Biographies



Sean Paul

Dancehall DJ Sean Paul began scoring hit singles in Jamaica starting in 1996, and has since attracted American attention with his appearance on the soundtrack of Hype Williams' Belly (with Mr. Vegas and DMX) and his 1999 hit "Hot Gal Today".

Born Sean Paul Henriques on January 8, 1973, the multi-ethnic Paul (his parents had Portuguese, Chinese, and Jamaican blood) grew up comfortably in St. Andrew, Jamaica, his mother a renowned painter. He was a skilled athlete, excelling in swimming and especially water polo, playing for the Jamaican national team in the latter.

Although his education was enough to land a prosperous career, dancehall music remained Paul's first love, particularly crafting rhythm tracks.

Capleton

'I-Testament' was one of the hottest selling albums on the market.

The derivation of its name is from the fact that it protrudes some of the highest messages of the natural aspects of life. It features 16 tracks, a few of which are produced by some the top producers in Jamaica like Sly and Robbie. It varies from hardcore dancehall to hip-hop with a touch of R&B.

The words of righteousness which echoes over the rhythms and throughout the interludes will allow your mind undergo a mental therapy and at the same time it will be open with new thoughts and ideas.

 


Lady Saw - The First Lady Of Dancehall

Marion Hall aka Lady Saw, voted First Lady of Dancehall, was born in a small village in St. Mary, Jamaica.

As a lot of other Jamaican artists Lady Saw started her carreer on local sound systems. This is a good school if one wants to prepare for eventual recording sessions. The Jamaican recording industry is a hard one, and it's of great importance for you to have your act together once you enter in the recording studio.

Someone has payed a lot of money for studio time and of course time is money so if you know what you're doing everybody will be happy and you'll get more chances to record with the producer again, and most likely with others too. Artists that can't deliver will quite soon be out in the cold as producers have plenty of other artistes to spend money on.

Lady Saw is one of the artists with the ability to really deliver and she does it all the time.

 





Mad Lion

MADLION has been prowling thru the jungles of today musical habitat since the late 80’s. Recording with various dancehall reggae labels such as Super Power Jammys VpRecords, Guasi, Massive B as well as his very own label Spinnas Choice.

With over a 100 dancehall releases in his growing catalog, Lion built a reputation as an undeniable underground force to be reckoned with.

But it wasn’t until he met KRS-ONE in Super Power Records in 1991, would the true premeditated musical vision of MADLION birth.

The pair clicked immediately and shortly thereafter, Lion conquered, seized and marked his territory with his now classic, controversial club banger "Shoot to Kill". He followed with gold-selling smash "Take it Easy" a 1994 hit off the Real Ting album released in 95 which spanned other chart toppers, including "Own Destiny" "Double Trouble" and "Real Ting".

The five headbangers reached global proportions.






Mr. Vegas

It’s 2004, and reggae dancehall has finally emerged from its decades-long spell in the music underground. Next up in the world spotlight is MOBO Award-winner, Mr. Vegas, a frontline Jamaican dancehall star with a dazzling flow.

It’s the unexpectedness of the Vegas sound you notice first – the way he drives his exquisite tenor over a jumped up riddim track, then thins out the notes with a deejay’s [reggae rapper] rhythmic precision. In dancehall parlance, Mr. Vegas is a "singjay" – working the borderline between singer and rapper.

Following the legacy of the late singjay legend Tenor Saw, Vegas brings together in his vocals the most appealing of reggae contradictions – delirious singing blended with hardcore rapping.


 

 

Shabba Ranks

 

Shabba Ranks was arguably the most popular dancehall toaster in the world. He was a massive crossover success in the U.S., thanks to an openly commercial hybrid of reggae and hip-hop, and also to prominent duet partners like Maxi Priest, Johnny Gill, and KRS-One.

All of this brought him several hit singles and albums on the R&B charts in the early '90s, and made him the first dancehall artist to win a Grammy. Ranks' distinctive, booming growl of a voice earned him many imitators, and his sex-obsessed lyrics -- while drawing criticism for their unrelenting "slackness" -- made him one of dancehall's hottest sex symbols.

Ranks' early success also helped pave the way for even bigger crossovers by artists like Shaggy and Sean Paul.

Ranks' burgeoning popularity led to a major-label deal with Epic in 1991, and it was clear from the start that he aspired to crossover stardom. His Epic debut, "As Raw as Ever", featured a high-profile duet with the then-hot Maxi Priest, "Housecall." "Housecall" made the Top Five on the R&B charts, sending "As Raw as Ever" all the way to #1 on the R&B album listings.

 


Sizzla

 

Sizzla was born in August Town - Kingston, Jamaica as Miguel Collins. A humble and observant person, but is aggressive against black oppression. As a person from the ghetto he is conscious of the suffering of youths in the ghetto. Through his songs, he teaches youths to uplift themselves and to respect women.

In 1997, Sizzla recorded the #1 album of the year "Black Woman & Child" for producer Bobby "Digital" Dixon. Before that he had previously recorded a album "Praise He Jah" for producer Phillip "Fattis" Burrel on the "Exterminator" label. Since then he has been recording hits after hits.

Because his continuity and versatility he has gained recognition throughout the world. Presently, Sizzla is one of the hottest performers in the music industry.

Sizzla has always been working hard touring and doing shows locally, but has always made time to return to the studio to continue his great work. This album "Good Ways" produced by Bobby "Digital" Dixon and his "Battalion" is another master piece of Sizzla's great work.
