Michelle Downer (born 1 April 1978), commonly known as D’Angel, is a Jamaican reggae singer, actress, model, and brand ambassador. She has also given motivational speeches. In 2017, she released No Worries with Spice. The Gleaner calls her the First Lady of dancehall.
Born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, Downer sang in high school, modeled internationally in the 1990s, and returned home to Jamaica in 2002. D’Angel has an associate degree in Accounting and Management. She considers 2004 and 2005 to be her “breakout years,” according to The Gleaner.
D’Angel had a celebrity marriage to singer, Beenie Man, in 2006 and they recorded the single One Man together. D’Angel and Beenie Man had a son together and split up in 2010, later reunited in 2011. They later divorced.
In 2013, D’Angel was banned for 5 years from performing at Sting by Isaiah Laing of Supreme Promotions. The reason for the ban was due to her impromptu performance of a “lyrical battle” with Ninja Man at Sting 30 that Laing considered “raunchy.” She was also criticized for her choice of clothing at the event by Billboard, which described her outfit as “provocative” and “revealing.”
In 2017, she went on tour in the United States with the theme of “We Can Survive” and addressed violence and crime through her song of the same name.
She was a performer at the 27th IRAWMA Awards in New York and a nominee for Best Female Deejay. She was honored as Singjay of 2008 at the 2009 EME Awards and was a performer and presenter at the 28th IRAWMA Awards in New York, where she was nominated for Best Female Deejay. She won Digicel’s People’s Choice Award at the Style Observer Awards 2008. In 2017, she won the award for “Female Artiste of the Year” from the Entertainment Distinction Awards. She twice performed at Reggae Sumfest, Jamaica’s largest reggae festival. The Gleaner praised her 2016 performance at “Galiday Bounce” in Ewarton.
Her song Stronger reached the top of Jamaica’s music video charts. In 2017, she recorded the song “Whipped”, a response to Dexta Daps’ song Owner.
Born, Warren Gladstone Williams, in the St. Ann’s Bay hospital on April 24, 1972; Future Troubles a.k.a. Future Fambo is extremely proud of the fact that he hails from the “Garden Parish” of St. Ann, along with some legendary icons of Jamaican music.
After he launched his career as Future Troubles, dancehall singer Warren Gladstone Williams changed his name to Future Fambo and hit big with “Bloodclaute Song.” Born and raised in Saint Ann Parish in Jamaica, Fambo first hit in the mid-’90s, winning a local talent show week after week with his song “Kung Fu.” The “Kung Fu” single was released on the Roof International label in 1994 under the name Future Troubles, and then further singles were released on Shocking Vibes, Digital-B, and Ghetto Youth Productions. In 1996 he cut a collaborative 45 with Bounty Killer, “Kill a Sound Boy,” for VP Records. Songwriting and production work, along with some collaborative singles, would bring the singer to 2006 when he changed his name to Future Fambo. The hits “Forget About It” and “Wrong Hall” were released under this new name, then in 2010 he collaborated with Beenie Man on the hit single “Rum & Redbull.” More singles on labels like Freddie McGregor’s Big Ship followed, and then in 2015, he released “Bloodclaute Song,” a dancehall hit so big it attracted Sean Paul, Beenie Man, and Demarco to the remix.
Dancehall artist Future Fambo has disclosed that he’s dealing with severe diabetes, explaining his noticeable weight loss.
In a recent Instagram video, where the artist promoted his availability for dubplates, some fans questioned Fambo’s appearance. On Friday, he sought to clear the air.
“Nothing happened to me I have sugar [sugar—the Jamaican term for diabetes] diabetes…for all who care about me am ok,” he wrote in a brief statement posted to his Instagram page.
He also dispelled rumors that any form of hard drug abuse was what resulted in the weight loss.
“They say I am coke out. In cause I die, one someone I know going to be at my [funeral] is me…no me dead?,” he asked lightheartedly. “I know I lost nuff pound, an it may look a way but no boy are [or] gal in Brazil can not [say] me beg them nothing so who cares?“ he added.
It has been a rough couple of months for the Rum & Redbull deejay who lost his 85-year-old mother, who also suffered from diabetes and had lost a leg.
“Please go easy on the drinking. You can reverse this if you do the right things. Sending you healing energy fam,” a fan said.
“Take care of your health…health is wealth,” another said.
“Don’t watch bad mind sickness is not an easy road praying for speedy recovery May God continue to bless and keep you,” said another concerned supporter.
