1. Heather Dennis is dedicated to helping those
in need and has found a way to combine this
desire to help others with her love of music.
Heather wants to pay homage to her culture
and in doing so, provide a platform to several
artists who are striving to make a name for
themselves in the genre of reggae music.
The book is paired with a skillfully mixed compilation CD containing songs from the immensely talented
artists featured in the book. Many of these reggae artists have faced challenges growing up and many
continue to encounter and overcome difficulties today. This book has also been released to create an
avenue to introduce a group of individuals pursing their passion for reggae music with the goal of helping
them gain even greater audiences. These artists open up to share deeply personal details about their history
and their experiences beyond the music that allow readers to relate and connect in unexpected ways.

2. Heather has written this book in an effort to showcase her Jamaican
heritage and culture. Reggae music has the ability to inspire people;
bring people together; and move people with undeniable rhythms and
has spread around the world from its native Jamaica. This is reflected
in the diverse collection of artists found in Life Beyond Reggae Music.
