Intercept Music, Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Sanwire Corporation, Expands Partnership with Reggae Music Influencer, Mr. Tanto Irie

LOS ANGELES, May 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Intercept Music, Inc. ("Intercept"), a SaaS entertainment-technology company and wholly owned subsidiary of Sanwire Corporation ("Sanwire" or "Company") (OTC Pink: SNWR), has expanded the role of current brand ambassador Tanto Irie to include personalized coaching services as a Music Pro. Mr. Irie is a renowned figure within the reggae music community, and as an Intercept Music Pro, he presents a significant revenue opportunity among the up-and-coming artists in the genre who are core to Intercept's model.

Honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the International Reggae & World Music Awards, Mr. Irie is a prolific producer and internationally syndicated, on-air host focused on reggae and tropical music. He first emerged as a radio DJ in the early 1980s and was instrumental in breaking or promoting the careers of such acts as the Marley Brothers, Shaggy, Beenie Man, Sanchez, and many, many more.

He is the founder of Reggae Runnins, a diverse entertainment company offering services including live on-air studio and remote broadcasts, concert and festival bookings, and producing and promoting reggae artists. He stays intimately connected with emerging and established artists as the host of the Reggae Runnins radio program, carried by Cox Radio and originating as the #1 show on Florida's #1 urban station, HOT105 FM. As a brand ambassador, he has already brought a meaningful number of independent artists to the Intercept Music roster.

Starting in the third quarter of 2020, the hundreds of artists who reach out to Mr. Irie annually will be able to book one-on-one music and career coaching sessions with him, directly on the Intercept Music website. Until now, it was virtually impossible for independent artists to gain access to industry professionals of the caliber of Intercept's Music Pros. These music experts, artists and influencers have amassed a collective 100-plus Grammy Awards and other industry recognitions, and generated more than $500 million in album sales. Music Pros are available to the entire Intercept Music roster of artists for individualized coaching sessions, as on optional add-on service.

"In the tight world of reggae and tropical music, Mr. Tanto Irie's influence can make the difference between a mega-hit and a dud. He's the definition of credibility in the reggae world and we are fortunate to have that reputation now reflecting on us," said Tod Turner, President of Intercept Music. "With his guidance and our promotion and marketing systems, independent artists have a solid recipe for success in pursuing their music careers."
