Interview: Copeland Forbes
Manager, tour director and more..... "Jamaica's most prolific global tour manager, artist manager and reggae historian Copeland Forbes has single handedly put Jamaica on more maps internationally than most Jamaican dignitaries have done since the country gained independence from Britain in 1962. This renders Forbes, to be amongst some of the most powerful and esteemed stature in the reggae industry today. Mr. Forbes has and continues to be the driving force behind the globalization of reggae music for over 50 years. We embrace this genius of a man as Jamaica's Christopher Columbus, not for conquering new countries, but for introducing reggae and the Jamaican culture to the world. Forbes, a truly multifaceted man, began his music career in 1962 with the Harmony Cats, a very successful group that performed at corporate functions across Jamaica. A few years later he debut his dancing career with a new group he formed "THE COASTERS" at Club Sombrero, appearing with the Mighty Vikings band. His dancing career evolved into the most illustrious and rewarding opportunity ultimately landing him in his first of four movies he acted in the first being THE FRENCH CONNECTION starring Gene Hackman and Roy Scheider which won five Academy Awards,followed by Groove Tube,Good Bye Baby and Forty Carats with Liv Ulman plus a regular spot on the most popular TV dance show at that time in the USA, "Soul Train". Following this success, he turned his passion for his country and reggae into one of the most distinguished artist management and Tour management careers in popular music. Copeland Forbes is one of the most consequential figures in the history of modern Jamaican music. Through his roles as personal and tour manager for some of the most iconic personalities in music, Forbes has been a witness to and a participant in some of the most intriguing dramas in the annals of modern popular music. Forbes is a much sought after speaking at music symposia and seminars across the world where his name is often a prime attraction and his vast knowledge a source of enlightenment and entertainment. Forbes has copped numerous awards for his outstanding contribution to the music industry including the Order of Distinction from the Government of Jamaica in 2017." Linkedin, Reggaeville.com |
