Reggae singer Stevie Face is proving that his impact extends far beyond the stage, turning his success in music into meaningful change for his home parish of St. Thomas. Known for soulful hits like Tell It Like It Is, My Prayer, and In The Living Years, the soft-spoken entertainer has become a driving force in community upliftment, blending artistry, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy into a mission to improve lives.
“When I was growing up, St. Thomas was one of the most underdeveloped parishes in Jamaica. Many years ago, I made a vow to myself that one day I would help to change that,” Stevie Face explained. Today, that promise has materialised into multiple businesses in Yallahs, including the Advanced Service Station, which provides full-time jobs for 65 residents. “I’m very passionate about philanthropy; it speaks to the core of who I am both as an artiste and as a human being,” he added.
Beyond business, Stevie Face continues to give back in various ways. His most recent effort was a partnership with Dr. Robert Clarke and the Help Jamaica Medical Mission to host a free health fair at Yallahs Primary School. The September 6 event drew hundreds of residents from Yallahs and surrounding communities, offering services such as blood pressure checks, diabetes screenings, eye exams, HIV testing, back-to-school medicals, eyeglasses, and medications. “I am pleased with how the health fair turned out. It was a tremendous success,” the singer said, noting that the turnout surpassed the previous year.
Looking ahead, Stevie Face intends to make the health fair an annual tradition. “The people of St. Thomas have benefited tremendously from the health fair, and I intend to continue this partnership… I am thankful to [Dr. Robert Clarke], his team, and all the support staff who helped make the health fair a success,” he shared.
Even with these commitments, Stevie Face hasn’t slowed down musically. He is currently working on his fourth studio album, slated for release soon, while his latest single, I’d Love You to Want Me (Want You), is performing well both locally and internationally. For Stevie Face, success is not just measured by chart positions but by the lives he touches—proving that his legacy will be written not only in reggae history, but in the heartbeat of his community.
