BIGGIE IRIE was born in the United Kingdom, and at the tender age of three years old, he moved with his mother to the beautiful Island of Barbados. He is best known for his molasses rich voice, and his powerful commandeering stage presence. He started his musical career in 1986 as lead vocalist with the young Barbadian reggae band EXODUS. Since then he has performed and recorded with THE SPLASHBAND, the only other group on the Island, besides Exodus, who dedicated their repertoire solely to reggae music.
