Breeze Genah Teams Up With Zamunda For New ‘Investment’ Single
How Wow Records artist Breeze Genah believes that his new single, Investment, featuring Zamunda will encourage young people to be more discerning in how they spend their money.
“The matter of investment is an everyday preements for everybody, everybody needs solid investments,” the artist whose real name is Donovan Grant, said.
The single, which appears on the How Wow Records imprint, will be released with visuals in October. Zamunda and Breeze Genah shot the video for Investment earlier this week.
“The reaction has been great so far in the studios and in the streets with Investment, the song connect with the youths,” Breeze Genah said.
The matter of investment is a major concern in black communities. Only 34% of Black American households owned equity investments as compared with 61% of white families, according to Federal Reserve Board’s most recent survey in 2019. The primary way that Americans build wealth and invest is through retirement plans, and there have been enormous racial disparities in that area.
“Jamaicans need to be taught Financial Literacy in school because there is a strong link between financial literacy and financial wellness. Those who are more financially literate are more likely to plan and save for retirement, to have non-retirement savings and to better manage their debt. We need black young people to understand the power of investment,” he said.
Breeze Genah is excited about the direction of his career.
“I am just looking forward to making a major move with my career. I am just pushing, Jamaica can look out, I just need a listening ear to give the people what they want,” he said.
He hails originally from Portland but now resides in St. Ann. He grew up in Hope Bay in Portland where he attended Port Antonio High school where he excelled at football. He dropped out of high school and he got a level 1 and level 2 certificates in Food and Beverage. He did several interviews with hotels on the North Coast but got no calls to land positions in the tourism industry.
Eventually, he was introduced to music where he met up with Deep Jahi and the Third Eye music group two years ago. He worked hard to hone his craft and he is on the verge of a major breakthrough.
Breeze Genah is part of a dancehall movement that includes Pablo YG, Kraff, Deep Jahi, Rhumba, Santos, Budu Chop, and Zhavein that have been making major moves along the North Coast.
“I have upcoming songs such as a single featuring Rhumba, a song released as a message to my son, ‘To Aiden’, and several others,” he said.
