Richie Spice, born Richell Bonner on September 8, 1971, in Rock Hall, St. Andrew, Jamaica, is a beloved reggae artist known for his rich, emotive voice and socially-conscious lyrics. Spice hails from a musical family; he is the younger brother of Pliers of Chaka Demus & Pliers and singer Spanner Banner. Bursting onto the scene in the early 2000s, Richie Spice secured his place in the reggae world with hits like "Earth A Run Red," "Ghetto Girl," and the massively popular "Brown Skin." His music is a testament to his Rastafarian beliefs, and he consistently promotes messages of love, peace, and social justice through his artistry.

Throughout his career, Richie Spice has continued to release a steady stream of music that resonates with fans across the globe. With recent tracks like "Herbs Man" and "Glory," he maintains his stance as an advocate for cultural consciousness and the uplifting of African heritage, themes that are deeply woven into his work such as "Africans Sail On" and "Black Man Time." In a musical landscape that often sees styles and artists quickly come and go, Richie Spice remains a steadfast force in reggae, offering listeners a compelling mix of pulsing rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics that speak to both the struggles and triumphs of life, as heard in songs like "Life Goes On" and "Real Love."
