In the midst of the current social turmoil, Junior Toots stays positive and focused on his music career and on being the change he wishes to see.

Junior Toots has released five albums called Crown of Fire, Reggae Got Soul, Junior Toots and the Stronghold, A Little Bit of Love and Guidance Star.

Junior Toots has also released many singles such as “Heart of the City” with GRW, “Physically Spiritually”, “His Name” with Akwerius and “Sweet and Dandy”, which was a tribute to his father. The idea to record “Sweet and Dandy” came from Toots Sr. who produced the track for his son which was released on December 8, 2020 to mark the day that would have been the 78th birthday for the recently transitioned Toots Hibbert or “Nyah” as he was called by his family. Other singles include “Green Lights” with GRW “Love The Herbs” and “Love Is The Best”.

This is a prayer for the poor, this is a prayer for the sick. Prayers for the people them living in the sticks.”

It’s what drives the music I write and present to the world,”…… Junior Toots
