Usain Bolt has been making his presence felt in the music industry lately through collaborations and featuring in videos. The former track star is trying his hand in the world of music production and is slowly beginning to use his influence to build it up.?

Recently, he collaborated with NJ to release ?It?s a Party?, which immediately made an impact on the charts. In fact, last week the song peaked at #3 and #2 in the Apple Music UK and France Reggae charts respectively.

The song features Bolt doing what he does best (apart from running) and has a very relaxing yet energetic vibe to it. This marked the most successful track in the former Olympian?s records yet, and there is surely more where that came from.?

Usain Bolt has had significant success in music production

Since his retirement in 2017, Bolt has been in and out of several experiences. He spent time as a professional footballer, although that was a shadow of the glory he achieved on the tracks. The Jamaican has since decided to test his skills in music and has been moving smartly into the industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Bolt did not try out his vocals and left that to NJ. Instead, he focused on the production aspect and featured in the music video. His name and influence from an illustrious career drew thousands of viewers and fans are excited to see what?s next.
