Musician,Singer,Songwriter
Born on March 18,1969 in Portland, Jamaica, I am the 7th of nine children for my parents. I grew up in the deep rural district of Bybrook in Portland. My talent as a singersongwriter emerged very early during my childwood years. I would sing at almost all community events such as
church and school concerts. It was at about age 11 that I started to take the music seriously. Back then, the sound systems were very popular and one-drop reggaedancehall rhythms were in full swing. In my town there was a sound called TRILLER TONE HI-FI and I was one of the top DJ on it. I was known then as Nelly Culture. This went well and I began to gain popularity as a DJ. At age 15, though, I got a scholarship to attend ST.MARY HIGH SCHOOL and I subsequently shifted focus from music to academics. My love for reggae music was, however, not affected by this shift in focus.
It was during my high school years that my song writing skills matured. I also switched from being a DJ to being singer. After completing High School in 1989 I Migrated to Kingston and landed my first job as an Import Clerk at the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN). While at STATIN, I met Garfield Lewis (a co-worker) who after realizing my ability as a singer introduced me to Producer and Studio Engineer G. Bravo of Leggos Recording Studio on Orange Street, Kingston. I began recording for Bravo and a couple of my tracks like “Jah Jah love”, “running around” and a remake Gregory Isaacs’ “not the way [to treat a lady]” were release on Bravo’s SmallWorld label. These releases, although never made any big impact, still brought some attention to my work.!!!!!!!!!

I am currently in the studio working on the tracks for my soon to be released album. The eleven original tracks which will be on this album cover issues relating to love, social commentry, spiritual conciousness among other topics. Keep looking for this album. It promises to be an excellent one.

THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

ONE LOVE
