Vincent Nap

Bio:

Born Vincent Rhone in Trinityville in the Parish of St Thomas, Jamaica, Vincent Nap has been singing from his childhood days at the family church in Yallahs, St Thomas.

Vincent left Jamaica in the 1970's to join his parents in England. He played professional cricket for Northamptonshire until an injury put a stop to this side of his career.

Inspired by his hero Dennis Brown , as well as other reggae greats, Vincent moved to London to seek his fame and fortune. He went to the Groove Music stable which had acts such as ASWAD, Michael Prophet, Yabby U, Tony tuff, Tommy McCook and King Sounds & the Isralites. At this time Vincent acted as a roadie and chef before moving on to become stage manager for 'The Mighty Sparrow', 'Superblue', and the 'United Sisters'.

Encouraged by friends Vincent formed his own band 'All Welcome Crew' in 1987 and recorded his first two singles, 'Honeysuckle Lady', and 'Need Your Loving', in 1988 both written by him putting Vincent Nap on the reggae map.

Then followed the classics 'Everyday Everyday' and 'Thanks & Praise' which have become anthems, then came a limited edition release called 'Who Goes There', which was also on the soundtrack of the movie 'Monk Dawson'.

Vincent Nap performs around the UK and europe, as well has private parties and corporate bookings.
