Movie Soundtrack
Destiny: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is produced by Grasshopper Music Entertainment. It is distributed internationally by Tuff Gong International as part of its recent deal with Caroline Music, a division of Universal Music Group.
Tuff Gong International label manager, Myshjua Archibald, describes the movie’s soundtrack as a natural fit for the company’s brand and catalogue. “The Hon Robert Nesta Marley, our founder, always intended that Tuff Gong be an outlet for the tremendous independent talent in Jamaica and the Destiny release continues that legacy.”
CEO of Grasshopper Music Entertainment, Jeremy Whittaker noted that “I believe this soundtrack is one of the best original compilation reggae albums out in recent times and it definitely can stand on its own legs separate and apart from the film.”
Tuff Gong Partnership
CEO of the Marley Group, Cedella Marley, weighed in on the partnership. Noting that “Tuff Gong is proud to be a part of another milestone in Jamaican entertainment. With this authentic Jamaican production, Jeremy is sharing a slice of Jamaican life,” she said. “Destiny has ruled the local box office and will no doubt attract a global following, and we look forward to a successful partnership.”
