The final release in the last week in May was “Soul Confusion”, a collaboration between Perfect Giddimani and Ras Fraser Jr. “Soul Confusion” will also be on Ras Fraser Jr’s upcomng album, set for release by Wide Awake Music and Rebel Sound Records.
These releases from Giddimani Records will be building up to the release of Perfect Giddimani’s upcoming album, “Give Me My Flowers”, scheduled for release in the next couple of months. This will be Perfect Giddimani’s first solo album since his 2017 Billboard Reggae topping album “Live My Life Again”.
“One of Reggae music’s most unusual and fascinating artists. Perfect Giddimani, was born Greg Rose in Bamboo, St Ann, Jamaica. As with many Reggae artists, his mother sang in church, his grandfather also had a banjo band, so he was exposed to music from birth. His father repaired jukeboxes so he had access to many genres of music including Soul, Country, Pop, and Reggae, and he would sing the songs back with the instrumental side of the records.
Perfect Giddimani started recording for many of the Kingston producers which resulted in an increase in radio play on the big Jamaican radio stations. He met producer Rebel Chris who gave him the riddim on which he recorded “Handcart Boy”, the single that catapulted him to fame worldwide. “Handcart Boy” hit the number one spot on the charts in Jamaica and Germany and was quickly followed by “All I’ve Got”, “No Badda Me” and “Johnny”. The success of these singles led to tours in Europe, the USA, and South America, hitting some of the major festivals including Summerjam, Rototom Sunsplash, Reggae Jam, and also Reggae On The River and Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in California.
To date, Perfect Giddimani has released 13 albums and hundreds of singles. His last album “Live My Life Again”, which was released in 2017, hit the number one spot on the Billboard chart, knocking off Damian Marley. Other more recent career highlights include “Rastafari Way”, a song he produced on his Giddimani Records label, being featured in the latest 2021 James Bond movie “No Time To Die” and his song “Ganja Spliff” from his first album “Giddimani” featured in the movie version of “Nash Bridges”, also in 2021.
At present Perfect Giddimani is completing his latest album “Give Me My Flowers” with producers Andrew Moon Bain and David (Jah David) Goldfine from Zion

I Kings and Laurent (Tippy) Alfred from I-Grade Records out of the US Virgin Islands. The album is scheduled for release in early 2023. With his scintillating stage presence, Perfect Giddimani continues to be in great demand for shows and festivals.


Perfect Giddimani started as a roots artist and will always be considered a roots artist although, as the music scene changes, some of his songs are recorded on Dancehall beats. Even as he changes with the music environment, Perfect Giddimani always stays true to his conscious, positive lyrics. In his words “We keep it 100% clean, conscious and with a message”.
