Popular dancehall deejay Sheldon 'Aidonia' Lawrence after enjoying a memorable 2009 is now looking to take his career to new heights and stamp his dominance on the Jamaican music industry. Last Saturday the J.O.P recording artiste and his management left the island for a two weeks mini tour of the United States.

He is slated to headline a number of concerts throughout the New York Tri-State area, New Jersey and Connecticut alongside popular Kingston-based sound system Darkcide International also on a month long tour before returning home for a performance at the 2010 Youth View Awards. Aidonia also nabbed a nomination for Male Dancehall Artiste of The Year going up against fellow dancehall heavyweights Mavado and Vybz Kartel.

The Youth View Awards is a people choice award that offers a creative vehicle for Jamaican teens and young adults to be heard. The 3rd Annual Awards show and After Party will be held at National Indoor Sports Centre on Saturday February 6, 2010.

Following the award show the potent lyricist will begin preparations for an extensive tour of Europe. Meanwhile with his current street anthem Wi Sick on the Outbreak Riddim featuring fellow J.O.P member Suhverto creating waves across the local musical Diaspora, Aidonia is poised for greatness and is working assiduously on his highly anticipated debut album.
