Gregory Chambers is better known to those in the DC dancehall reggae field as Royal, an aspiring singer and song writer. For the past few years, he has been making his appearance as a dancehall singer in Maryland, Florida, New York and Washington DC. Originating from Mall Road, Kingston Jamaica, he grew up in Waltham Garden, Kingston 11 and also Cockburn Pen where he attended Russell Primary, Cockburn Garden All Age and later on, Silassie Secondary. Royal then attended the HEART Academy where he studied carpentry Royal has always had a passion for singing and got his practice while at home with his mother who is always singing while performing her chores. He has an uncle who owned the sound system Black Scorpio, an older brother Leonard Conway who is also a singer and another brother who is a DJ. He got his first stint of fame at the age of thirteen when he was pushed on stage at an outdoor stage show in Waltham Garden. He boldly grabbed the microphone and sang Silly Of Me by Stacy Lattisaw. The crowd begged for an encore and from then on, Royal rarely missed an opportunity to get in the music mix. The singer has performed on many sound systems in Jamaica and the United States. He has done dub plates for several sound systems including Delta Force, Little Wicked and Culture Bright. He has performed on Black Star sound system at a stage show in North Carolina. Royal had the pleasure to do a collaboration dub plate with artiste Major Mackerel for his song Growing Pain. He has done three singles, Red Light, Blue Light; Party All Night Long; and Growing Pain for Producer Peter McKenzie from New York. He is currently working on his first album entitled Phase One and will be released on the Base Line/Celebrity label this summer. His single Twenty Twos When Riding also comes out this summer on the Yardie Style Ent. Label. Royals favorite artiste is Bounty Killer and he respects Beenie Man for holding it down all these years. He also enjoys songs by Michael Prophet, Little John, Gregory Isaac, Michael Palmer, Dennis Brown, Phillip Fanner and Beres Hammond. Royal would like to see Jamaican singers write more original songs and do less cover versions. Originality is his motto as he continues to write uplifting songs and strive for success and legendary status in the reggae music industry.
