Anthony B
Blair grew up in rural Clark’s Town in the northwestern parish of Trelawny in Jamaica. During his youth, his favorite singers were reggae legends Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, musicians who strongly influenced his own style. Peter Tosh’s influence can definitely be heard in Anthony B’s vocal delivery and revolutionary stance.
Anthony B adopted Rastafari movement beliefs as a teenager, a decision which was not well-received by his family.Determined Anthony B refused to give up his religion and moved to the Kingston suburb, Portmore where he was able to perfect his artistic talents.
In 1988, he befriended reggae artists such as Determine, Mega Banton, Ricky General and Terror Fabulous.He hooked up with Little Devon the Half Pint sound-a-like singer and made his debut single “The Living is Hard” on the Wizard label in 1993. Anthony B worked with many different producers and finally teamed up with Richard “Bello” Bell, creating hits such as “Fire Pon Rome”, “Raid Di Barn”, “Rumour”, and “RepentanceTime”.
Anthony B’s 1996 debut album entitled Real Revolutionary in the U.K. and So Many Things in the U.S. was highly acclaimed in the reggae community.In late 1997, Anthony B released Universal Struggle which showed that he had a consistent, high-caliber talent.
