Teenage producer Stephen McGregor proved once again why many refer to him as the Genius, when he walked away with a coveted award at Sunday night's Reggae Academy Awards held at the National Indoor Sports Center in Kingston.

The first ever Reggae Academy Award which  Rohan Roberts was in attendance saw a modest turn out, with several internationals acts making their debut. The focus of the Academy was to use the show as a medium to rewards me****ers of the entertainment fraternity for their hard work through the years and there were several winners in various catergories including three special awards that were presented to Chris Blackwell, Rita Marley and Ernie Ranglin.

The young producer was nominated for three awards and received one of the biggest encores of the night, as from the very mention of his name in the category of "Best Dancehall Riddim" with two nomination for 'Power Cut' and 'Tremor' everyone started shouting his name as the favourite to nab the awards and so he did. The other contenders were 'Sativa' by Don Corleone and 'Gear Box' by the producer known as Truck Back.

The award was presented to him by recording greats Steelie and Clevie. Stephen a man of very few words, took the stage dressed in a black suit accented with a light grey shirt and a very retro looking black and white sunglasses. He paid homage to all whom were before him, except his dad, even though the crowd kept shouting, daddy, daddy, he just smiled and exited so we know it was just a honest mistake, that can happen to anyone, as one can easily be overwhelmed at the magnitude of the moment.
