Born June 2, in Lionel Town Clarendon Jamaica, to parents Glenford and Peggy Smith. Karl relocated to the cool parish of Manchester at the tender age of two (2). He was soon to develop a relentless passion for music (singing and song writing). Karl, nick named, Paul, marked as a singer from birth, soon revealed he could craft musical lyrics. He can dip into Soul, R&B, Gospel, Pop, and of course his roots, Reggae. However Karl did not take his talent seriously until age twenty-two (22) after migrating to Toronto Canada. There he recorded his first single in nineteen ninety eight (1998) called “Crazy Worldâ€. Karl was not able to dedicate the required time for the music, as a result of working two jobs. Overwhelmed with passion, and a haunting that beckons his innermost artistic gifts. He decided to delve into his musical treasure whole-heartedly. With this new resurgence he started performing all over Canada and Toronto with various local and international artists: Shaggy, Baby Sham, Wayne Wonder, Barrington Levy, and L.U.S.T. just to name a few.
By January 2005 Karl was steadfast on his decision to move back to his musical roots. And so here he is Karl Anthony poised and ready from the hills and plains of Jamaica. A prolific songwriter with a dazzling array of vocal styles and a range that is synonymous to many great artists. Some of who are his favourites from the Old and new school: Sam Cooke, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Sanchez, Luciana etc. Karl’s love for people transcends race, rank, creed and nationalities. Thus his philosophy is ‘Love Shall Teach Them.’ Karl’s ambition is to stir hearts break down barriers of hate, while finding time to relax, tantalize, and blissfully mesmerizing the ladies.
He has started his own production company called ‘Music Manna Productions.’ His latest singles are: What I feel, Love Hurts, Loneliness and Compromise. All tracks are produced by Diamond Cut Productions: Mandeville, Manchester; Karl Anthony, look and listen for this name.
