KINGSTON 12 HiFi

KINGSTON 12 HiFi

KINGSTON12 HiFi is a Jamaican Sound System composed of groundbreaking International Reggae Artiste of over 40 years – SHINEHEAD – and multi-media artist DJ PAPALOTL aka BUTTAHFLY. In June 2012, DJ PAPALOTL launched the BUTTAHFLY FX show on grassroots Hip Hop station DIGGINDAILY.com. SHINEHEAD – the artist to be credited for fusing Reggae/Dancehall/HipHop/RnB and being the first Jamaican to have a music video on YO MTV RAPS – was an invited guest in September 2012. From that time, SHINEHEAD parked his crates of vintage vinyl and served as cohost, DJ, and freestyle lyricist/singer. Eventually the show expanded into various Reggae radio stations in Europe, UK, Canada, and the Caribbean, as both played together at events. SHINEHEAD and DJ PAPALOTL officially were billed as a sound system named KINGSTON12 Hi-Fi for the first time for DAMIAN MARLEY’s WELCOME TO JAMROCK REGGAE CRUISE in October 2014, and have also performed locally and internationally for stage shows and festivals within the USA, UK, Europe, Caribbean, and even Japan! Of course, you can catch them guest dj’ing at Reggae clubs, events, and festivals in and out of California, while at the same time, playing LIVE out of their KGN12 STUDIO that livestreams on kingston12hifi.com (#KINGSTON12tv).
