I began singing professionally in 1998 as a background vocalist for Causion, Antigua's Reggae Ambassador. After performing with him, I began writing and recording songs in Jamaica at 321 Strong Studio with Syl Gordon, Causion and Hopeton Lindo. Then I began recording with the legendary Courtney Panton (big up yuh chess!) of New Kingston Studios in Brooklyn, NY. I was offered the chance to tour with Kymani Marley by his musical director, Derrick Barnett of Sagittarius Band fame. After touring with Kymani for a few years, I toured extensively with Glen Washington, Anthony B., and most currently, the Grammy Award-winning Steel Pulse. Working with these artists has allowed me to travel to numerous countries in North and South America, Japan, Australia, Europe and Africa. Aside from touring, I have done studio and stage work with many of my favorite artists such as: Marcia Griffiths, Annette Brissett, Luciano, The Wailers, Capleton, Pinchers, Derrick Barnett, Burning Spear, Tarrus Riley, Freddie MacGregor, George Nooks, Sizzla, Shaggy, Wayne Wonder, Natural Black, Dennis Brown, Mahlon, Mikey Spice, Tinga Stewart, Fiona, Rob Symeon, Everton Blender, Junior Kelly, Empire Isis, Nadine Sutherland, Audrey Hall, Pam Hall, Sanchez, Richie Stephens, Mikey General, Lutan Fyah, Lloyd Brown, Roger Robin, Tasha T, Lady Saw, Jah Mason, Twiggi, Chevelle Franklyn, Chrisinti, Norris Man, Donovan Banzani and many a blessing more. My first recorded release was a cover of Marcia Griffiths' "Stepping Out Of Babylon" in 1999 on the Hills Radio Jam label. The next single was a duet with Pinchers entitled "Make Space" on the Thriller label in 2001. The next was a Joe Fraser release named "No More Rain" and the follow up was a limited-release single named "My Favorite Place To Be." My latest single is another Joe Fraser release named "Miss-I-Rebel" a.k.a. "Miserable" which is a light-hearted song about the paradox of missing a man from a past relationship who had a miserable nature.
