BELMOPAN, BELIZE — May 14, 2025 — After 30 groundbreaking years in the music industry and a legacy that already speaks volumes, Ewing Redmond Samuels III proves yet again that greatness never clocks out. Today, the visionary music producer, songwriter, arranger, engineer, and label executive releases his latest masterpiece: Iconic Belizean Reggae, Vol. I — a soul-deep, roots-heavy, 21-track celebration of Belize, reggae culture, and the sheer power of musical excellence.
Released worldwide via Iconic Music Group, the album serves as a sonic return to Samuels’ birthplace and the musical heartbeat of the Caribbean diaspora. With stunning vocal performances from 21 uniquely talented artists — including Kareem, Fiya Mann, Jahlil Moss, Shamar Charm, Kemari, and more — this project fuses traditional reggae, roots, and dancehall with modern production aesthetics, painting a vibrant picture of both history and forward-thinking evolution.
“This is more than just music — this is heritage amplified,” says Samuels’ publicist. “To see a man with three decades of global music experience still innovating, still raising the bar, and doing so while amplifying the voices of his homeland is not only rare — it’s iconic. There is no one like Ewing R. Samuels III in this business. Period.”
A CREATIVE MILESTONE
Having produced hundreds of records, and ghostwriting gold and platinum records, selling over 100 million albums, over his expansive career — spanning R&B, pop, hip-hop, Latin, rock, and soul — Samuels has never been bound by genre. But with Iconic Belizean Reggae, Vol. I, he reconnects directly with his caribbean roots, revealing a deep emotional and spiritual layer of his artistry. The entire album was produced, arranged, and engineered by Samuels himself — cementing his status not only as a veteran but as a sound architect who is forever at the peak of his powers.
