Armanii
Summary
Kingston, Jamaica's Armanii is one of the hottest up-and-coming artists in the Caribbean right now thanks to tracks like “Dunce Barbie”, “Fiesta”, “8:00 PM” ft. Malie Donn, and “JUMP (BOUNCE)”. In a genre that is flooded with stick talk and basic lyrics, Armanii stands out from the pack with a unique blend of soulful ballads and Dancehall party bangers as well as bringing an unmistakably Jamaican feel to other global genres. Hot off the heels of "8:00 PM", Armanii appeared on AriAtHome’s stream and racked up over 40M views across Instagram, TikTok and Youtube Shorts. This propelled tracks like "JUMP (BOUNCE)" and "LINK UP" w/ Cjthechemist which collectively amassed nearly 20M streams across all platforms. This led to elevated support from DSPs with features on major playlists like Spotify's Best of Frequency 2025, Dancehall Official and Fever--which he covered twice--as well as Apple Music's New Fire. These accolades earned the young talent a win at the 2025 Caribbean Music Awards for the Dancehall Impact Award. With an authentic sound and growing international appeal, Armanii is steadily carving out a powerful presence in the global music scene.
