Warm congratulations to SOJA who took home the Best Reggae Album Grammy Award last night for the band’s incredible album, Beauty In The Silence. SOJA’s impact on the reggae music genre is huge, and the band continues to create beautiful music. Beauty In The Silence is an outstanding album, and if you haven’t listened to it from start to finish, we recommend you do it soon!

What sets reggae apart from other musical genres is its deep sense of community embodied by both fans and artists alike. Instead of being fueled by competition, the extended reggae family wants to see one another succeed and become their best selves. Attend a reggae concert and you will find smiling faces and open arms from fellow fans. As a reggae artist one is more likely to find success by helping and collaborating with other artists than trying to outdo them. This methodology of positivity and collaboration is what brought renowned American reggae band SOJA together, and is entirely evident in their new album "Beauty In The Silence".

We have been huge fans of SOJA for many years and whenever the band, stemming from Washington D.C., releases new music we jump at the chance to listen and take it all in. SOJA has been releasing new music all summer leading up to the band’s new album, Beauty In The Silence, which will be released September 24th via ATO Records. The band’s latest single, Reason To Live, is a beautiful song featuring Dirty Heads and Nanpa Básico with an important message about open-hearted perseverance.
