Pam Hall is a Jamaican reggae singer whose career began in the 1970s.
Hall recorded as a solo artist from the mid-1970s as well as providing backing vocals for several other artists including Jimmy Cliff, Judy Mowatt, Beres Hammond, Dennis Brown, and Peter Tosh, sometimes along with her sister Audrey. Among her earliest releases were “Creation”, a duet with Orville Wood as Pam & Woody, and “You Should Never Do That”, a duet with Tinga Stewart.
Her 1986 single “Dear Boopsie” topped the reggae charts and reached number 54 on the UK Singles Chart. Her first album, Perfidia, was released in 1987.
She had further hits on the reggae charts in the 1990s with her version of “I Will Always Love You”, “Young Hearts Run Free”, and “You Are Not Alone”. She continued to be in demand for backing vocals, working with Toots Hibbert, and Ziggy Marley in the 1990s. She went on to release a string of solo albums on VP Records.
In the 1990s she filled in for Judy Mowatt in the I Threes, joining the group in the decade that followed.
In 1976, Pam recorded in her own right for her performance on a duet with Tinga Stewart, ‘You Should Never Do That’. In 1986 her quest for recognition as a soloist came to fruition with the release of ‘Dear Boopsie’, which topped the reggae chart and crossed over into the mainstream, spending four weeks at the lower end of the UK Top 50. She followed the hit with ‘How Glad I Am’, produced by Danny Browne at Music Mountain, but in spite of suitable promotion, she was unable to emulate her earlier success. Her debut album, Perfidia, took its title from the Phylis Dillon classic. While pursuing her aspirations towards a career as a soloist she continued to provide backup vocals for many of Jamaica’s top performers, including Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Dennis Brown, Jimmy Cliff, and Gussie Clarke. Following a period of anonymity, she re-emerged in 1994 with the release of ‘Missing You Baby’. She followed the hit with her interpretation of ‘I Will Always Love You’, inspired by the phenomenal success of Whitney Houston’s version of the Dolly Parton composition. Hall’s version, recorded for Joe Frasier, topped the reggae chart and was followed by the equally successful ‘Young Hearts Run Free’. Although a competent DJ in her own right in 1995, she also performed in combination with General Degree for ‘Lonely Days’, which provided the basis and title for the Nardo Ranks hit several months later. In 1996 she joined the growing number of popular reggae artists in Japan, where she released Magic, which included her Jamaican hits alongside a version of Toni Braxton’s ‘Unbreak My Heart’.
She received the Kool 97FM Live Tuesday Lifetime Award for her outstanding contribution to music on Nov. 19, 2019.
Her single “Make it Up to You” in 2016 took the No. 21 position on the New York Reggae Chart. She released a string of solo albums on VP Records and her talents as a backup artist continued to be in high demand.
Hall continues to perform at concerts and major music festivals around the globe. She’s still adding to add to her extensive catalog of music and is particularly popular in Japan. She likes to stay active and can often be found participating in 5K runs.

Hezron Clarke was born and raised during his earlier years in the District of Moy Hall District, St. James, Jamaica, before migrating to the U.S.A. Whilst in Jamaica; Hezron developed his talent, being an ardent member of his church choir. His musical gift was evident to his family and friends who facilitated its development however possible. After his migration, Hezron continued to expand on the dexterity of his vocals by naturally transitioning into singing R&B, but was not entirely satisfied within that genre, as his calling was deeply embedded in the rich Reggae music of his homeland. As such, he was compelled to return to Jamaica to fulfill his true calling of being an outstanding Reggae artiste.
Hezron has been compared to Reggae greats such as Beres Hammond and international star, Luther Vandross. Hezron, can be defined as one of the most charismatic, consistent, and chart-topping reggae artists around.

Born in the parish of St. Mary Jamaica, to Inez Aikens and Vivian Brown, Andrew Brown aka Droop Lion grew up in the tough, gritty shanties of Kingston. He lost his mother to gun violence when he was just nine months old, a savage act that robbed the young man of a mother’s love.
He turned to music to express himself and make a spiritual connection with the universe. At a young age under the guidance of his grandmother, he vowed to stick to the conscious path and not compromise in order to achieve success.
“My music is down to earth and cultural. There’s always a message in it. It’s like a medicine to society’s sickness,” Droop Lion says of his particular brand of music.
