Although he and his family are still reeling from the shock of the tragic death of his son Donald Leroy \u201cSmokey\u201d Marson who was shot and killed in Toronto in 2021 Goodnezz (formerly Goodness) is determined to keep moving forward with his music career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not doing music for fame or fortune. You can ask anyone who knows me, and they will tell you that I have been singing for years. I even went to music school, but I never really took it up professionally until Smoky died. He\u2019s the inspiration behind my music career, my son is the reason I am singing. The songs that I am singing right now were inspired by him and I want to use these songs to help make the world a better place. This is my therapy,\u201d said the artiste.<\/p>\n
The Toronto-based reggae singer who originally hails from the parish of Portland is currently promoting his single titled \u2018Everday\u2019<\/em><\/strong> which was released earlier this year. The video for the song was released on November 24.<\/p>\n \u201cI wrote this song to tell youths all over the world to stay away from violence and live a progressive lifestyle. Since we began promoting it, it has garnered a lot of support from DJs in various parts of the world including Canada, Jamaica, Africa, Europe, the US, and the UK. We need to make this world a better place so I\u2019m just playing my part. I am just a messenger,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Goodnezz is gearing up to release a new single titled \u2018Are You Ready Now\u2019<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 which was Co-produced by Grammy Award-winning engineer Nigel Burrell and Carl Otway. This single is scheduled to be released before the end of the month on the Roialtee Production imprint.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the release of my new single it\u2019s a very good production. My vocal delivery, the musical accompaniment, the mixing, and the mastering is excellent. It also has a positive message that I am sure will resonate with people all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n He also revealed that he plans to stage a big charity concert in Jamaica next year.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m going to put on a big give back concert in Jamaica next year.
