About Ras Slick

Ras Slick is no stranger to the music industry. He started singing at the age of five as a soloist at church in Jamaica, which he attended every week with his mother. He attended Georges Plain Primary School and Frome Technical High School in Westmoreland, Jamaica, where he began to make a name for himself by singing in talent shows and concerts. The popularity he gained in school inspired him to go into the studio and start recording his first song, “Still Loving You.”

In addition to recording music, Ras Slick pursued a career in tourism entertainment as one of the Entertainment Managers at the Riu resorts in Jamaica. At the Riu, he organized and performed in concerts and shows for people from all over the world. He also began selling his CDs on the beach to thousands of people.

As people began to hear his music, Ras Slick started to receive recognition for his talent, and was invited to share the stage with top reggae artists such as Beenie Man, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, Jah Cure, Aidonia, Lady Saw and Elephant Man.
