I-Octane is one of the most popular and richest Reggae Singer who was born on April 29, 1984 in Sandy Bay, Jamaica. Jamaican reggae and dancehall artist known for injecting messages of positivity and social consciousness into his music. Some of his most popular songs include “Mama You Alone” and “No Love Inna Dem.”
He collaborated with Bounty Killer on the 2012 single “Badmind Dem A Pree.”
Muir began his recording career at the age of 16, when he was introduced to Donovan Germain of Penthouse Records, then manager of such artists as Buju Banton and Assassin. Muir released his first singles, “Oh Jah” and “Stepp a Seed”, in 2000 at Penthouse Records under the moniker Richie Rich. After meeting Junior Arrows of the Arrows Recording Company, Muir signed onto the Kingston label under the new name I-Octane, a play on high-octane fuel and the Rastafarian use of I. I-Octane’s initial acclaim came in 2007 for his social commentary works such as the roots reggae track “Stab Vampire” which climbed to the top of several Jamaican charts. In 2009, I-Octane topped the charts again with his emotional songs “Mama You Alone” and “Lose A Friend”, and the latter of which was later adapted as a tribute to those who died during the police manhunt for Christopher “Dudus” Coke in Tivoli Gardens.
When I-Octane left Arrows over financial disputes, the artist came under the guidance of Robert Livingston, a veteran producer who had been responsible for the success of such artists as Super Cat and Shaggy. I-Octane gained further traction in 2010 with a string of hits produced by Cashflow Records, including “No Love Inna Dem” and the cannabis anthem “Puff It,” which was named as one of NPR’s Top 5 Dancehall Tracks of 2011. He also topped the charts once again with the contemplative “My Life” produced by DJ Frass, and was featured in the April–May issue of the hip hop magazine Vibe. The same year, he also signed on as Brand Ambassador for the telecommunications firm Digicel, and as of 2013 he remains employed as a representative of the company. I-Octane has also been the Brand Ambassador for the Golden Eagle Brand in Jamaica since 2015.
