Swiss Reggae Visionary Elijah Salomon to Launch Trailblazing Album "ESSENZ" at Kingston Jerk with Reggae Legends

​KINGSTON, JAMAICA – On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the heart of New Kingston will vibrate with a unique sonic fusion as Swiss singer, songwriter, and producer Elijah Salomon officially launches his sixth studio album, ESSENZ. In a night presented by One Camp Records and Kingston Jerk, Salomon will be joined by a heavyweight lineup of guests, including foundation legend Mike Brooks, soulful siren Sycorah, and the rising consciousness of Truvice.

​A Turning Point in Sound
​ESSENZ (German for "Essence") is more than just an album; it is the culmination of Salomon’s 20-year journey as a bridge between European and Caribbean sounds. While rooted in the deep basslines of Reggae and Dancehall, the ten-track project dares to explore the edges of Afrobeat, Soul, Hip-Hop, and Electronic music.
​"This album marks a turning point," says Salomon. "It’s about stripping away the noise to find the core—the 'Essenz'—of why we create. Bringing this music 'home' to Kingston for the launch is the ultimate validation of that journey."

​An Unmissable Lineup
​The launch event at Kingston Jerk promises an electric atmosphere where international flair meets authentic Jamaican roots:
​Elijah Salomon: Fresh off his European release, Salomon brings his multi-instrumental talent and multilingual delivery to the Kingston stage.
​Mike Brooks: A cornerstone of the Reggae industry since the 70s (Channel One, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry), Brooks brings his legendary soulful tenor to the stage, performing hits and his collaboration "Keep On Rocking" from the new album.

​Sycorah: Representing the "fresh sound" of Kingston 11, Sycorah’s "old soul depth" and mystical stage presence have made her a breakout star. Her long-standing collaboration with Salomon ensures a chemistry that is rare and captivating.
​Truvice: Known as a "Reggae Tastemaker," Truvice will provide a blend of Reggae-Soul and contemporary vibes, showcasing why he is one of the most sought-after new voices in the genre.
