Sanchez
(AOR-38)
|
TRACK
LISTING: |
Born in Kingston, Jamaica and christened Kevin Anthony
Jackson, Sanchez grew up in the Stony Hill and Waterford
communities. While attending High School, he would go to
parties where sound systems like Rambo, Small Axe and
Crystal would play. He soon became the selector for Rambo
Sound System, a system on which many of his close DJ
colleagues such as Flourgan, Lizard and Red Dragon also
worked out. It provided the necessary mileage for the young
Kevin, who had by this time been re-christened Sanchez by
his friends. Sanchez soon began voicing for top record
producers in the business namely Redman (Redman
International); Livingston Riley (Techniques); and Fattis
(Exterminator). In 1987 Sanchez's first single - "Lady In
Red" was released making it to the number 19 slot on the JBC
record chart. In 1988 Sanchez recorded his first hit - The
Winston Riley produced "Loneliness" which is his biggest hit
to date, both locally and overseas. In that same year he was
voted "Singer Of the Year", "Best Upcoming" and "Best New
Artist"; his single "Loneliness" was also voted "Song Of The
Year". It was also the year that he made his first
appearance on ReggaeSunsplash, earning some five encores.
Sanchez has also scored with songs such as "Wild
Sanchez","Love Mi Lover Bad" ( a duet with Flourgan), "One
In A Million" and many more. Sanchez returns in top form
with his new album Perlious Time. Produced by King Jammy's
son John John. The title track "Perilous Time" and his
versions of the classics songs "I Who Have Nothing" and
"Never Ending World" are sure to garner accolades and radio
play from both the R&B and Reggae formats.
