Reggae Sumfest attracts Toni Braxton, Neyo

As the line-up for Reggae Sumfest International Nights rolls out, the big names keep popping up. The latest to be revealed are singers Toni Braxton and Neyo, who join Jazmin Sullivan and Nas as the other international acts.

This was disclosed to media and VIP guests recently at the New York launch of what is considered ‘the world’s greatest showcase of reggae music’.
A six-time Grammy Awards winner, Braxton has sold over forty million records worldwide. Her number-one single, Unbreak My Heart, is the second-biggest selling single by a female singer in Billboard history. Her most recent albums were More Than a Woman under the Arista label, and Libra, her first and only release on Blackground.

Braxton was involved in the 7th season of the reality show Dancing with the Stars.
Ne-Yo, a favourite locally ever since the mega-success of his big song So Sick, has five top ten songs on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artiste and two number-one albums on the Billboard 200.
He broke into the recording industry as a songwriter, penning the hit Let Me Love You for singer Mario.

In 2006, Neyo released his debut album, In My Own Words, which contained the US number one hit So Sick.

The Sumfest launch party featured two 2009 performing stars, Flippa Mafia and Spice.
Sponsors for this year's event include Digicel, Air Jamaica, Jamrock Magazine, Ocean Spray and the Jamaica Tourist Board among others
