Dancehall rising star Bayka is set to bring the fire to the third staging of Livewire, the high-energy concert series returning to Kingston on Thursday, May 29 at Usain Bolt’s Tracks & Records.
Known for blending raw talent with live music and vibrant stagecraft, Livewire has quickly become one of the most anticipated showcases—and this edition promises to be the most electrifying yet.
Bayka, born Ronaldo Romario Billings, has been on a fast track to stardom since his breakout year in 2021. With hits like 1Uptown, Top Tier, Sidung, and the viral collaboration Miss Pretty with DJ Mac, Bayka has carved out a space as one of dancehall’s most promising young voices. Fans attending Livewire can expect a charged performance that captures modern dancehall.
He won’t be lighting up the stage alone. Also on the bill are Tielo and AnnaLeax, two rising acts bringing fresh sounds and youthful energy to the Livewire lineup.
Backing the event as presenting sponsor is Appleton Estate, a brand synonymous with premium Jamaican culture and craftsmanship. Their support signals more than just a sponsorship, it’s a purposeful alignment.
“Appleton Estate is proud to continue our tradition of supporting live music and Jamaican culture through vibrant events like Livewire,” said Dominic Bell, Communications Manager for the Campari Group. “We believe in investing in platforms that spotlight homegrown talent and celebrate the energy, creativity, and spirit that make Jamaica truly special.”
For Carlton Davy of Yung Kingz Entertainment, the event’s promoter, Bayka’s headline performance is right on brand with Livewire’s mission. “We are thrilled to have Bayka headlining our third staging of Livewire. His rise in dancehall perfectly embodies the kind of raw talent and passion we aim to showcase. With the incredible support of Appleton Estate and the energy of Tracks and Records, this Livewire will be one for the history books!”
Livewire continues to build a reputation as a can’t-miss experience for music lovers.
