Another awesome festival lined up in 2014 and with it a line up of great artist. Uprising this year was really something one did look forward to. Though mother nature has her way of short circuiting things the show did go on.

Junior Kelly is a reggae singer known for his commitment to the faith of the Rastafari movement and its Bobo Shanti mansion. This was a message of the hit song Rasta Should Be Deeper, from Soundism and their studio.
Woman in Reggae, well when it comes to a specific sound, distinguished from the rest this is one artist that one can really say has that impact on her audience with a smooth voice, Uprising was the ultimate experience seeing Jah 9.
Torch genuinely has this presence about him, on and off stage, his humble nature carries him way beyond that which he even sees in himself. His music, the lyrics are all such a great ensemble of what this artist represents in this genre of music. Torch's performance at Reggaejam was elevated to another level after having seen him perform in a more intimate space a few months prior to this event. His tantilizing personality and vibrant nature on stage is always something to watch.
R.C. (Righteous Child) a.k.a Ryan Campbell, started off as a shy youth, not exposing and sharing his talent with the world, but in 2002 at the age of 17 he overcame his shyness. Teaming up with Dj Brasco until they took their seperate paths in life. RC then took his own path and started writing his own lyrics and making his won music performing in his community. Initially his name was Righteous Chant but the decision came by a friend who released that R.C. never trod onto the dancehall side of music and never slacked, suggesting Righteous Child which was shortened and are also the initials of his birth names. 2004 came as a year were he spread his wings and made a debut and later again in 2007 and which launched this young musician to new heights. As they say the rest is history.
"Loyal Flames" a.k.a Devar Oliver stennett, another young charasmatic artist where looks can be deceiving...and with him, dynamite comes in a small package.

For Loyal Flames this is where the 22 year old singer/songwriter conscious journey began.
