Another Global Music Award for singer Chyna Nicole

Aug 27, 2023

Singer Chyna Nicole’s song Gratitude for Mama, featuring Dean Fraser, was recognised with a Silver Medal – Outstanding Achievement at last month’s virtual staging of the Global Music Awards.

This is the fourth win for the New York-based reggae singer who is of Jamaican parentage.

“A Global Music Award is recognition that your work is revered by colleagues in the field of music and entertainment. The judges are diverse who have also been acknowledged from prestigious awards in the field, so it feels good to know that your work is judged based on the high quality and standards,” said Chyna Nicole in a media release.

The Global Music Awards is a well-known international music competition which celebrates independent musicians and honours participants from around the world. Established in 2011, it has three layers of awardees, namely gold medal winners, Silver medal winners and Bronze medal winners.

Chyna Nicole previously won Global Music awards for the albums Queens in the Arena (2019) and Level of Concern (2020), and for the song Butterflies (2021).

Gratitude for Mama is featured on the rhythm project Love You So Much and was produced by Gary O Sutherland.

She explained the inspiration behind the song.

“I thought to myself, in my catalog of over 80 songs, not one of them is dedicated to my mom – my inspiration and the woman who loves me unconditionally. I thought that it was time. It’s a love song for mothers around the world and I hope that my fans will enjoy this special treat,” said Chyna Nicole.

Chyna Nicole recently shared the stage with reggae artistes Etana and Queen Ifrica at the Kansas City Reggae and Jerk Festival.

“It was truly refreshing to be back on stage. The promoter, Dave Clarke, is doing a fine job making Kansas City a staple for reggae music for the past 30 years. The three-day festival felt like I was on vacation listening to sweet reggae music. The crowd was receptive, and they participated and danced during my set. I had DJ Wishbone on the turntables and Gary Sutherland was also a guest performer during my set,” said Chyna Nicole.

She added, “I made a lot of new fans in Kansas City. It was a good look, and I am looking forward to being on more reggae shows that appreciate my body of work.”

As for new music, Chyna Nicole recently collaborated with Ian Sweetness on a soon to be released song which was produced by Nico Star Music.
