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

Jamaican artist Runkus is charting a celestial course with his latest project “Supernova,” marking a bold sonic shift for the multi-talented producer and musician. In a move that signals artistic maturation, Runkus has fundamentally reimagined his creative process—pivoting from traditional beat-making to orchestral composition, a transition he describes as “scoring” rather than producing.

This evolution reflects a broader confidence in his artistic vision. By embracing compositional depth and instrumental sophistication, Runkus positions himself among Jamaica’s most forward-thinking creators, blending the island’s rich musical legacy with contemporary innovation. The “Supernova” era represents not just a new album, but a recalibration of what reggae and dancehall production can become when an established voice decides to push beyond genre conventions.
