Aidonia Upbeat About Reggae Sumfest



Taking a historical glance back at Reggae Sumfest, one might noticed that ace deejay Aidonia had been absent for a number of years.

However the dawning of 2010 has seen a major turning point in his career with several positives, the latest being his addition to this year’s staging of the prestigious festival set to unfold at Catherine Hall, Montego Bay from July 17-24th.

Aidonia who is very upbeat about his inclusion on this year’s roster will grace the stage on Dancehall Night alongside some of the biggest names in the industry and is expected to bring the heat on July 22. Patrons will get an opportunity to see ‘Aidonia – The Performer’ a skill he has been honing for the past couple of years.

Despite several challenges now facing the island the organizers of the festival dubbed the “Greatest Reggae Festival On Earth” are expected this the 18th edition to be a memorable one.

Meanwhile following the festival, the deejay whose real name is Sheldon Lawrence will depart the island for several assignments in Barbados and Trinidad before heading off to Canada in late Summer.
