Mykal Rose

Mykal Rose (often spelled Michael Rose) is a legendary Jamaican reggae vocalist best known for his raw, soulful voice and roots-conscious style. Born in Kingston in 1957, he rose to fame in the late '70s as the frontman of Grammy-winning reggae group Black Uhuru, helping define their signature sound on classics like "Sinsemilla" and "Red." After leaving the group in the mid-'80s, he launched a prolific solo career, dropping fiery anthems that blend dancehall energy with socially conscious lyrics. Still active today, Mykal keeps releasing fresh tunes like the laid-back "Summer Breeze" and the groovy "Let's Dance," proving his timeless appeal. Whether covering classics like "Ain't No Sunshine" or dropping originals like "Jahwise Inna Jamrock," his gravelly tone and Rastafarian-inspired messaging remain unmistakable. A true reggae icon, he’s been keeping it real for over four decades.
