‘A Bolt of all trades’- Jamaican sprint icon thrills fans with his skills on the mic

Jamaican sprint icon Usain Bolt is a man of many talents and passions off the track.

Jamaican sprinting legend Usain Bolt has been dazzling fans long after his retirement, this time not with his lightning speed but with his electrifying presence on stage.

Known worldwide as the fastest man on Earth, Bolt has also carved out a niche in the music world, showcasing his love and talent for reggae and dancehall.


Usain Bolt’s latest venture has seen the world’s fastest man ever exchange the track for the studio booth in a collaborative musical project with manager NJ Walker.


Recently, during a concert in Kingston, Jamaica, hosted by DJ Bloodline Franco, Bolt seized the moment to live one of his dreams. Performing for a massive audience, the sprint icon left the crowd energized and wanting more.

The moment was a significant milestone for Bolt, who took to social media afterward to share his excitement, captioning the experience with a playful twist, writing, “Bolt of all trades.” A video accompanying his post captured the vibrant atmosphere and the sprinter’s undeniable charisma on stage.

Fans were quick to shower Bolt with praise, with many suggesting he take his musical talents on tour. One comment read, “Tour date dropping soon?” to which Bolt cheekily replied, “Roaaadd,” hinting at the potential for a concert tour in the future.

Bolt’s passion for music runs deep. In 2019, he founded his own record label, A-Team Lifestyle, with the aim of promoting Jamaican music and nurturing local talent.

Since then, he has leveraged his global fame to spotlight the unique sounds of his home country and collaborate with renowned artists in the industry.

His musical journey officially began in 2019 with the release of his debut single, Living the Dream, a collaboration with his close friend and manager Nugent “NJ” Walker.

The track celebrated Bolt’s inspirational journey from humble beginnings to global stardom, resonating with fans worldwide.

Most recently, the 100m and 200m world record holder released a collaborative album titled Exotic N Wild, featuring NJ Walker. The album comprises five tracks such as Exotic N Wild, Desire, Everlasting, Moments, and Fire and Rain. With its blend of infectious beats and heartfelt lyrics, the album is a testament to Bolt’s growing artistry in the music world.
