Richie Spice

Richie Spice
Yesterday I mentioned Richie Spice, due to play Jamaica’s Sunsplash in August. I referred to him as an emerging artist, which to me is true I suppose, but he has been around a while now. He was born in 1971 meaning he definitely moved on to long trousers and his bio supports it. It was six years ago that his debut record was released.


Richie Spice is part of a rich musical family. All three of his brothers are reggae performers including Spanner Banner, Snatcher Dogg and the most well known, Pliers of Chaka Demus and Pliers fame. He is well and truly forging his own position in the industry though, evidenced by his inclusion in Sunsplash.

While many artists mix chatting and singing within songs Richie Spice makes a conscience decision to keep the two separate. He sings some wonderful reggae songs on occasions while in others he takes a more dominant position showing his talent as a DJ and his versatility as an artist. This sort of approach has the ability to win over those with a specific taste. I know some won’t appreciate the Deejaying side of things, so look out for his singing.

He has released two albums. The first was Universal in 2000 which includes the now popular hit Earth A Red Run and the most recent album was from 2004 titled Spice in Your Life on Fifth element records.

You can download songs on the Fifth Element Records site http://www.fifthelementrecords.com/music.htm or check out the Richie Spice Myspace
