Protoje—born in 1981 in Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica, and raised in Kingston—is a singer, songwriter, producer, and visionary bandleader all in one. As the son of legendary Jamaican singer Lorna Bennett, he was born with musical talent. But instead of resting on his laurels, he has long since created his own genre-spanning sound and is regarded worldwide as a leader and pioneer of the modern “reggae revival” movement.

Protoje achieved his international breakthrough following early successes like the single “Arguments” with the albums “Ancient Future” (2015) and the Grammy-nominated masterpiece “A Matter Of Time” (2018). His landmark album “In Search Of Lost Time” (2020) featured the global hit “Same So,” which generated well over 50 million streams across all platforms. In 2022, he followed up with “Third Time’s The Charm” and promptly secured his next Grammy nomination in the “Best Reggae Album” category. With his latest studio album, “The Art Of Acceptance,” he impressively solidifies his status as one of the most important reggae artists of his generation.

Alongside his solo successes, Protoje has established himself as a sought-after collaborator for artists such as Chronixx, Koffee, and Popcaan. His sound even made its way onto former U.S. President Barack Obama’s famous summer playlist.

For this exclusive Berlin concert, Protoje is bringing his top-notch band, The Indiggnation. Here, the rebellious attitude of hip-hop blends seamlessly with classic roots riddims and virtuoso, improvised band passages.
