Colin Roach
Настоящее имя: Colin Roach
Об исполнителе:
Was born in Jamaica in 1963. From the age of 11, where he started out as a drummer for such record labels as Tuff Gong, Channel One, and Dynamic Sounds, his music career started to take off. Drawing influences from everyone from Stevie Wonder to Sly Dunbar to Dennis Brown, he would go on Jamaica’s version of the Chitlin Circuit: the hotel and stage show tour of Jamaica. As a member of the band Black Culture, he would spend a good amount of time on this circuit. As a member of the Zenith Band, he would be involved in the famous Reggae Sunsplash 1984 at Jarrett Park in Montego Bay. His career changed though, as he moved on to the Tony D’Costa Affair, where he would be encouraged to be a singer. This move altered his place as a musician in Reggae history, as Roach would go go on to lend his vocal stylings to King Jammy’s, Stereo Mar and Stereo One sound systems. Known for his 1986 Dancehall hit “Champion Sound” (which is a cracker of a side over the Kuff aka Magic Moment Riddim), Roach put out a string of 7″s on Jammy’s as well as Moodies as well as being featured on Greensleeves, VP, Super Poer and Hawkeye compilations.
