With a new single on the market, Sun Shade is going all out to promote “Missing You”, which was released July 1 by his Jeanne Music label through Tuff Gong International.
As much as he is into social media, the singer prefers getting out and pressing flesh with fans.
“Well, live shows is something I am working on you know, reaching out to promoters who are willing to give me a chance,” said the singer, who is based in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Jamaican artist’s next show is in Cleveland at the Music Box Supper Club on August 14. Many of Sun Shade’s shows are in that city, which he has called home for over 15 years.
He produced and co-wrote “Missing You” with Craig McDonald who also played on the lovers rock track. The song was inspired by the breakup of a relationship Sun Shade was involved.
This is his latest ballad. In late 2020, Sun Shade covered “Two Occasions”, a massive hit for Rhythm And Blues group The Deele in 1987.
Originally from rural St. James parish in western Jamaica, Sun Shade notes that there is no great formula to his songwriting.
“Just be true to yourself, it's that simple,” he said.
