PRLog - Feb. 17, 2014 - KINSTON 10, Jamaica -- February 17 2014 - is exactly one year since 25 year old international reggae/dancehall artist Orisha Sound and producer Shel-K were held at the gunpoint in Half Way Tree area in Kingston Jamaica. The two were getting ready to shoot a music video for a song “Embrace it” – Orisha Sound feat Sizzla Kalonji. Shel-K received a gunshot in abdomen and went through 8-hour surgery in Kingston Public Hospital. Orisha Sound was advised to leave the island and postponed the video production.

Despite of pain and pressure the decision was made to stick with the schedule and produce the video on time. She-K was in critical condition for 24 hours but recovered quickly.

It’s a black history and reggae music month. Its like I was reborn a stronger man and I will keep on producing great music no matter what” – Said Shel-K.
