Born on January 1, 1991 as Kemar Vershawn Brown, Vershon came from humble beginnings and hails from the volatile community of Cockburn Pen in Kingston, Jamaica. Overcoming hardships as a youth and from a single parent home, Vershon knew from an early age that music was his way out. From as early as primary school he began writing songs and recorded his first song at the age of 9. He attended the Seaward Primary School and the Greater Portmore High School
