shaggy and Shabba to name a few.

Koffee has been making a steady breakthrough into the US market, making several cameos in the lead up to her Grammy win and after it as well. She joined the cast of MTV’s Wild N’ Out in February and was a hit. She’s also expected to perform at Coachella later this year, which was postponed to Friday, 9 October and ends on Sunday, 18 October.
