JAH CURE is a great musician who<br />
shows a great affection and love for<br />
his mother who raised him by herself<br />
- Great Mother. We remember him as<br />
a kid running around the Craft Market<br />
where his Mom had a shop selling<br />
hand made stuff to the people who<br />
visited the Island. No one knew that<br />
this young kid would become JAH CURE, one of Jamaica’s greatest entertainers<br />
of all time.<br />
With his latest project ft. MIKKI RAS song called “RUDE BOY SKANKIN”
HUGH <strong>BERES</strong>FORD <strong>HAMMOND</strong> Is a Jamaican Born Entertainer<br />
Singer, Songwriter & Musician who owns his own Record Label,<br />
Recording Studio & Company. A true International Businessman,<br />
who also produces other Artists as well as himself. A very humble<br />
man, anyone who truly knows him will tell you when he is off stage<br />
you would pass him-
-not knowing you just walk by Beres Hammond.<br />
He likes to be around ordinary people, play dominos,<br />
checkers . There are many instances where<br />
he would be driving by the countryside in his<br />
homeland of Jamaica, make a stop at one of the<br />
countryside village shops watch a good game of<br />
dominos and most of the time participate in a<br />
game or checkers until they realized, wait a minute<br />
its Beres. Then someone might repeat,...<br />
“The Beres Hammond”?...right before the village<br />
crowd would show up, Mr. Hammond would pay<br />
his tab, jump in his car and move. Beres performs<br />
to a sold out crowd every time, everywhere<br />
in the world. He is one of the few Reggae<br />
Artists who is loved home and abroad on the<br />
same level. He draws in crowds of all races and<br />
faces, even other big names in show biz, Movie<br />
stars and Reggae stars. His shows makes sense<br />
- with professional settings, the shows are well<br />
structured with disciplined fans who comes out<br />
in his support, nicely dressed when attending his<br />
show. His Brand also edits all shows and he<br />
chooses carefully where and when to perform,<br />
again he sets the precedence of what it is to own<br />
your own business. Virgos are known to be good<br />
business people, he was born 2 8th of August,<br />
1955 in Annotto Bay, Jamaica. He was also<br />
honored by the Jamaican Govt. for his contribution<br />
to the National Musical Art form, the Order<br />
of Jamaica (OJ) .
Beres is truly a boss at what he does, he is a keen listener.<br />
His Players on instruments will tell you if at any given time anyone might make a<br />
slight musical mistake he picks it up and will be the first to look at you. As a<br />
Master Performer Beres is in full control of how he delivers his show on stage<br />
and that’s why people just can’t get enough of his artistry all over the world.<br />
He jumps so high with a youthful energy you would not believe that this man has<br />
been singing since Abe Lincoln was President.<br />
With countless hits after hits he is most definitely the hit maker from Jamaica<br />
the “Master Blaster Crowd Pleaser”. The Girls them Teaser. Personally, if he<br />
should retire there would be a big void in Show Biz as we know it, knowing<br />
there is no Biz like Show Biz like no Biz I Know. The Harmony House CEO keeps<br />
the hits coming at you like the Rising Sun of The Great Plain of St. Jago Della<br />
Vega. Certainly, “The King of Harmony”. — B.O.B. Magazine
Jamaica has never Been Short of good Artist Rising.<br />
When Jahbar I was about 5 years old we CAPTURED him playing an Instrument<br />
in Miami downtown Amphitheatre and actually created a wave,<br />
being the son of a well respected Jamaican musician, it seems natural that<br />
he would fallow in his Father’s footsteps; just 21 years old, has his own label,<br />
creating a wave with his new sound but still remains Roots.<br />
A unique Artist in his own rights with a recognizable voice which is needed<br />
in this time. He already recorded tracks for European & Jamaican Producers,<br />
impressing all with his unique delivery impressing all with his unique<br />
delivery. Jahbar I's love for music developed at quite an early age. He<br />
started on drums, having watched his father George 'Dusty' Miller, drummer<br />
for the legendary Firehouse Crew. Dusty Miller, who is also a producer,<br />
paved the way for Jahbar I. As a toddler, he made numerous appearances<br />
on stage alongside Roots’ luminary Luciano whose official band was The<br />
Firehouse Crew, dancing and 'holding a vibration'. He also accompanied his<br />
father to studio sessions and became part of the 'Firehouse Family. At age<br />
10, he began playing drums on recordings for high-profile ar-tists such as<br />
Gentleman, Sizzla as well as acts from Japan. While in high school, Jahbar I<br />
was a member of a group known as the 'Knock Out Crew'. After the death<br />
of a close friend, he wrote a tribute song (Tribute to Kimali) in his honor; the<br />
tragedy sparked his consciousness even more. In late 2012, he released<br />
his first songs --- I Just Be Me, on the Re-Birth Riddim, and The Chant (I<br />
Fawud), on the Ansa Di Question Riddim. He has done collaborations with<br />
Cape Verde singer Kaya, Holland singer Leah Rosier and African artist Ras<br />
Haitrm. He has since released songs such as --- Many Talking, Bakklefield,<br />
Love A Flow, Nuh Paper Soljah and High Tonic .In January 2015, Jahbar I<br />
made his major show debut at Rebel Salute. Though he has been around<br />
countless artists, Jahbar I finds it difficult to pinpoint any main influence. “I<br />
am a fan of many artists so calling a name would be an endless list. Musically,<br />
I just want to be the best of me”.

AS A YOUNG MAN<br />
JAHBAR I saw the need to<br />
own his own Production.<br />
By producing for himself<br />
JAHBAR I understands that<br />
you sign your product and<br />
not yourself and therefore<br />
he will always have products<br />
as a serious businessman.<br />
He sees himself moving<br />
this great music forward,<br />
strong into the next generation<br />
with his WIZKIL-<br />
FUL and Fire House Label,<br />
no stopping us now. JA-<br />
HBAR I is on the Move.<br />
