Fred Locks

Reggae veteran Fred Locks announces his release of a moving single, In My Bible, in the upcoming reggae compilation, 'Golden Kid the Riddim Assassin Reggae Temple Vol 1', which is to be released next month.

The single is poised to put the veteran crooner back in the spotlight and adds an extra dimension of quality to the compilation.

The single speaks to Fred Locks finding his redemption in the Bible. The single is upbeat and bursting with a melodious flow captivating the listener with an effortless and flawless sound reminiscent of any R&B vocalist worthy of mention.

According to Blaza Music Group CEO, Daffilous Thompson, "Fred Locks is a reggae artiste of the very highest calibre and the song demands that the audience pays full attention to listen to this one for sure. In My Bible is very well written and the production is absolutely flawless. In addition, this single promotes Fred Locks' smooth vocals which at times remind me of the best of Dennis Brown."

Born Stafford Elliot in Kingston, Fred Locks began a musical journey, recording as a member of The Lyrics, who recorded tracks such as A Get It, Girls Like Dirt and Hear What The Old Man Say for Coxsone Dodd in the late '60s.

In 1975, on the Jahmikmusic label, he released on Grounation in the UK Black Star Liners, which struck a resounding chord with the new generation of Rastafarian youth, propelling Locks to cult status in the process.
