Daddy Rings convinced thousands of visitors at the
Journey To Jah Tour 2003 to which he was invited by
Gentleman. Daddy Rings was high acclaimed at
innumerable festivals and live shows during the last
years. He was on stage with Gentleman and The Far
East playing some of his compositions to the German
audience. But who actually is this gangling, super
creative and original Jamaican, whose unique voice
and enormous charisma increasingly enriches the
European scene?
During the last two years Daddy Rings received
attention acting together with Germany´s hip hop
artist like Die Firma, Afrob, Sekou and Germany´s
Reggae Singer Gentleman. Very soon his qualities as
songwriter has been recognized. He wrote six songs
for Gentleman´s Journey to Jah album. Of course such
a great and versatile talent couldn`t be desregardet
for a long time. That`s why you can hear him on
various different projects like: PowPow Celebrate
Riddim and the actual Shanty Town Riddim. Based on
his different activities his next project should
shurely be his fiercely expected new album, where
you can have a foretaste on the recently released
African Glory EP. At the moment the limeted EP is
only available on the webpage www.daddyrings.com.
Also Daddy Rings is at present working his own
productions for his lable African Glory Records.
Before he had the break-through on the continent he
had success in Jamaica and Great Britain:
In 1997 he got even two No. 1 Reggae Hits with Herb
Fi Bun in a combination with Cocoa Tea and the song
Rumours in a Freddie McGregor feature. No wonder
that in the same year his debut album Stand Out was
released worldwide by Gone Clear, in Great Britain
by Greensleeves and in Germany by Ambassa Music/SPV.
Stand Out was the result of a cooperation with
producer Gussie Clarke. Clarke brought Rings`talent
as a songwriter and performer so much to bear, that
Dr. Marshall the well-known sound engineer of the
Music Works Studios just said: “Creativity – he´s
full of it. Right team, right vibes. Can`t miss!”
Years before Daddy Rings already gained a name as a
Sing-J. In Jamaica. For the producer legend King
Jammy he sung 15 songs as well as several tracks for
Andy Livingston.
In 1971 Everold Dwyer, aka Daddy Rings, was born in
Manchester, Jamaica. By the age of 18 he moved to
Kingston where he finished school by the age of 19.
Shortly after that he got discoverd by King Jammy.
Daddy Rings didn`t find it hard go into the music
business, because he was already confident with the
mikrophone during his time at uncle`s Shanti Sound
System.
