Miami, Fl - Philanthropist and Soca music pioneer, Alison Hinds, is set to deliver another high energy live performance at the 26th annual JazzReggae Festival on Monday, May 28th, in Los Angeles, California. The JazzReggae Festival has evolved into the largest student run music festival on the campus of University of California, Los Angeles. Taking place in the intramural field at UCLA, the JazzReggae Festival’s outdoor scene will facilitate the limitlessness of the smooth sounds of jazz as well as the rhythmic beats of reggae. Hinds adds to this musical recipe with her Caribbean soca flavor.

Bearing the name the Queen of Soca, Hinds is known for her irresistible, hook-laden songs and her crowd rocking performances. She is set to perform on the 2nd day of the two- day music festival at UCLA. Hits like “Roll it Gal” featured on her solo debut album Queen of Soca has placed Hinds under the global eye. Hinds has done several collaborations including “Can’t Let my Luv Go,” featuring Shaggy who is also performing at the JazzReggae Fest.

This year’s lineup of entertainers is set to feature soulful jazz, original hip-hop, vibrant soca, and jammin’ reggae. Live performances include The Roots, Booker T. Jones, Gary Clark Jr., Thundercat, Seluh Sue, Sonnymoon on Jam Day, May 27th and Shaggy, Tarrus Riley, Collie Buddz, Alison Hinds, Don Carlos, Cris Cab on Reggae Day, May 28th.
