Abel ‘JR Lovestabbs’ Stokes has been getting his music out there, performing at bars, hotels and most recently at BowJay’s fifth anniversary and the Miss Guyana Emancipation 2016 at the National Cultural Centre (NCC).
The singer and guitarist hasn’t yet settled on a genre but dabbles with Reggae, Soul, R&B and Jazz.
Music runs in his blood, or as he puts it, “When you have Rastafarian heritage, music is like praying.”
He has always had a passion for singing. “I have been singing as far back as I could remember. Music is my life and joy, my form of happiness and one of the things I love,” JR said.
In fact, music means so much to him that he has returned here to pursue it.
