In 2016, Jamaican reggae artist Christopher Martin—winner of Digicel Rising Stars in 2005 and famed for hits like "Big Deal" and "Paper Loving"—performed at Summerjam, one of Europe's largest reggae festivals in Cologne, where his set, broadcast via Rockpalast, showcased his prowess as "reggae's new voice." The hour-long July 2 showcase, brimming with uplifting rhythms and poignant lyrics, opened with "I'm a Big Deal," building momentum through "Look on My Face" and "Mama," the anti-war "Under the Influence," plus "Paper Loving" and "Cheater's Prayer" as a climax amid cheers from a 50,000-strong crowd, marking his shift from TV fame to worldwide acclaim with millions of YouTube views. Fans and Reggaeville reviewers dubbed the gig "captivating" for its vocal strength and festival vigor, affirming Martin's bridge between classic reggae and contemporary vibes.
