Biography:
Alex Marley, the humble singer and guitarist, has become a live concert phenomenon in Jamaica and America where he has been performing for several years. Alex has a rapidly growing global fan base with over 100,000 fans on his MySpace page and over 200,000 views on YouTube. Born on the 29th day of July 1987 in Kingston, Jamaica, he was called to music at a very early age as he started writing songs at age eleven. He grew up listening to various genres of music including artists like his cousins Bob Marley and sons as well as other greats such as Garnett Silk, Burning Spear, Jacob Miller, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Hendrix, Miles Davis, and Dennis Brown.
Alex studied Mass Communications at the University of The West Indies and music at the Edna Manley College of Visual and Performing Arts where he majored in guitar and voice and also plays a total of seven instruments. Some of these instruments are saxophone, piano, steel pan, percussion drums, and bass. Alex also composes all of his own music. On stage during his performances he loves to solo and improvise mixing Jazz and Rock with Reggae, which keeps the audience well entertained. He has also starred TV commercials such as Fanta advertisements, which he helped to script and has been featured in local films and movies.
His music is also played on most radio stations in Jamaica as well as some in the US, UK, South America, and Africa. Some of the major radio stations that have played his music include Irie fm, Hot 105 and BBC Radio. Alex has performed in cities throughout the USA including: San Marcos, Texas Music Theatre (River Reggae Festival), Austin, Texas (TNN news station), South Padre Island, Texas (Claytons Resort), Angels Camp, California (Reggae In The Hills), Nashville, Tennessee (Southern Women’s Convention), University of Miami, Florida Atlantic University, West Palm Beach, Florida (Reef Road), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Chaplin’s Music Café), Atlantic City, New Jersey (The Resorts Casino), Cape May, New Jersey. Performances in Jamaica include: CVM TV, Hype TV, Bob Marley Museum, News Talk 93 fm, Roots FM, Weekenz, Village Café, Redbones, Grants Pen, Seaview Gardens, Waterford, Portmore, and Nine Miles, St Ann. He collected numerous accolades for his performance in commemoration of Haile Selassie’s 116th birthday and was interviewed by The Gleaner, Jamaica’s number one newspaper.
In his music, he speaks love, peace and liberation. He uses these principles to spread the Rastafari message to all the countries of the world. Not only does his lyrics of peace, humility and love spring from his life but it also inspires others, which is very much apparent in his volunteer work with children.
Music aside, there is a lot more to Alex Marley than meets the eye. He is the holder of a 4th degree brown belt in Zendoe Kai Kan Karate and was a member of the 2005 Jamaica National Surfing Team where he represented the country in the World Junior Pros at Huntington Beach, California. His other interests include: Vertical Skateboarding, Motocross, and Football. All of this is somehow incorporated in either his lyrics or his performance and helps to define him both as a person and as a performer. Alex has a calm side and another very energetic aspect to his performance and has developed his own distinctive sound, which sets him apart from other musicians as he brings something new and fresh to the world of entertainment.

Singer: Michelle "Songbird" Gordon Location: Miami Genre: Reggae, R&B and Gospel Influences: Reggae, W. Houston & M. Carey
Biography:
Inspired by vocal legends, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, veteran reggae artist Michelle 'Songbird' Gordon combines classic soul, RnB, gospel and reggae to create her own signature style.
Michelle began singing from the young age of four in Kingston, Jamaica, to the simple rhythm of congo drums and tambourine. Moving to Miami, Florida with her mother, two sisters, and four brothers at the age of seven, Michelle's life was continuously blessed/influenced with music. An artist herself, her mother recorded several singles with reggae singer/producer Barry Biggs, and she inspired and encouraged Michelle. School choir gave Michelle more opportunities for vocal training, music lessons, and performing. She participated in singing competitions and talent shows, and won several awards.
Blessed with the power of a lead singer and the harmonious finesse of a background vocalist, Michelle Gordon's repertoire is impressive. She's opened shows for reggae music's top artists, Skeita Davis, Shabba Ranks, Jimmy Cliff, Coco Tea, Lady Saw and Kashief Lindo. She toured with Michael "Grammy" Rose (of Black Uhuru) as one of his background singers. Michelle performed background vocals on Marcia Griffith's album, Shining Time (released in 2005), and Pressure's album, Coming Back to You (released in 2009).
Michelle's first solo recording, "All The Man That I Need," was produced by Percy Chin from Jah Life Time Records. She went on to record with producer Willie Lindo for Heavy Beat Records and recorded several hit single and a duet with Jimmy Riley entitled "Private Number." She's a two-time Reggae Soca Music Award Nominee Artist for Best Reggae Female Vocalist. Recording with some of reggae's top producers, Percy Chin (Jah Life Records), Joe Fraser Records (Ras I Records), Eno Stafford (Epistar Productions), Heavy Beat Records, and Sly & Robbie, Michelle has earned the right to stand amongst reggae music's legends.
Released on the Meditations Record label, Michelle's debut solo album "Lioness", features 13 tracks that demonstrate her powerful vocal range, melodic talent, and skills writing conscious lyrics. Title track, "Lioness," celebrates the righteous path of the spiritually strong woman. "I'm in You," calls upon everyone to live in universal acceptance and love, seeing ourselves in others.
Michelle Michelle, Gordon's second album, was produced by Anthony Gordon for the Ras-I Productions Label. A revelatory collection of music, Michelle draws on the influences of roots, dancehall, lovers and urban reggae, with roots inspired "Jah Is Always Around" and "Father Help Me," and British styled lovers reggae, "Your Love In Me" and "Hurry Home Baby". Soul inspiring and conscious, Michelle Michelle appeals to an international audience.
A truly evolutionary artist, Michelle's music pays tribute to some of the greatest musical geniuses of all time, continuing their inspired work. In her songs today, Michelle blends musical styles and genres, relating to people worldwide. Songbird holds nothing back in her single for Rimshot Productions, "I Just Want to Love You". Cradled by a lover's rock reggae riddim, with a true R&B sultry soulful feel, Michelle's passionate voice carries listeners deep into the heart of the music. Look for her new video, "I Just Want to Love You," to follow shortly.
Another new single, produced by Fitzroy Francis for the Mightyful13 label, entitled "Essence Of Love" debuted mid Sept. 2012 where it quickly moved up the charts attaining #1 status on the well respected Foundation Radio NY Reggae Top 30 Chart. While planning to follow up her #1 hit with the Mightyful 13 label.
In June 2014, She released the single "A Woman Called Moses" produced by Fitzroy Francis, Dennis Stone & Tuviel Levi for Mightyful13 Records. The song is dedicated to the memory of Harriet Tubman and all the women who have devoted their lives to the cause of freedom all over the world.
In October 2014, She released the new tune "All I Need".
Michelle "Songbird" Gordon is also back in the studio working on her upcoming third solo album with the Gold Record winning team at BigUp Entertainment/Vybetribe Productions. No doubt, the "Songbird's" best work is yet to come. More Musical Blessings!
