For 17 years, Marlon Wright has been a driving force in music production, focusing on artists often labeled as underground. This has never been a concern for him, as these artists align with his vision of creating meaningful music. Wright, an air traffic controller by profession, founded Cyber Leaf Entertainment in 2008. His current projects include collaborations with veteran poet Richie Innocent and emerging singer Jahdeed Rawbawn. Born in Kingston and raised in Westmoreland, Wright co-produced Richie Innocent’s latest track, *The Passover*, and is shaping Jahdeed Rawbawn’s debut EP, set for release in early 2026. Wright emphasizes, ‘We seek artists who bring not just talent but also messages that resonate and uplift communities. At Cyber Leaf, we prioritize substance over fame.’ Over the years, he has worked with roots artists like Iya Ingi and Derajah, and more recently, with Richie Innocent, a New York-based poet with three decades of experience. *The Passover*, released in August, marks their most ambitious collaboration yet. Wright’s mentorship of Jahdeed Rawbawn, a fellow St. Elizabeth native, further underscores his commitment to nurturing talent. Reflecting on his journey, Wright shared, ‘Working with Richie for over a decade and now mentoring Jahdeed reminds me that this work transcends individual success. The real reward lies in inspiring lives and creating legacies that endure.’
