HEZRON

Hezron, the consummate artiste; adored by females and highly respected by males. His music can be described as enchanting, mesmerizing, soothing, yet militant and hard hitting. His ability to simultaneously charm, captivate and motivate his fans, has definitely cemented his place as a rare and exceptional talent.

Hezron Clarke was born and raised during his earlier years in the District of Moy Hall District, St. James, Jamaica. Hezron developed his talent being an ardent member of his church choir and his musical gift was evident to his family and friends who facilitated its development, however possible. Hezron continued to expand on the dexterity of his vocals by travelling abroad and naturally transitioning into singing R&B. As his calling was deeply embedded in the rich Reggae music of his homeland, he was compelled to return to Jamaica to fulfil his true calling of being an outstanding Reggae artiste.

Hezron began unleashing a series of hit singles that instantly garnered serious attention within the local music industry. Singles such as “So In Love,” which was also a part of Tad’s Record’ Singers Compilation CD, ‘Hit List’ and VP Records’ “Strictly the Best Vol. 41.” The song also made a significant impact on the overseas charts, particularly on the South Florida and New York Top 20 charts, where it spent 25 weeks on those charts. It was also a success on the Jamaican charts as it spent 2 weeks at number one on the “Richie B’s” Music Countdown chart.

Over the last 6 years, Hezron has been locking the stage show circuit in Jamaica, delivering one captivating performance after another. Hezron has performed on numerous stages including Capelton’s “St. Mary Mi Come From” in 2009, Reggae Sumfest in July 2009, 2010 and 2011; also Hennessey Artistry in Barbados in 2010. Hezron also had the pleasure of serenading the contestants of the Miss Jamaica World 2009 Pageant and more, too numerous to mention. The artiste has been a regular on the local and regional entertainment calendar making his mark and impressing massive audiences and giving them their money’s worth. Hezron’s performance at the 2012 staging of the “greatest one night reggae show”- “STING”, has left no doubts in the minds of the public as to his versatility, and vocal dexterity, as he effortlessly was able to engage and captivate a crowd, notoriously known as the “toughest set of reggae/dancehall patrons” to appease. Hezron has cemented the fact publicly, to the entire music fraternity locally and internationally, that he is an outstanding performer and recording artiste.

In 2011, Hezron released “Forever and Always” (Jahness Riddim) produced by Courtney “Whatage” of Whatage Productions. It was an instant hit. Other noticeable singles released by Hezron include: “Jamming Till A Morning,” “Take Your Clothes Off,” “We Shall Find A Way” (which went to number one on the Richie B’s chart – during the State of Emergency in May 2010) and “Two Places” featuring Shaggy. In 2012, Hezron released yet another exceptional single “Can’t Come Between” (Heart And Soul Riddim) and “We Can Feel Alive” (Digital Love Riddim), both for Notice Production. “Can’t Come Between” has been creating ‘tsunami’ waves on the local and international music scene, as it has received heavy rotation, which has catapulted the single to the Number One position on many charts across the globe, including the “DaFlava” Reggae Chart out of Canada, other charts in the USA for two months, and even topping charts on the continent of Africa, in countries such as Senegal and Gambia to name a few. His most recent releases include “Those Days” (released late 2012), “Hussle Afi Gwaan” and “Can’t Tek Di Pressure.” These are three great tracks which will be released on his upcoming album, “The Life I Live(d)” set to be released in May 2014 by none other than Tad’s Record, a label which Hezron has worked with in the past and continue to have the greatest respect and admiration. He states that this project has been a labour of love, sweat and tears – “love for the people who assisted me (‘deh by mi side and encourage mi’), the musician dem, the producers the radio and other media personnel; sweat for the late night hours at the studio and ‘bruk’ pocket; and tears, when I see how people really ‘apprecilove’ my music and the love they feel when they hear it.”

Hezron can be defined as one of the most charismatic, consistent and chart topping reggae artiste around. His determination, persistence, and discipline in staying true to who he is as an artiste and the true reggae music will ultimately take him to that pinnacle, where he so absolutely deserves to be.
