Lockdown makes Usain Bolt a music star

Usain Bolt

Jamaican sprint great Usain Bolt, 35, has set his sights on topping the music charts as he looks to release his second album this year.

Bolt's debut album, Country Yutes, released last September.

"Music is just a part of me. In lockdown I wasn't doing much so I thought I could take the opportunity to get into music as it is something that I love to do. For me, the [debut] album we did was just to show people that we were serious. When we started out people thought I was just messing around and bored with nothing to do, but I wanted to let them know I was serious. I wanted to do a proper body of work and put it out there. Now we have done that, people are reaching out to work with us, so I am going to be doing a lot more this year," eight-time Olympic gold medal-winner Bolt told The Sun.
