G-Whizz Sizzles With 'Night or Day'

After returning from a charity concert staged in Barbados late last month, in remembrance of the six persons who were tragically killed in an arson attack, artiste, G-Whizz has released a video for his single, Night or Day.

"The video for Night or Day should have been done before I left Jamaica, but I felt going to Barbados to motivate people whose friends and family died, through my music was something that was more important. This new track is also about life and staying on the right path and keeping a close eye on your enemies. That's just how life is, so these are the things I sing about," said G-Whizz, whose correct name is Garland Rowe.

Night or Day which was produced by artiste/producer Seanizzle, is bound to follow a similar course to that of its predecessor, Life and hit the top of local and overseas charts. "That's what I'm working toward, and fans can look out for more new music, both inspirational and those with a party vibe from me," said G-Whizz.
