Always inquisitive, and with a taste for adventure, he traveled to the UK to explore the other side of his heritage. Still striving to manifest his musical dreams, Conkarah continued to work with various European producers, notably, Drifta, which brought the powerful song, Run Away, to fruition. England played home to Conkarah’s first meaningful stage experience, performing with live bands and track shows at several top venues. He continued to be encouraged by his emerging success and was enjoying the positive feedback from numerous venues, promoters, and the flocks of new fans.

He eventually decided to return to Jamaica once again to reconnect with the heart and soul of reggae music. He quickly attracted the attention of several successful producers including, Danny Browne and Niko ‘Lifeline’ Browne. The father-son duo produced Conkarah’s deeply moving and captivating reggae love anthem - Forever, which became Conkarah’s official debut single. The partnership with Niko Browne also yielded the big tune, No Barbershop, on the Rockfort Rock riddim. The initial success of both songs led to collaborations with popular female recording artist, Denyque, on a track entitled, Addicted, as well as with international dancehall superstar, Mr. Vegas, on a track entitled, A Little Love.

In 2012, Conkarah performed with a live band on the main stage of Reggae Sumfest 2012 – an event that marked the Festival’s 20th Anniversary and Jamaica’s 50th Anniversary of Independence – alongside international super stars, Damien ‘Junior Gong’ Marley, Chris Martin and Trey Songz.

After creating the wildly popular song, Heavy, a dubstep-reggae fusion with UK producer, David ‘Ezra’ Howells, and with the subsequent release of his highly anticipated EP, “Lovabwoy/Rudebwoy” in the summer of 2013, Conkarah has honed his craft and developed a keen understanding of the complexity and versatility of reggae music. The product of this realization, comes in the form of Conkarah’s new mix tape, ‘Conkarah to the World.’

With the collaboration of producers from all over the world, including, UK, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Mexico, Indonesia, Australia, Austria, and USA - this dynamic mix tape offers longtime fans a refreshed and cultivated sound. Conkarah kicked-off his ‘Conkarah To The World’ Tour in July of 2014. With performances throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and the Pacific, and it was a huge success.

The video went viral and to date it has over 8 million views on YouTube. He has also successfully done covers of other songs on the Billboard charts several of which have had over 1 million views.

Upon returning to Jamaica, Conkarah linked up with Jeremy Harding - heavy weight dancehall producer and former manager of dancehall superstar Sean Paul.
