In his formative years, the artist found inspiration from Otis Redding’s music and the incomparable Peter Tosh. When Anthony B left his hometown and set out to make his fateful mark on Kingston’s music scene in 1992, he rebuked the trend of girl and gun lyrics popular at that time. He remained faithful to words of spiritual consciousness and social conviction, a tendency he has never strayed from throughout his career.

Anthony B’s rich vocals and audacious lyrics carry consistency and substance, which are both rare in an industry affected by trends towards the extreme in its content. Internationally his fanbase has grown due to his engaging stage presence and the universal concerns of suffering and salvation in his lyrical delivery. As the artist explains, “The greatest thing about reggae music is that it’s about concepts and ideas; you are speaking to people on issues they live and can relate to.” Recording and performing live continue Anthony B’s legacy as he proves himself to be one of Reggae’s most prolific and engaging artistes, an electrifying performer whose music engages the public’s social conscience.
