The Journey

Born Horace Henry in a little district called Victoria in Linstead , St. Catherine, the sixth of eleven children for his Mother .His older brother Papa Desi was among the main toasters on the microphone for the mighty King Stur Gav Sound System along with Jose Wales ,Charlie Chaplin and Hugh Roy. In 1986 the youngster moved to Ocho Rios in his quest for Stardom and a whim to survive. There he got a job toasting on a few Sound Systems on the North Coast: Jack Ruby Hi Power and Tommy Phonic.



In those days a dance (concert) could not go on without a live artiste free- styling on the microphone all night long. People would stand on the outside of the dancehall, listen to the artiste and if they deemed the artiste respectable, then and only then would they pay and ram up the dancehall. It was there, and during those rough times that Mr. Absolute learned to compose lyrics to various rhythms at will. Like others who learn their craft in classrooms with accompanying books, Mr. Absolute learned his lessons in live dancehall using a will to survive among some of the best in front of highly critical audience as his tester.



Mr. Absolute has worked on several shows both in Jamaica and abroad and is currently working on his second CD, his first C.I.A. FILES done on the Who Dun It Label and distributed by PARAS in California. Mr. Absolute has a few music videos now showing on several channels (British, Taliban & Spic& Span). He has also recorded Mr. Politician with Bushman and has done the music video.



His most recent effort is a single called Clean up the Innercity from his forthcoming album Smokey Eyes .The video made it to the Video Alley Reggae Top Ten Chart in Jamaica, New York, United Kingdom and Florida.



The single has been receiving lots of love from radio announcers in Jamaica, Hot 97 in New York, and various stations in South Florida ( if downtown cry , uptown will cry and if uptown cry Jamaica cry.Come with mi come mek wi clean up the innercity) Mr. Absolute penned this song after observing the violence, injustice and lack of unity in our Society.



The single is on the No Boundary Record Label (www.noboundaryrecord.com) . Other singles and videos are" Spend some time" done in combination with reggae crooner Everton Blender and Rough Life featuring Shauna Dazzle.



Mr. Absolute is now ready for the world and the world is ready for this unmistakable talented artiste. He changed his name to Mr. Absolute because, though he was on the scene before Shaggy, he does not want to be mistaken for him. Hence the birth of Mr. Absolute This Absolutely blessed son of Love
