Conroy Smith

On March 28th, 1966 in Canterbury, Jamaica, CONROY SMITH was born. Smith's birth ushered in a new era of reggae music that he is determined to lead with his svelte voice.
With a style and grace not seen anywhere else in the reggae music industry, Smith's first album, "Open Your Eyes" left the world singing along with him. Smith began his career at the tender age of 8 as a deejay and singer for a sound system called "Observer". After winning a local talent show, he decided to take the business more seriously.

Another big break came for Smith when, at the age of 15, he sang at Montego Bay High School with Nadine Sutherland and Junior Tucker. He so impressed Sutherland with his abilities that she suggested he go to the Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston. She also suggested that Smith relocate to Kingston to actively pursue his music career. It wasn't until six years later that Smith took Sutherland's advice. It was one of the hardest moments of his life when he left his mother to live in Kingston. Within the next year CONROY SMITH became a household reggae name in Jamaica and though-out the world when he performed on the first ever Sting (4 De Hard Way) in 1988 with his big hit "Dangerous".

Smith's first recording was "Indian Lady" which was featured on an album produced by George Pang. The album was an all-star affair which featured such artists like SuperCat and Frankie Paul. As the first track on Smith's first solo outing will attest, "I'm Ready", CONROY SMITH was fully ready to take his place in the world of reggae music.
