Audrey Reid
by Indi Mclymont-Lafayette, Journalist
For noted multi-award-winning actress Audrey Reid, 2024 was a great year for her as she
copped two major awards, the Queens of Reggae Island Honorary Ceremony (QORICHC) in
March 24, 2024 and the Order of Distinction (Officer Rank) in October.
But she is anticipating even greater things in 2025.
“The sky is the limit for me. The offers keep coming in and I am thankful,” said Reid, who is still
basking in her OD honour.
“I have had awards before this but when it is a national honour by your own country, it hits
differently,” she said.
Her previous awards include:
1998 Jamaica Observer All woman award For Top Female Achiever
1999 Jamaica’s Actor Boy Award for the Stage Play ‘When the Cats Away’
1999 Marcus Garvey Award for Best Caribbean Actress
2007 Inductee into the Jamaican Theatre Hall of Fame for Film, Stage and Television
2007 Award for contribution to Theatre by Sunshine Theatre Company, Florida
2012 Bigga High Achiever Award for Outstanding Performance in Film and Theatre.

Kingston, Jamaica. September 14, 2025. For the period 2020 – 2024, roughly 168 Jamaican children were murdered while from 2019 – 2023, 619 women were killed. Statistics from 2023 show that over 80% of Jamaica’s murder victims were men. For singer, Aaron Silk, enough is enough and his new song and video, Painful Birth, signals his call to action for all Jamaicans to take a stand against violence. “Painful Birth for me is more than just an ordinary song—it's a tribute, a protest, and a prayer. It struck a chord deep inside me and I knew I had to liberate it to serve its purpose,” said Silk. The just released single was written by Michael Orrett and produced by Tru-Frequency Music based in Canada. A very poignant song, it gives a heartfelt lament echoing the grief, resilience, and hope of mothers who have lost their children to the harsh realities of life - especially in inner-city communities. Through vivid imagery, spiritual references, and emotional rawness, the lyrics convey a deep sense of sorrow, questioning, and ultimately, strength. “I wrote the song, but Aaron owned it. He made it his and delivered an exceptional rendition with his captivating voice,” said Orrett explaining that for him, it was a modern-day ballad of resistance and remembrance, giving voice to the voiceless and offering solace to grieving hearts. The song has been released on all major platforms such as Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Pandora, Boomplay, Amazon music, the itunes Store, Spotify etc. (Mike to add where else it is available). The accompanying music video, which was set in Jamaica, features noted Jamaican Actress Audrey Reid as the grieving mother and several other local talents. It was shot by Fareye Productions and is slated for release on X. “This one hit deep. We want to call on everyone, man, woman, boy, politicians, churches, all of us to come forward and take action to stop violence. In the video, the mother transformed her pain into purpose and made sure that her son’s death was not in vain. We want to ensure that other mothers don’t have to go through her experience, and our sons and daughters don’t die before fulfilling their dreams and mission,” said Silk.

Those were the words of emcee, Terri-Karelle Reid, as she glowingly described the performances of singers Andre Shepherd, Rory Baugh, Carole Reid, Lieutenant Commander John McFarlane, Courtni Jackson, Kamla Hamilton, Carla Tulloch, Canon Grace Jervis and musicians Dean Fraser, Warren Harris, and Yanique Leiba. Reid was describing a well organised fundraising production put on by noted songstress Carole Reid at the Christ Church in Vineyard Town recently. The evening featured pieces such as ‘Scandalise your name” where Carole Reid, Cannon Grace Jervis, Courtni Jackson and Tiffany Robinson sang about different scenarios where somebody was scandalizing their names. This was followed by Tiffany Robinson with her spoken word pieces – Duppy Passport and Story Time. The pieces – written by Jamaican poet Easton Lee – were very well received by the packed Christ Church audience as Robinson demonstrated her flair for the theatric through the pieces. Her other two pieces, Happy Anniversary and Granny, had the Church in stitches. Another outstanding piece was the tribute to deceased drummer Desi Jones by Rory Baugh, Andre Shephard, Harold Davis and Lt. Commander John McFarlene. The piece, Praise Him, was written by Desi Jones for the group, Chalice and has been a consistently popular song. Jones, who passed in May 2024, was born on February 21,1959. Organiser Carole Reid said that the event had been organised in tribute to Jones – who had agreed to be a part of the event before his passing. Baugh, consistently showed his skill as a performer with several pieces throughout the show. Pieces such as Figaro as a solo and A Perfect Symphony with Andre Shephard prompting emcee Terri-Karelle to hail him as “one of the greatest opera singers to come out of the Caribbean.” Carole Reid in turn was obviously enjoying the event and performed several pieces including Ave Maria and Tell Him with Carla Tulloch. Her joy, experience and expertise in delivery was quite inspiring. Tulloch too, demonstrated her tremendous talent with her rendition of Whitney Houston’s I will always love you. A rendition that garnered a standing ovation from her audience and queries about when she would be releasing her album as the audience wanted to hear more of her. Andre Shephard as always never disappoints and had the audience eating out of the palm of his hands. Overall, it was an evening of great musical feasting and Harold Davis brought the curtain down with a festive gospel medley that had Christchurch on its feet dancing. A fitting end to an outstanding show. - Review by Indi Mclymont-Lafayette.
