Like so many of Jamaican Hit-Makers, Spectacular is a product of the ghetto (born January 26th, 1976 in Kingston, Jamaica).He hails from the Kencot area of Kingston and was educated at the Maxfield Park Primary- and Norman Manley High-School.It was from the street corner that he graduated to start hanging out at the
Penthouse recording facility, after school.In 1993 he made his first major stage performance after he had passed an
audition for the Yard and Broad promoted, StarWave 93, at Fort Clarence/
Jamaica.In 1996 his first recording, "I Love This Girl", on the Chop Chop Label, was
released.Right after this first record, Spectacular was burning more Fire on the
Jamaican airwaves with Hit-singles like "Melody In Your Voice" for Buju
Bantons Gargamel Label and "Push On Though", "Who Hail The Man" and "Love &
Joy" produced by Veteran Engineer "Soljie" Hamilton and Dean Frazier.Within the years Spectacular worked with different european Producers like
Ganglords from Switzerland and Pionear from Germaican Records (Voice of the People on Dr Darling Riddim) in Germany to
built a strong link with the european reggae market.In 2004 he toured in Austria and Germany together with Lutan Fyah and later in the year
in France and Spain with Ire Ites Sound. While
Spectacular was on tour he voiced for several producers in Europe to build
enough tunes for his first Album. This succesfull tour created a strong name
for the artist in the european reggae-scene and finally leads Spectacular to
his first Album called "Find Yourself".Two other albums are on the way...one with US label named I n I Foundation and the other on Irie Ites Records.The first single he had on Irie Ites Records, Rasta on Zion Riddim, got great feedbacks from all over.
