Ghanaian-American singer Moliy is poised to bring her vibrant energy and genre-blending sound to Negril this summer as the featured headliner for the inaugural AfroJam Jamaica, a destination music and cultural festival scheduled for June 26–29.
Moliy, best known for her chart-topping single Shake It To The Max, has carved a space for herself at the intersection of Afrobeats, alté, and pop. Her inclusion in the AfroJam lineup is no accident—it’s a strategic move to launch the festival with undeniable flair.
“Moliy was selected as our inaugural headliner for three key reasons,” said organiser Susannah Salmon. “Her single has broken into global playlists and connects deeply with both Afrobeats and Caribbean audiences. She’s a perfect embodiment of the cross-cultural synergy that defines AfroJam Jamaica.”
Moliy’s music reflects a global outlook, one that speaks to diaspora identity and sonic fluidity. Her effortless blend of Afro rhythms, dreamy melodies, and strong visual storytelling has earned her a dedicated following, both online and on the stage.
“Moliy brings an engaged fanbase, a strong social media presence, and a reputation for dynamic live performances—perfect for launching our festival’s energy,” Salmon added.
AfroJam Jamaica is not your typical music festival. Instead of a standard multi-stage format, the event is designed as a fully immersive cultural weekend, featuring four themed parties: Neon Glow (June 26), Retro Bash (June 27), Brunch Beach Party (June 28), and the Golden Noir Finale (June 29).
Moliy's headlining performance is expected to be a cornerstone of the experience, bringing both celebration and soul to the shores of Negril.
Beyond music, Moliy's presence at AfroJam highlights a larger mission: strengthening cultural ties between Africa and the Caribbean. Her artistry, which moves seamlessly between continents and genres, speaks to a generation redefining Black identity through sound, style, and shared roots.
