Grammy Award winning artist Sean Paul and Soca superstar Kes (Kees Dieffenthaller) will produce the official anthem of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.

The T20 World Cup will be held in the USA and the West Indies from June 1 to 29.

With less than two months to go for the World Cup to begin, the preparations are going on in full swing. The anthem’s production is also nearing completion, as per a release from the ICC. The official anthem is being produced by Michael ‘Tano’ Montano and will be launched in the coming weeks.

The music video and the anthem are expected to feature cameos from many ‘well-known superstars.’

Sean Paul is a Jamaican dancehall artist, philanthropist and record producer who has also earned several Grammy, Latin Music and Billboard Music Awards nominations. He is also the recipient of an MTV Europe Music Award (2003), Grammy Award winner ‘Dutty Rock’ Reggae Album of the Year (2004), the ASCAP Rhythm and Soul Music Awards for ‘Top Reggae Artiste of the Year’ (2005), an American Music Award (2006), of which he is the only Jamaican artiste to have won in the category for ‘Favourite Pop and Rock Male Artist’, and MOBO Award (2013).

Kees Dieffenthaller is the lead singer of Kes the Band, the eclectic outfit from Trinidad and Tobago behind some of modern Caribbean music’s most indelible anthems. In addition to his collaboration with Sean Paul on the tournament’s official anthem, Kes has shared the stage with the likes of Will Smith, Major Lazer and John Legend and has collaborated with artists from Wizkid to Snoop Dogg.
