Biography
Second generation reggae star Tarrus Riley was born Omar Riley on April 27, 1979 in Bronk, New York. The son of Jimmy Riley, Tarrus Riley was brought up in Kingston Jamaica where he absorbed the traditional reggae music and became an adherent of Rastafarianism. He began working as a DJ, adopting Tarrus as a stage name at that time, and became proficient enough on keyboards and drums that he began composing his own songs. His debut album, 2004âs Challenges established his ability to stay true to Reggaeâs roots while still incorporating modern sounds. His follow-up, 2006âs Parables would give him a huge success with âSheâs Royalâ, a track that won him the 2008 Reggae Academy Awards for both Best Reggae Song and Most Popular Song. 2009âs Contagious spun off more hits, and in 2010 his single âProtect the Peopleâ went to number 1 in Jamaica. He toured Europe consistently, often plying reggae festivals, and issued albums like 2012âs Mecoustic and 2013âs To the Limit. Though he would release numerous successful singles in the years following 2014âs Love Situation, he would not put out another LP until 2020âs Healing which included the single âLighterâ.
