Life Beyond Reggae Music (LBRM) is a book focused on the reggae industry internationally; written by Miss. Heather Dennis of Horsham, Pennsylvania.
The book is based on a host of reggae artists around the world, their
lives beyond the music, struggles, love for the music, how they got to
where they are and much more. LBRM will help the reader to learn more
about reggae music and reggae artists.
The stories are in
article forms and are based on factual written interviews which took
place between the artists, producers, and the writer. Other information
is obtained from the experiences of people who worked or is still
working in the reggae industry and some help from researching the World
Wide Web.
What you can expect from LBRM is a profound and
thoroughly researched reading material which will help you to learn more
about a musical culture and people the world has grown to love.

LBRM is a book written for charity gains and not profit. Any monetary
compensation taken from this book will be for stipend and growth of the
book the rest will be used for helping others through the LBRMUSIC
Foundation.
Miss Dennis will be in Jamaica for one week starting
from the 26th of February and an interview with you or coworkers would
be a great step in the promotion of this book. Her biography and the
cover of the book is attached. Thanks in advance for your speedy reply
and acceptance.
Autobiography
Ms. Heather Dennis was born on the Island of
Jamaica and spent her early years in Duhaney Park, a community in the
capital city of Kingston. Not long after due to family opportunity she
migrated to the United Kingdom where she spent another part of her life
growing up and adapting to a new society which was not hard because of
her young age.
This was not the last move because some years
after her UK movement Heather relocated to the United States where she
obtained citizenship and was able to start over in a new country.
It
soon dawned on her that being a foreigner in a country that was not her
birthplace was going to be difficult; unfortunately, this was because
of the racial differences of which she experienced some negative blows
in various areas.
When she arrived in America, her peers were not
hospitable, which is something that came as a surprise to her, knowing
how multi-cultural Jamaica is and she didn’t face anything compared to
this in the UK either.
Though she experienced challenges with
some being extreme, she resolved to persevere and success was her aim;
no one was going to get in the way of her achieving her dreams. The
challenges made her stronger and within no time, she had graduated from
St.
John’s University with Associates in Education and a
Bachelor’s of Science from Chestnut Hill College. She was ready to bring
her dreams to reality.
Miss. Dennis is a mother of two
beautiful girls, Nicolette and Natalia who are her main reasons for
living and biggest motivation. She was home with baby Natalia when the
idea to write a book came to mind. Life Beyond Reggae Music. This book
she thought, would shed light on Reggae artists worldwide; on their
lives, what they face beyond the music, struggles, love for the music,
how they got to where they are and much more.
Her inspiration to
write this book came after it dawned on her that no one had ever
written a book about reggae artists collectively. She wanted to be the
first to allow fans to get to know their reggae artists better outside
of the normal magazine or newspaper interviews.
This way, you
would be able to have all this enlightening information in a great
package that would not only look good on your coffee table but unlike
magazines and newspapers you wouldn’t throw it out once the date
expired.
Apart from being the author of the book, Heather Dennis
is the head of the charity organization LBRMUSIC Foundation
(www.lbrmusic.org). This foundation is geared towards helping those in
need together with supporting charities that focus on children,
education, health and the elderly. It also focuses on assisting those
countries that nurture and support reggae artists from all over the
world.
Miss. Dennis believes that giving is more important than
receiving; this is a virtue that she has extended to her children by
telling them that the true reward is usually within the giving.
Although many people do not really grasp the importance of this
principle, she lives by it. Her belief in this principle is what
actually led her to start a charity of her own and a book that
highlights the Reggae artists’ cause. Embracing the giving principle has
brought her to the realization that her way of life may be different
from others yet, she believes in what she speaks. She is an ardent
believer in God and the blessings that are rewarded to those who grasp
the principle of giving without expecting anything in return.
There
is a lot to come from this amazing lady so look out for her in the year
2015 and beyond as she makes a mark on the industry doing her part and
fulfilling her purpose
