Music Box #39: Chronixx

Chronixx performed a massive sold-out show at the 10,000-capacity Alexandra Palace in London last week... and still found the energy to swing by for a Music Box session.

The Kingston-born reggae star released his long-awaited debut Chronology last year, which received critical acclaim thanks to its blend of traditional reggae with rap, R&B and pop.

Over the past few years, the 26-year-old has established a huge, devoted fanbase in the UK and has sold out other venues including Brixton Academy – where he played a legendary (albeit overcrowded) show in 2015 – and Somerset House in London.

Along with his band, Chronixx performed three original tracks off his debut record for Music Box: "Likes", "Skankin' Sweet" and "Majesty".

This is probably some of the most fun we've had filming a session – Chronixx and the band are joyous to watch, and they clearly love playing music as much as we do hearing it.

Check out the session (above)!
