"John McCLean"
Born in Hammersmith in the early sixties into a large family. John began his singing career from the very early age of 7 years in the choir of the school he attended.
His voice was considered so good that he often was the soloist in choir performances. At the age of 16 years, he started singing with the sound called 'Black Starliner' which he was not only a active member but also owned, and still has an interest in today.
During his days with the sound system, a signature tune for the sound was put together by the same name of the sound, which a little later became his debut single. During 1987, John visited Ariwa Studios with his manager Sinbad, the result of which was his debut single for the label called 'If I gave my heart to you' which when at first heard by Mad Professor, had the makings of a hit.
These thoughts proved correct for the record rose to No 1 in the Reggae charts and has entered the national charts. John has since has the release of his first album "Bowled Over" which again shows his versatility and writing ability. John continues to write music and lyrics for many more songs......
"KOFI"
A former member of British lovers rock trio Brown Sugar (along with former Soul II Soul member Caron Wheeler), Kofi emerges on her own here with a confident, crisp lovers album.
This is how lovers rock should be done: the music (courtesy of Mad Professor) is buttery smooth, Kofi's vocals are similarly mellow -- yet with a sultry power that demands your attention -- and the melodies are supple enough to fit into any R&B radio station's nightly "Quiet Storm" programming.
