Weeks after winning gold and taking out the Band of Year award at the 2023 International Singer Songwriters Association (ISSA) annual ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, PNG music sensation Anslom’s dreams are certainly growing with more opportunities coming.
Papua New Guinea’s International talent has been busy working on recording a ten-track album with the late Bob Marley’s band, The Wailers.
The Wailers have sent music beds of the ten tracks and Anslom has begun recording vocals with Emmanuel ‘Toxicmhan’ Muganaua’s Panakatsu Studio in Port Moresby and Cool Jamm’ Entertainment in Rabaul.
“The invitation by The Wailers after the ISSA Awards to collaborate with on an album is overwhelming.”
“I thank God for this opportunity. For me, it’s my childhood dream to be successful in my music career, becoming a reality.”
“No one believed in me, and I worked hard and so it is an absolute honour to work with The Wailers.”
Anslom grew up listening to reggae greats like the late Lucky Dube and the late Bob Marley which he was motivated by how they used the music platform to deliver positive messages of hope and inspiration to the world.
He is backed by a promotional team in the USA through his record label, Big Records.
“Hooking up with The Wailers has been made possible by a great supporting network in Paul Linney of Big Records, my management Bassline and The Wailers booking agent, Don Hines.”
“I am grateful for this golden opportunity.”
The Wailers band is an iconic reggae band recognized all over the world and has certainly been a huge opportunity and an exposure for Anslom.
