Koffee—who plays Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Thursday—might be the youngest person to win the Grammy for Best Reggae Album, having been awarded the accolade in 2019.
The 22-year-old Jamaican musician has never played Reggae Rise Up, but with her new album Gifted now on the shelves, she doesn’t have much need to work it at endless festivals.
Hence why she takes the Jannus stage for the first time ever this week alongside Genrus and Tampa’s own DJ Blenda.
