Like so many of jamaican Hit-Makers, Spectacular is a product of the ghetto (born January 26th, 1976 in Kingston, Jamaica). He hails from the Kencot area of Kingston and was educated at the Maxfield Park Primary- and Norman Manley High-School. It was from the street corner that he graduated to start hanging out at the Penthouse recording facility, after school. In 1993 he made his first major stage performance after he had passed an audition for the "Yard and Broad" promoted, StarWave 93, at Fort Clarence/ Jamaica.
