If the name Hammond sounds familiar to you - it should. After all, the name itself is synonymous with musical greatness. However, to the young Junyah Hammond, the name means so much more. For Junyah, the name means: pride and guts! Conversely, it also means you don’t take no for an answer. Equally, the name Hammond means class and as Junyah pays tribute to those before him, he holds the name with exemplary regard. That being said, Junyah's soul is filled with pride and honor when he reflects on the track record of excellence set forth by the accomplishments within his family tree. However, like all the other Hammonds who have trail blazed before him, Junyah comes with his own style and a different message and now he is ready to extend the greatness to higher heights. Born in Port Maria, in the parish of the great Chief Tacky (St. Mary), the charismatic Capricorn initially pursued an interest in acting. As a young man, Junyah attended Garvey Maceo Comprehensive High School in Clarendon to where he received a drama scholarship. Junyah's debut album release is comprised of the works of Bullet Proof Productions Danny Maestro, Fi Wi Music Courtney John a.k.a Yogie, Lenn Hammond and potentially Fat Eyes, X-terminator and production from Beres Hammond. Yet the various musical influences in Junyah's life can be felt in his "R&B flow inna a reggae style" delivery. Moreover, Junyah demonstrates that he is far from one-dimensional and he brings a style that can either be "smooth as silk" or "raw as dancehall", all stemming from his love for diverse urban genres which includes but not limited to r&b, reggae, dancehall and lovers rock. If you appreciate what is sexy, rhythmic, melodic poetry you will appreciate the many styles of sexy, raunchy, conservative, explicit and implicit displayed on this album. Junyah is able to navigate obstacles within the industry through his positive attitude and determination. Moreover, by believing that there is "yes" answer for everything, Junyah acknowledges industry obstacles but refuses to take "no" for an answer. "I can be a hard worker and I am my worse critic. Therefore, if I'm not feeling a piece, I don't expect anyone else to respond to it either. For this reason, whatever I create I have to feel and even though the name Hammond opens a few doors, I believe I have a responsibility to maintain the high standard established by the Hammond family tree Hence, I appreciate the fact that people will make comparisons and have expectations because those expectations establishes a bar and plateau - and that means my game has to be tight! " Now, when we talk about Junyah’s lyrical content we talk about feelings, personal relationships (plutonic and romantic), friendships, human victories, daily trials and tribulations and self-worth. Moreover, though the young Hammond is not political, he will definitely speak his mind and diverse beliefs on human issues. However, he also enjoys writing stories about other people’s experiences and situations, which is depicted in his music and his other passion, which is playwriting. Hence, Junyah’s future aspirations recognizes that music can be a door to acting and his eyes are set on feature films. Junyah is currently writing a script, and his ultimate dream is to be affluent, progressive and successful in acting and music. However, paramount is for Junyah to utilize his creative gift to assist others in overcoming the many situations they may face in life.
