Donald "Slashe" Anderson wins Festival Song Competition 2023

Donald "Slashe" Anderson is the 2023 Jamaica Cultural Development Commission's Festival Song Competition winner.

The winning song, Best In The World produced by Donovan Germain of Penthouse Records, is his second attempt at the competition after making top 10 in 2004 when he went by the stage name 'Iceman'.

This year's second and third prize winners, Esco Levi and Shuga both had songs produced by Mr Germain.

Last year Minister of Culture Olivia Grange announced that there would be no Festival Song Competition, which sparked pubic outcry including sentiments from Prime Minister, Andrew Holness who said a way must be found to stage the event.

As songwriter Slashe has written songs for Gramps Morgan and Shaggy.
