Island-Pop star Conkarah's viral hit songs ‘Banana (feat. Shaggy)’ and ‘Banana (feat. Shaggy) [DJ Fle - Minisiren Remix]’ have combined to officially surpass one billion global streams, with the remix version now also certified Platinum in Brazil and Gold in Canada, India, Mexico, The Netherlands and Norway. Conkarah will be announcing the release of a new song soon.

Summer 2020 also saw the release of a remix EP featuring inventive flips of ‘Banana’ by an array of international superstar DJs including Dave Audé, Dinaire+Bissen, Faustix, Lady Bee, James Anthony, and New Zealand’s DJ FLe.

Born Nicholas Murray, Conkarah’s love for music started as a child in Kingston, Jamaica singing his favorite songs to his mother – from homegrown legends, Bob Marley and Gregory Isaacs, to an eclectic mix of American classics, including Boys II Men, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Backstreet Boys. Still, as son to a famed member of Jamaica’s national football team, his burgeoning musical interests came second to sports.

When a career-ending injury took him from the field, Conkarah placed his energies towards music, writing his own original songs while also recording soulful covers of his favorite records, accenting each with his signature warm island flare. His heartfelt renditions of pop hits soon earned him a worldwide fan following.

The phenomenal multi-platform global success of ‘Banana’ has now brought the talented young star full circle. Having first found fame by reinventing hit records, Conkarah has given the whole world his own extraordinary song to sing along with.
