Meet Honorebel | International Recording Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Honorebel and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Honorebel, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I Honorebel, chose to pursue a career as an International Recording Artist because of my passion and love for music. I chose to heal the nation and tell my story through my music for many years now.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
It’s apparent that in today’s Mainstream Music Industry, pundits of all shapes and sizes like to put an artist in a box. With all this labeling and defining the musician’s music, it’s often an
industry breakthrough when one finds an artist that’s impossible to categorize. In walks
HonoRebel, a name so fitting for someone who enjoys rebelling against the status quo.
Born Richard Bailey in the ghettos of Kingston, Jamaica, Honorebel is the youngest of six
children who were raised by a single mother. He remembers his childhood as being a rough
uphill struggle, often riddled with street violence and poverty. Amongst all the negative events
that surrounded his early life, it was by fate that Honorebel was heavily exposed to music. In
Honorebel’s own words, “I didn’t find music, music found me.” As his career began to progress,
Honorebel, explains that the Honor comes from his humbleness, while the Rebel is his Fighting Warrior
Spirit. It was this very same spirit that took his musician status to the next level. Honorebel launched
his Musical Career in the late 90s and soon found himself collaborating with Reggae Legends such
as Sly and Robbie, while infusing Hip-Hop Beats with producers like Scott Storch and Tropical
House,World Music and EDM with Benny Benassi, Afro Jack, Nicola Fasano, Rune RK, Robbie
Rivera and Tommy Trash, Dj Snake just to name a few. Honorebel has collaborated with artist such as
the queen of reggae/dancehall Lady Saw, Gyptian, Shaggy, Sean Paul, Pitbull, Sean Kingston, Akon,
Flo Rida, Big Mountain Band, Rick Ross, Wayne Wonder, Snoop Dogg, El Chica, Farina and Willy
Chirino just to name a few. It was inevitable that Honorebel’s music quickly morphed. He
infused various styles to fit his deliverance, ranging from Roots Reggae and Dancehall to techno-pop to
pop-rock, EDM, to Reggaeton. Honorebel began to widen his musical catalog and his audience appeal,
reaching as far as Russia, where he performed live at the Russian MTV Video Music Awards in 2007
with Russia Pop Star, Julia Kova. His song “Now You See It” ft Pitbull was release in 2009 through
Ultra Records/Sony Music and has over 80 million views on youtube and went #1 in 24 different
countries worldwide, peaked #22 on Billboard Hot 100 and #34 on Billboard Hot 200 and sold 2x
platinum. In 2013 he did got together with Pitbull again and did “Seize The Night” which racked up 2
million views on youtube and got super producer Rvssian to do the remix. In the summer of 2015
Honorebel and Pitbull made another classic entitled “Shes My Summer” which went #1 on the Swiss
Dance Charts and steadily held position in the top ten in nine countries worldwide. In 2017 Honorebel
and Farina song “Mari” remix featuring El Pocho and El Micha debut #15 on the Latin Billboard sales
chart. Honorebel songs are place in many motion picture such as Piranha 3D, American Reunion and
television shows such as Californication and HellCats. Honorebel is now working on his 9th studio
album and also promoting his current hit single ‘On Top Of The World” which already proven major
success when the music video premiered on South Florida prominent tv show Deco Drive. Because of
his diverse musical style, Honorebel found himself standing outside the music industry box. Unable to
label him as just a traditional reggae singer, Honorebel was quickly initiated as a cross-over and
international artist. Honorebel explains, “I’m not afraid to experiment with different genre of music.
Reggae Music is my foundation, but I feel my creativity transcends beyond that. You can throw me into
Hip-Hop, Soca, Latin, Dance, Classical, Techno, EDM whatever and I’ll deliver. In Honorebels’ own
words: " “I am forever learning and improving to be the best I can. Education without morals,
music without the message of love, true friends without loyalty is like a ship without a compass, sailing
aimlessly at sea” ".

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
