No stranger to the music scene, Jahmiel is at our musical doorstep in 2021 with the single ‘Unbroken’. With a near-death incident experienced in the past year, Jahmiel took some time to get himself together, and with his team, Quantanium Records, they came up with the song ‘Unbroken’.
The Portmore Jamaican produced his first hit “Gain The World” in 2015 to start his official musical journey. The song quickly caught on and gained him recognition for his lyrical style by folks both near and far.
The visuals for ‘Unbroken’ was released on January 15th and has since gained over 200, 000 views on YouTube. In the lyrics, you can hear him professing his victory over forces that tried their best to knock him off his feet. He sings:

Affi protect the energy from bloodsucker who will do anything fi riches cause them love power”.
