About Jaime Hinckson:
Since releasing his debut album Take Flight-a reggae jazz instrumental compilation of originals and popular covers-Jaime Hinckson has taken the music scene by storm with his classical technique and unique improvisational style. In 2020, the Miami-based artist continued to captivate listeners with his second album, Take Time: a passion project where jazzy piano meets classic hip-hop, bridging the gap between generations of music. Though Take Time marks a brief stylistic departure from Jaime’s work in the reggae world, he is slated to release his next reggae jazz album in 2021.
In addition to his instrumental projects, Jaime has produced records for international artists in a variety of genres. His sound can be heard throughout Jamaica, Brazil, Slovakia, Belgium, Mauritius, and all corners of the globe.
Hinckson also travels the world as keyboardist for Julian Marley’s band “The Uprising.” In addition to touring with Juju Royal, he can be seen on stage with The Wailers, Hollie Cook, and The Wailing Souls, to name a few.
