Biography

Keith Anthony Blair (born 31 March 1976), better known by the stage name Anthony B, is a Jamaican DJ and member of the Rastafari movement.

Early life

Blair grew up in rural Clark's Town in the northwestern parish of Trelawny in Jamaica. His deeply religious family life (his mother was a Seventh-day Adventist and his grandmother a Revivalist) imbued him with a profound spirituality. During his youth, his favourite singers were reggae legends Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, musicians who strongly influenced his own style. Peter Tosh's influence can definitely be heard in Anthony B's vocal delivery and revolutionary stance.
Anthony B adopted Rastafari movement beliefs as a teenager, a decision which was not well received by his family. The stubborn and determined Anthony B refused to give up his faith and his dreadlocks and moved to the home of his aunt and uncle in Portmore, St. Catherine. He is a member of the Bobo Ashanti branch of the movement. "Bobo Dreads", as they are known, are recognisable by their long robes and turbans. The strong Afrocentric pride and the other Rastafarian beliefs (or "overstandings" as Rastafarians prefer to call them) are reflected in his songs.

Career

While attending high school, Anthony B debuted as a deejay for the local sound system, Shaggy Hi-Power. In 1988, he befriended reggae artists such as Determine, Mega Banton, Ricky General and Terror Fabulous.
At this point in the reggae industry, singing "slack" songs about women was the popular thing to do. Anthony B did not believe in degrading women and chose to pen politically slanted songs instead. He collaborated with Little Devon and made his debut single "The Living is Hard" on the Wizard label in 1993. Anthony B tried many different producers before joining with Richard Bell, creating hits such as "Fire Pon Rome", "Raid Di Barn", "Rumour", and "Repentance Time". In late 1997, Anthony B released Universal Struggle, followed by a large number of albums since including 1999's Seven SealsSeven Seals1999 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 18 tracks1Conscious Entertainer3:202Free2:433Who Shoot First2:504Family Business2:475Mr. Heartless4:216Cover Your Tracks2:357Conquer All2:518You Move Me3:179Nah Go Hide3:3410Wicked People3:3111Stranger3:3212Dem a Question2:3913Miracle of Love5:0414Hello Mama Africa3:2315Cut Out That3:1416Clean Up2:5917Me Dem 'fraid Of3:0518Our Father3:21, 2003's Street KnowledgeStreet Knowledge20 May 2003 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 15 tracks1God Above Everything3:262Police3:193Two Sevens Clash4:284Revelation3:235Ghetto Man Do That3:256Don't Buss Your Gun3:347Key to Your Heart3:088Wine and Roses3:199Dancing Mood3:0910Change of Weather3:2111Good Cop3:2212Clean Your Heart3:2213Pass the Kutchie3:2614Gun Powder4:0215Stop di War in the Music4:26, 2004's Untouchable which featured collaborations with artists including Wyclef Jean, Snoop Dogg & Bone Crusher, 2005's Black Star plus My Hope, and more recently, Life Over Death (2008).
In January 2013, he was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute after being stopped in Georgia, United States, due to illegally tinted windows in the vehicle in which he was travelling; He subsequently had to cancel several shows in South America as he was not allowed to travel outside the US. Charges were later dropped.
In July 2013 he released Tribute to Legends, an album of cover versions of songs by artists such as Bob Marley, The Maytals, John Lennon, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, and Ini Kamoze; Speaking of the album, he stated "I chose to make a tribute album to firstly show how much these legends influence my music and my life." In 2016, Anthony B released Tears Of Luv on his label Born Fire Music and collaborated with various producer around the world including Evidence Music on his track Life Good.
In May 2020, Anthony B released his 20th studio album titled, King In My CastleKing In My Castle1 May 2020 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 19 tracks1Watch Over I Intro0:232Singing In The Jungle4:163King In My Castle4:234Dubbing Tonight3:285Mr. Officer3:486First Time I Fall5:047Talk Talk Talk4:218Lonely Solider4:069Naah Buy No Friend3:4010What's A Woman's Worth3:2811Never Know3:3512Reggae Soul Sister3:5413Liberator4:0014There's A Light3:2615YO-YO3:4116Memories of The Past3:2017Great China Wall2:5918This Earth is Our Home3:4619I Wanna Know What Love Is4:24.
