I've been uploading rock and country rock, and get quite a few positive reactions, but as soon as I upload a Reggae song, it's like the crickets are the only thing that can be heard, total silence.
Perhaps someone can enlighten me on the situation.
Describing something as Reggae can really put some people off. Some people perceive it as simplistic and monotonous before they have even listened to much of the genre or understood its history.
My approach to creating Reggae tracks is to avoid anything too basic. I like to go down the Jazz based Reggae route and I am inspired by the Jazz pianist Monty Alexander. I also like to create Reggae versions of well known songs or reinterpret Reggae classics. (Some Reggae tracks I originally posted on iComposition can be found on my SoundCloud page). Whether anyone actually listens to this stuff does not really matter much to me. Reggae is part of my being.
