Runkus Shoots for the Stars With New ‘Supernova’ Album: ‘I Started Scoring My Music Instead of Making It’ 

Jamaican producer-musician Runkus is charting new sonic territory with *Supernova*, a boldly conceptual album that marks a dramatic shift in his creative process. Moving away from traditional beat-making, Runkus has embraced orchestral scoring and composition—layering strings, brass, and intricate arrangements over the foundation that made him a fixture in Jamaica’s production elite. “I started scoring my music instead of making it,” he explains, a philosophy that transforms *Supernova* into something far larger than a typical reggae or dancehall project.

The award-winning musician positions this album as a gateway to new sonic dimensions, blending his roots in Caribbean rhythm with cinematic ambition. It’s a reminder that reggae’s producer class continues to innovate beyond genre constraints, pulling influence from film, classical music, and experimental production. For Runkus, *Supernova* isn’t just a new project—it’s a declaration that Jamaican musicianship belongs everywhere.
