Don Carlos, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Everton Blender, Geo Music and Glen Washinton.
Don Carlos (born Euvin Spencer) Legendary Reggae Artist was born and raised in one of the most deprived regions of Western Kingston, Jamaica, in a district notoriously known as Waterhouse, which incidentally is also a musical spawning ground for many of Reggae’s greatest ever talents, such as King Tubby, Black Uhuru, The Jays, Junior Reid and King Jammy, to name but a few. Don Carlos started his singing career in 1973 as one of the original members of Black Uhuru, alongside other founding members, Garth Dennis who later went on to joining the Wailing Souls, and Derrick Ducky Simpson. As part of the trio, Don sang lead on the highly-acclaimed Love Crisis album, for producer Prince Jammy in 1977.

Warrior King, in the year 2000, pulled off an unforgettable feat with “Virtuous Woman,” a song which went number 1 on local and international charts. This led to the Rastafarian being one of the most sought after singjays.
