Jamaican dancehall sensation I-Octane has declared 2025 an exceptionally prosperous year for his musical career, marked by unprecedented commercial achievements and significant philanthropic initiatives. In an exclusive dialogue with the Jamaica Observer, the artist born Byomie Muir revealed that his latest album ‘God & I’ has shattered personal records by claiming the #1 position on iTunes charts an astonishing 19 times since its April 25th release.
The breakthrough album has demonstrated remarkable performance across streaming platforms, with standout tracks including ‘Opportunist’ featuring Shane-O and the currently promoted single ‘Walk With A Chip’. The entertainer attributes his sustained industry relevance to authentic artistry and concentrated focus, stating: ‘My presence is immediately felt when I enter any space because I maintain genuine artistic identity while appreciating fellow contributors to reggae and dancehall.’
Beyond musical accomplishments, I-Octane is establishing formal humanitarian frameworks through an upcoming foundation dedicated to continuous global outreach. Having already provided hurricane relief support in his family’s native St. Elizabeth, the artist plans to systematize charitable efforts through documented, year-round philanthropy regardless of disaster circumstances.
The artist will next perform at the Jamaica Strong Benefit Concert on December 12th at New York’s UBS Arena. Concluding with seasonal greetings, I-Octane extended gratitude to his international fanbase for their enduring support throughout his artistic journey.
