Born on March 18,1969 in Portland, Jamaica, I am the 7th of nine children for my parents. I grew up in the deep rural district of Bybrook in Portland. My talent as a singer\songwriter emerged very early during my childwood years. I would sing at almost all community events such as church and school concerts. It was at about age 11 that I started to take the music seriously. Back then, the sound systems were very popular and one-drop reggae\dancehall rhythms were in full swing. In my town there was a sound called TRILLER TONE HI-FI and I was one of the top DJ on it. I was known then as Nelly Culture. This went well and I began to gain popularity as a DJ. At age 15, though, I got a scholarship to attend ST.MARY HIGH SCHOOL and I subsequently shifted focus from music to academics. My love for reggae music was, however, not affected by this shift in focus. It was during my high school years that my song writing skills matured. I also switched from being a DJ to being singer. After completing High School in 1989 I Migrated to Kingston and landed my first job as an Import Clerk at the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN). While at STATIN, I met Garfield Lewis (a co-worker) who after realizing my ability as a singer introduced me to Producer and Studio Engineer G. Bravo of Leggos Recording Studio on Orange Street, Kingston. I began recording for Bravo and a couple of my tracks like “Jah Jah love”, “running around” and a remake Gregory Isaacs’ “not the way [to treat a lady]” were release on Bravo’s SmallWorld label. These releases, although never made any big impact, still brought some attention to my work.!!!!!!!!! Tony Gits
Born in Kingston Jamaica, the reggae capital of the World, Tony is
recognized as a talented actor, composer, producer, arranger, guitarist,
vocalist and percussionist .Powered by his Rastafarian faith, Tony relocated
to Canada in 1975 touring with the internationally known Ernie Smith
and his band Roots Revival as vocalist and percussionist. Tony later
became one of the founding members of the Reggae group "BLOOD FIRE"
which performed at Reggae Sun splash in Jamaica in 1982. While in the
group "BLOOD FIRE" Tony performed as opening acts for some
of the World's most famous reggae artists such as Jimmy Cliff, Third
World, Steel Pulse, Gregory Issacs, and The Mighty Diamonds,JC Lodge
to name only a few. Singing Chris
In the early 90s, however, Singing Chris was discovered by Tony Nicholson of Roadside Production. Under Nicholson’s mentorship Singing Chris steadily developed into a fine recording artist and an excellent stage performer. His first single, “lover”, produced by Tony Nicholson and released on the Roadside Production label earned him good recognition on the local reggae scene. The lyrics of this song highlight the artist respect for women and his support for stable family life. Singing Chris is aiming to make a big impact on the reggae world. He is a star in the making and the world will see him shining in the very near future. Zaro

Singing
Chris can be easily categorized among Jamaica’s most versatile
and talented young reggae artists. His unique sound and energetic stage
performances make him tower above most upcoming talents in reggae today.
Chris is from Farm Town in St Ann and although little is known about
his younger years it is evident that his musical ambitions were establish
from very early. It can be a difficult challenge for a poor youth from
the rural parts of Jamaica to break into the limelight. Singing Chris
experienced this challenge and his humble and somewhat laid back personality
compounded the problem.
