Alwyn Christopher "Corkit" Harriman aka Mr. Grenada was born in Florida, St. Johns and raised in Morne Fendue, a small area around St. Patricks. He spends most of his time in another area close to Morne Fendue call, Rosehill.  He refers to Rosehill as his 'Liming Area' and the people, 'his people'.  Mr. Grenada always had a love & passion for music, partying and seeing people dance and have a good time.  Growing up he was known simply as "Corkit", few knew his real name.
 
 
Corkit got his inspiration from listening to artists like Lover, Cass and Cuck Gengyi back in the days in Florida, St Johns, where he also spent time growing up.  Inspector is his favorite Soca artist and also has been a musical inspiration. At 11 yrs old, Corkit started singing in school to show off his talents.  If you ask him how he got the name "Mr. Grenada" he would simply say, "father god gave me that name, he told me to choose this name".  As simple as it sounds, he also says the music he makes is deeply inspired by many things he sees and connect with in the land.  For an example, the beaches, the mountains and the people.  His occupation is repairing the roads on the country-side in Grenada, so as he goes along, he gets a lot of inspiration. 
 
 
 

In the 80s and early 90s, he followed the late great DJ Charlie, his mentor. He got more musical inspiration being around DJ Charlie than any other person in his life.  Mr. Grenada had a great opportunity to listen to a large variety of Calypsonians from other regions, including Trinidad, Barbados, etc as well as other genre of music he wouldn’t have been exposed to. DJ Charlie was a very established DJ in Grenada in those days and had access to all types of music.  He said, "DJ. Charlie, lived about 2 minutes down the road from me, so I was in his place all the time, just soaking up all that music.  I used to go out with him, me and him and them boys and them to all the parties, I learned a lot about music being around him, and I learned to appreciate quality music"
 
 
Mr. Grenada also traveled & spent a couple of years in England in the mid 90s, where he also obtained some musical inspiration.  His signature saying in his music is "Bling Bling". The first songs he ever wrote were called, "push wood in the fire Corkit" and "Don't touch the crown", unfortunately, these songs were never recorded. Maybe sometime in the future, they will be recorded & released, so stay tuned!
 
 
Early 2012, Mr. Grenada began penning a few releases for the Carnival season and wanted to make his presence felt.  He said, "I started writing songs like, 'Ganja & Tobacco', and 'Throw the water', I know it was going to be hard to get the people's ear, since I was unknown and it was my very first year, but the few people that did hear the music, loved it".  He got some radio play with his songs, "Ganja & Tobacco" and "Throw to water".  He also had a very nice one dedicated to the ladies, "Let me be the one", he said, "Let me be the one was a big big tune, but again, I was unknown, and it didn't get into the ears of the people.  But I got some spins on the radio and my songs heated up the local scene, so that was a positive".  You can listen to all those songs in the Audio/video section of the site.  2012 has proven to be a learning experience, and he has dedicated the rest of 2012 in perfecting his craft and coming a lot stronger the following years. 
 
 
"The music is something I am very passionate about, I take it seriously, and next yr and the following yrs, I am coming very strong, more disciplined with more experience, one year is all I needed.  I am determined to give something to make the people think about.  I would like to be a force, make an impact, be a name that my fans and peers respect and appreciate.  Having a few hundred people hear my music (which is the hard part), not only in Grenada, but the rest of the World is what I aim for; I would like to be internationally known.  I realize I am a big underdog, but I am ready to make some quality music, and do special things that goes against the norm and take the music to another Level.  I want people to think of me more than a typical Soca artist, in time", said, Mr. Grenada.

Damian Robert Nesta Marley, also known around the world as “Junior Gong” and more recently as “Gongzilla” was born in 1978 to parents Bob Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976.  As a young adult, he developed a passion and a gift to speak for those who cannot always speak for themselves. A self-proclaimed ‘Spiritual Revolutionary’, Damian has worked assiduously to carve his own niche in music history and to add a new perspective to the Marley legacy for the 21st century. 

At the age of 13, Damian began performing in a group called “The Shepherds” which comprised of Shiah Coore (son of Third World guitarist Cat Coore) and currently a member of his band, and Yashema Beth McGreggor, daughter of reggae singers Freddie Mcgreggor and Judy Mowatt and then began touring with his brothers, Stephen, Ky-mani, Julian and Ziggy. 

By 1996, Damian had already made his stamp as a different kind of Marley when he released his first solo album “Mr. Marley”, a heavily dancehall-influenced album produced by his brother Stephen Marley.  His second album “Halfway Tree” was released in 2001 by a major record label and showcased Damian’s unique gift for blending dancehall, reggae and hip-hop styles.  This album won Damian much recognition and remained on the Billboard Top Reggae Album Charts for 158 weeks and earned him his first Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2002. 
While honored by this recognition by the global music fraternity, Damian continued to work in the studio, laying the groundwork for the tracks that would become his highly anticipated album, “Welcome To Jamrock”. The lyrics in this album presented Marley as a true spiritual revolutionary, as he used his talent to evoke a spiritual change while trying to enforce a better way of thinking.  He is described as “rhyming with the conviction of a street preacher with the intellect of a university economist”.  

Damian’s hit single “Welcome to Jamrock” was listed as one of the Top 100 Songs of the Decade by Rolling Stone, and at the 2006 Grammy Awards, he won Best Reggae Album and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for Welcome to Jamrock. Damian is the only Jamaican reggae artist in history to win two Grammy Awards on the same night. He is also the only reggae artist to win in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category at the Grammy Awards. The New York Times called Welcome to Jamrock the “best reggae song of the decade.” 
Welcome to Jamrock led the pathway to Damian’s critically acclaimed collaboration with Nas for 2010’s much lauded album “Distant Relatives” – a project which explored the relationships between reggae, hip-hop and Africa. The album title refers not only to the bond between the artists, but the connection to their African ancestry, which inspired the album both musically and lyrically. USA Today referred to the album as a “potent and often provocative collaboration” and by Rolling Stone as “an Afrocentric winner.” The album debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and Number 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Rap Albums and Reggae Albums charts, with Billboard heralding the album as “a dynamic hybrid.”    

The Distant Relatives Tour kicked off in 2011 and saw Damian traveling and performing for thousands of fans all over the world, including South America, Europe, The United Kingdom, The Caribbean and North America.  

Damian continued to cross musical boundaries in 2012, as he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem”, which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall” and has led to several remixes of the original version.  Damian recently released two other singles; “Set Up Shop” and  “Affairs of the Heart” which both received widespread airplay. 

Damian continues to tour with his band all over the world as a way of entertaining and healing as he continues to spread the message for those whose voices cannot be heard. He is working with his brothers Stephen and Julian under their Ghetto Youths International Label, to discover, develop and sign gifted artistes by applying their musical talent and vast experience to create new and different styles of music.  

Damian is currently in the studio working on his upcoming solo album.
