Visually-impaired reggae artist Nigy Boy debuts on network TV
On the heels of his smash single “Continent” that has garnered over eight million views on YouTube, New York-based, visually-impaired, reggae artist Nigy Boy “world premiered” his follow-up single “Judgment” on PIX 11 TV in New York on Tuesday during the station’s morning show.
Nigy Boy, who is originally from Montego Bay, Jamaica, was interviewed by PIX TV anchors Dan Mannarino and Hazel Sanchez, and performed “Continent” for a New York tri-state area television audience.
“It’s was a great privilege to get the opportunity to perform on network television here in the US and to premier my new single Judgement on the station was the icing on the cake,” Nigy Boy told Caribbean Life.
“I am looking forward to capitalizing on more network opportunities like this,” he added.

The infectious new single, which was shot in February, during Superbowl 2024 weekend in Miami, was produced by dancehall’s hit-making producer Rvssian.
In just over 24 hours, “Judgment” had racked up almost half a million views on Instagram and almost 200,000 views on YouTube.
In the video, the visually-impaired artist enacted a mind-blowing stunt, attempting to drive a taxi cab filled with girls through a busy street in Miami.
Nigy Boy performed to a sold-out crowd in Antigua over the weekend, Jamaican entertainment publicist Anthony Turner told Caribbean Life.
The New York-based Turner said Nigy Boy’s next Jamaica performance will be at Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay in July.
