CLINTON FEARON is a composer, songwriter, singer, and player of instruments since his early teens, and a professional since the age of 19. He was born in Jamaica and became the bassist, vocalist, and lyricist for the mythic Gladiators, as well as a session musician for Coxsonne Dodd in Studio One and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s at Black Ark, two of the main producers on the island at this time. He also composed some everlasting bass lines for well-known artists like Yabby You, Jimmy Riley, Max Romeo, Junior Byles, and many others.

After leaving Jamaica in 1987, Clinton Fearon started a new career in Seattle. With other musicians of the Gladiators, he decided to stay in the US and founded The Defenders. The band built a nice following in the Northwest. After five years, the band split, and Clinton Fearon formed the Boogie Brown Band with local musicians in 1993. Clinton recorded eight albums with Boogie Brown Band and two albums in a solo acoustic. Each song of Clinton Fearon is a strong message coming from the heart of a man who dedicates his life to help a better world come. With chiselled music and poetic lyrics, he opens reggae to a wider audience who simply love his beautiful songs.
