Warrior King was born on the 27th of July 1979, in Jubilee Hospital, soon moving to Clarendon, then settling in the growing city of Portmore at age eleven. "From birth I..ve always loved music, but it was not until I attended high school at the age of 13 that I thought about it as something I could do myself," Warrior King explains. "At this time I followed Bounty Killer..s style, but them my friend Warrior Mark, him said, "you have the potential. You have the talent." From there I started increasing my own thing, and with encouragement of my peers and inspiration and t..ing, the music started to flow." Like many successful Jamaican entertainers, Warrior King gained his earliest stage experience in talent shows. "I started out with school concerts at first, "He says. "At the time when I just came inna music, I used to do some combinations with a yout.. named likkle blacks, Marlon Stewart. We used to do Tastee..s Talent show together, so we could start getting exposed and gain experience." When he first started out Warrior King chatted in a hardcore deejay style, like his original hero, Bounty. A switch to the more holistic "singjay" sound came gradually. "It..s a natural thing what just grow inside of me, even his name is an extension of his evolution. "I changed my name from ..Junior King.. to ..Warrior King.. because it had more of spiritual feel to it. Fighting against oppression, fighting against wrong. I..m jah warrior, yuh know, fighting a warrior rootical love."In 2001, his single "Virtuous Women" graced the airwaves internationally and become number one throughout many countries.
