ABOUT
Althea Hewitt is a singer, songwriter, and performer from Kingston, Jamaica. She has been singing since the age of five and has performed on stages all over the world.
Her music is a blend of reggae, soul, and R&B, with a message of love, hope, and empowerment. She has released several albums and singles, and her music has been featured in films and television shows.
Althea is also a vocal coach and has helped many aspiring singers to find their voice and develop their talent. She is passionate about music and its power to heal, inspire, and bring people together.
“I feel that I have a responsibility to set a positive example. So when composing my lyrics, I like to empower people, and to cover subject matters concerning our relationships and concerns. My ultimate aim is touch people worldwide and help us all to live more positively. Challenges are always there, but beyond the fall, it is about knowing you can get up because you’re a person of worth. Your only true competition is you.”
Musically, Althea is the complete package. She deftly incorporates reggae, pop, R&B and jazz into her music, thanks to the extensive vocal training, as well as speech, acting and dance courses she has taken at the prestigious Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts. She also has a background in music production, and produces her own shows, songs and engineers from her home studio.
Not confining herself to merely belting out tunes, Althea has also exercised her talents as songwriter, actress and model. These talents, along with her music have taken her across the world. She’s taken stages throughout Europe, North and South America, and even to the Micronesian island chain of New Caledonia, a French Pacific territory some 750 miles east of Australia. One of her proudest moments, however, was representing her home, Jamaica, as part of cultural showcase in Brussels, Belgium.
After releasing her successful debut compilation, “Introducing Althea Hewitt” which yielded the tracks “Boom Boom Boom”, “Unconditional Love”, and “Save Me”, among others, she came “Stronger” in 2019 – the name being the title of both her follow-up album and powerful hit single. In 2020, she released her EP, “My Black Is Strong”, featuring powerful tracks such as “My Joy”, “Freedom” and the title track, ‘My Black is Strong.”
