Jamaican recording artist Jimbolee has launched the new year with significant momentum following the January 23rd release of his latest single “It’s Gonna Be Me” through his independent label Jlee Records. The reggae performer, born Philip Wilmot, has received overwhelming public endorsement for the track, with fans consistently praising its distinctive qualities and chart-topping potential during his public appearances.
The artist’s musical journey began at just eight years old, developing his vocal talents through regular participation in church services—a common foundation for many Jamaican musicians. Demonstrating remarkable versatility, Jimbolee has expanded his artistic repertoire to include Spanish-language performances alongside his native reggae compositions.
The official music video for “It’s Gonna Be Me” has already achieved substantial traction, surpassing 112,000 views across digital platforms. This visual component complements the track’s thematic focus on positivity, which Jimbolee identifies as the central philosophy governing his creative output.
Reflecting on his artistic influences, the musician expressed particular admiration for late reggae icons Garnett Silk and Dennis Brown, noting that he would have welcomed collaboration opportunities with these positive-message advocates. Jimbolee characterizes music as a form of ministry, emphasizing his selective approach to partnerships based on an artist’s commitment to uplifting content and constructive influence on contemporary youth culture. While maintaining these standards, he remains open to working with emerging talents who share his positive artistic vision.
This latest release follows previous projects including the single “I Wish” and the full-length album “Spanish Love,” further establishing Jimbolee’s growing discography within the international reggae landscape.
