Jamaica’s famed international Selector and Personality Hotta
Maestro (formally of Swatch International and Jamaica’s infamous Passa Passa
street dance), received a clean bill of health from his medical team for 2017.
Diagnosed in 2016 with sleep apnea (a common disorder in
which a person experiences a pause in their breathing while asleep) which in
turn led to Pulmonary Heart Failure (which causes shortness of breath and
swelling of the body), Maestro was hospitalized at University Hospital and
under doctors care until the issue was healed.
“Maestro was a good patient” said the Selectors lead doctor. “He did everything that was asked of him
which led to his recovery. He is good to
go!”
The go-to Selector is regarded as one of the best in the
business. Popularizing street parties in
Jamaica, as well as representing brand Jamaica while performing abroad, Maestro
has made artists music popular in Dancehalls around the world. Performing alongside Demarco on the hot
single “Lazy Body”
which enjoys more than 4 million views on YouTube, the Selector, MC, Artiste
and Actor has made his stamp known worldwide.
The international Reggae and Dancehall fraternity expressed
concern for Maestro when word circulated that he was not well. Boston’s Junior Rodigan encouraged fans to
pray for Maestro via Twitter. “I
appreciate all the prayers love and support” said Maestro from his home in
Kingston. “I have a new lease on life,
and I’m ready to hit the road playing the best music for my fans!”
Maestro is available for local and international bookings as
of February 3rd, 2017.
