The original Clive Hylton aka Colour Red comes from Yallas, St Thomas, Jamaica., born 17 February – the tribe of Joseph. He has been singing, in his own words “From Creation” – the title of his first single, which he recorded in Jamaica in 1974. He also recorded “Judgement Day” for the legendary producer Lee “Scratch” Perry, working with the original Upsetters. This song has now become a cult anthem among UK roots music fans. Colour Red has toured with many artists including Burning Spear, IJahman Levi, Makka B, Earl 16 and Sugar Minnott. He was a supporting artist for ‘The Wailers UK Tour 2005’ in early 2005. His most recent tour and showcase was with Fred Locks, Ronnie Davis and Johnny Clarke in July 2005. His debut album ‘Revelation Time’ was released by Jetstar on 12 December 2002, who stated “…an inspiring set of songs in a strict roots & culture theme, as a debut album this will set a standard for UK roots reggae music, on a par with anything out there…so watch out Luciano, Bushman, Jahmali for …The Colour Red is coming!” His second album will be released soon. |
