A Queen’s Heart
The crown is heavy — but it's love that lifts it.
Stop the Crime
& Violence
Born from the same streets she grew up on, Queen Kamarla’s Stop the Crime & Violence initiative was first staged in Trench Town in 2017. Using music as a vehicle of peace, the initiative brings rival communities together under one stage, one rhythm.
What began as a local concert series has grown into an international peace movement — spanning 36+ Jamaican communities, reaching the United States in 2021, and expanding to South Africa in 2022.
In 2024, the initiative evolved into a school tour format, focusing on youth education and prevention. Queen Kamarla visits schools delivering motivational sessions alongside musical performances.
“I’m tired of seeing all these videos floating around with children fighting in school. We have to save our children because they are the future.”

Artists Who Stood Up
For the Children
When her son Kevon was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, Kamarla organized fundraising concerts and rallied her artist community to cover medical costs at the Cleveland Clinic and Bustamante Hospital for Children. His full recovery deepened her commitment to childhood health and youth mentorship.
“I’m not stopping. I know where I’m going, and I’m working every day to get there.”
Catalyst Entertainment Group
Founded by Queen Kamarla as A & K Catalyst ENT LLC, the label serves as both a music imprint and a social platform — a launchpad to greatness for artists rising out of the same streets that raised her, and a vehicle for the humanitarian work she continues to expand.
