REGGAEXCLUSIVE’S DEEJAYS/SINGJAYS SPOTLIGHT
Fire Chess, born Wayne
Lewis in Jamaica, is on
his way to becoming a great
Reggae Artist. His voice is so
distinctive that he is already
being labeled as ‘the voice’ by
some of radio’s DJs that have
been blessed to see his career
glow. I Wayne, along with
other fellow artists gave Fire
Chess the push he needed to
“burn his fire”. His first
recorded track entitled
“Goodness of My Heart”,
recorded by famed producer
Mr. Ansel Collins introduced
Fire Chess to the DJ’s and
sounds in his area.
Fire Chess has been
blessed to grace many stages
with top artists. He performed
at Portmore’s biggest annual
show featuring I Wayne,
Gyptian, Bascom X, Beenie
Man, and many others. He also
performed on ‘Sting’ and at the
Toronto Koolhaus doing his hit
song ‘Mama and Papa’ with I
Wayne, the Koolhaus fans
blazed with energy and
excitement. The same hit
track was written by I Wayne
and Fire Chess and can be
found on I Wayne’s Lava
Ground album. Fire Chess is
now promoting his new hit
single ‘No Guns’, on the ‘Signs
of the Time’ riddim. In
between performing at shows,
Fire Chess is also laying down
tracks for his future album-
