Shakir Campbell, better known as Quality, is a dancehall recording artist. He was born in Kingston, Jamaica and grew up around the Red Hills Road community, where he now resides. Quality attended St. Richards Primary and Pembroke Hall High School. He also went to the Leap Center, a Heart Trust Training Institute, where he studied music and was the lead singer for the Leap Band. In addition to being a singer, Quality also plays drums.
He recorded his first song at the age of 13 for the veteran DJ Daddy Lizzard. After graduating from the Leap Center, Quality worked in the construction industry and then with the Power Services Company. While working with the power company, he got a call from his former music teacher at Leap, Mr. Michael Reynolds, who invited him to do some recordings for his label. Both men have been working together ever since and have even entered in an official production and management deal.
To date, Quality has four songs out on the Sekimhaj Label, which is owned and operated by Michael Reynolds. His single Stronger, which was released approximately three months ago has literally become an anthem in certain inner-city communities.
