Reggae artiste Bugle recently completed a promotional run in New York City (NYC) and Hartford for his critically acclaimed album, Picture Perfect.

It was right off the flight from Kingston, Jamaica, and straight to NYC’s Power 105.1 for an interview with DJ Norie. He then attended a late-night album launch event at the East Village Lounge Bar 13, where he treated the full house to a freestyle at the end of the evening. SiriusXM’s DJ Gringo, who would interview Bugle later in the week at the satellite radio giant’s midtown Manhattan headquarters, was the host. Bugle also met with SiriusXM The Joint’s Programme director, Pat McKay.

The week continued with stops at the Brooklyn basement studios of Power Of Reggae radio with Father German, an interview with K-Flash at Internet station JA Irie Radio, a conversation with Splackavelli at Caribbean Power Jam Radio, trips to Connecticut for Energy Radio and Busy Radio, and multiple visits to NYC reggae mainstay, Irie Jam radio. The singer also passed through the Queens headquarters of his distributor, VPAL Music (a subsidiary of VP Records), and streaming platform Audiomack to strategise on playlist and promotional campaigns.

An album listening event at Sandz Bar and Grill was capped off with a special performance of the song, Life Saviour. Bugle then took a pre-dawn trek to Hartford’s HOT 93.7 for an interview on the station’s Reggae Ride to Work drive-time segment, before returning to NYC to film the official video for Life Saviour.
