Jim Kelly

Jamaican artist, Jim Junior Hosang, more popularly known as Jim Kelly, is intent on making his mark on the Reggae/Dancehall scene. Hailing from Christiana, Manchester, this young man has been dabbling with music since 2006. He made his first mark as a song writer, penning lyrics for popular Dancehall artist, Mad Anju, while simultaneously producing tracks for him, Mr. Pepper, Kalado, Egg Nogg and others on his then;  Board House Record Label.

When the opportunity presented itself, Jim began to invest in, and manage Kalado. He played the role of investor/manager for approximately three years, but then began to pursue a career as an artist himself. He received a lot of encouragement from his eight year old daughter who said; “Dad why don’t you go back to doing music and be the artist because you actually sound good?” Further encouragement came from producer J Canon, of J Canon Records, who told him “he has a good voice so he could do it.”

Two years later, Jim and his cousin, Dwain Robinson, changed the name of their record label from Board House to Real Linx and began carving out a position for Jim Kelly in the Jamaican music industry. He recorded several songs, the first of which was a collaboration with Kalado, titled; “on and on.” Though the record did not catapult Jim into the mainstream, it gave him some much needed attention from key players who began to notice his writing skills and professionalism. The second release was a hardcore Dancehall song called “nuh trust nobody,” featuring another young artist, Bastic. Upon its release, “nuh trust nobody” immediately gained traction and began to get steady rotation at most of the major street dances. It opened several doors for Jim who invested heavily in its promotion. Jim Kelly recently dropped another song, this one with singer Kamsha Morris, and already he is getting positive feedback from music critics.

When he is not recording and promoting music, Jim stays busy by doing vocal training at the Edna Manley School for the Arts (located in Kingston, Jamaica). He also spends a lot of time with his children.

Bio written by www.mjent.net

The combination of humility, charm, vibrant passion for music, respectfulness and appreciation for life and the universe, are only some of the facets of Anaicon’s personality that appeals to anyone who comes in contact with him.

Born on September 27 1993, in St. Ann, Jamaica, and named Oshaine DeVaine Anderson, aka Anaicon. Anaicon is a Rastafarian who accepted his name through divine revelation. He has been called to utilize his talents to create and perform Reggae Music for the edification and upliftment of not only the oppressed and those claiming African descent, but for anyone that can hear and perceive.

Oshaine attended Salem Basic School, Discovery Bay All Age, Ocho Rios High School and later St. Monica’s College. Oshaine remembers Ms. Lawrence as an instrumental force in his life, when in grade 6 at Discovery Bay All Age she encouraged him to read avidly and develop his skills as a performing artist. Anaicon took her advice and tutoring. He gravitated toward music and in 2007 began to write, sing, and dj.

His interests includes football and music. At Ocho Rios High School he played on the football team which vied with other schools for the Dacosta Cup. He continued to prepare himself for a music career throughout highschool.

Anaican entered the Magnum Kings and Queens talent competition in 2013 where he was a formidable and impressionable contestant. He advanced to the “Face Off” where he was eliminated due to his positive lyrical content and the refusal to bash fellow contestants to gain popularity. Anaicon does not believe in or support artists lyrically attacking each other in the name of music. He approached Osujah Records to prepare demos of his music where he was welcomed and embraced. At Osujah he found the portal to launch his music to the world. His first song was appropriately named “True Identity” which describes him, “True.” He also released several songs on Osujah’s Promo Album “Vibez in the Sun.” Tracks includes “Cant Tame I,” It’s Loving,” “Rockstone” and most recently a show of appreciation for Jamaica with “Sweet Paradise” on the Bummin Ball Riddim. Anaicon is currently working in the studios to complete his debut album “RebelWise.” The album should be completed by the end of October. One track from the album “Silent River” has been released.

As a young talent, Anaicon’s dedication, discipline, positivity and high moral standards are only a few of the assets he applies to his life and his music. Osujah presents to the world, a young man who is a solid voice for his peers and elders; Anaicon.

Yeeh It is I De Alozade’, sounds familiar right?, well those are the popular introductory words by one of the most talented deejay coming out of Kingston, Jamaica, Michael Sterling aka Alozade. The young deejay erupted on the music scene in 1999 with a song called ‘Street Dreams’ recorded on the Crash rhythm for Byron Murray’s In the Streets Records label. The song did well on the local charts and signaled the arrival of this gifted deejay in the dancehall arena.

Armed with his ‘throaty’ voice, unique toasting and ‘poster- boy’ image, Alozade seized the initiative and took the dancehall by storm, consistently unleashing hits after hit. Prior to that, having had a burning desire to make it in the music business as a deejay, the former Ardenne Extension High student voiced his debut single ‘Top Of The Line’ for the Stone Love label. He then did ‘Mr. Mention’, for the African Star label and gained much needed recognition for those efforts.

It was shortly after, that he linked up with Byron Murray at In the Streets Records where he recorded the big hit song ‘Sweet Dreams’ The song propelled the young deejay into stardom as it became very popular throughout the dancehall circles. Alozade showed that he was no one hit wonder by scoring another hit song for In the Street Records, this time with a song titled ‘Under Mi Skunk’.

In the year 2000 he teamed up with producer Louis ‘”Flabba” Malcom and did the monster hit song ‘Bad Man Nuh Pet Gal’ on the ‘infectious’ hurricane rhythm. That song created waves for the summer of that same year both locally and overseas. ‘Bad Man Nuh Pet Gal’ up to present time, is seen as an anthem in the dancehalls as it never seizes to draw a big response wherever it is played.

Alozade has always been a hit with the teens, as he explained, “I guess this appeal is a natural one because they have been seeing a lot of overseas artistes and just tell themselves that this is what they are looking for. When an artist can command a high level of respect from teenagers, it’s considered a plus to his or her career. An artist has to keep reaching out for the larger market. The teens contribute to a large share of the market.”

Alozade kept the ‘Hit Train’ rolling with a song titled ‘Jamaica’, done on the King Of Kings label where he expresses his love for his country and ‘More Woman’ on the C J label. His repertoire of hit songs over the years has kept him in high demand to perform at major events both locally and overseas. He has made his mark performing at several stage shows right across Jamaica including top events such as Sumfest, Sting and Champions in Action. Alozade has also performed extensively in North America, the Caribbean and Europe, which he toured in 2004 performing in countries such as Italy, France, Hungary, Belgium, Norway and Switzerland.

In 2004, he ventured into the world of music production and launched his label called South Block. Like King Midas with the golden touch, he reaped success on his first project which was the Chrome rhythm. Alozade, the producer, scored two number one hits on the rhythm with ‘Inna Har Heart’ by Capleton and ‘Keeping It Jiggy’ by Elephant man.

Alozade soon followed up with another successful production, this time a ‘one drop’ rhythm called “Bingie Trod”. A song from the rhythm, Jah Cure’s ‘Hi Hi’ hit number one on BBC’s Reggae Charts and other songs such as ‘All Day All Night’ by Richie Spice and Buju Banton’s ‘Closer To You’ created a big impact in Europe and Japan.

In the latter part of 2005, Alozade stormed back in the lime light as a deejay with the monsters hit song ‘Bad out Deh’. The song was recorded on the ‘Baddest Thing’ rhythm’ for producer Richard ‘Shams’ Brownie. ‘Bad out Deh’, which features singjay Chico and Kiprich, is presently creating a stir throughout the world. It is a ‘must play’ at local and overseas dancehall events and has elevated the artiste once again into the ‘big times’. “I feel real good about the success of the song, it has done a lot for me where my career is concerned,” he said. “My fans love it and I feel good about that.”

Following the success of the song “Bad out Deh”, Alozade has also been creating a storm on stage. He blew away his audience performing at the recently held Asylum Anniversary, Stone Love Anniversary, Camp Fire, Western Jamboree and Fire Links Anniversary show among other top events.

New releases such as ‘Feminine Gender’ on Don Corleon’s ‘Sweat’ rhythm, ‘I feel The Pain’ on the popular Gangsta Rock rhythm and ‘Screw Face’ on the ‘Punaany – Rebirth’ rhythm is also doing very well for the artiste. “For the year 2006 and beyond, I will be hitting my fans with some more ‘wicked’ tunes so just keep listening,” Alozade said.
in 2008 he gave you songs such as My Intentions on the out deh riddim on the SOUTHBLOCK ICON’S label One Dagger on the Mento Vibes riddim produced by Enrapture,Moses Law produced by Mario aka mad scientist on the Muzic Factrory label and Its Burning featuring Baby pink on the Gargoyle riddim on the Bumb Rush label.
