Anthony Red Rose


Anthony Red Rose is the man responsible for the hugely successful ‘Family Man’ album that was released late in 1993. The album brought him into the public eye quickly, after moving around local venues back home in Jamaica, trying to become popular.

Anthony Red Rose was born in St. Mary’s, named Anthony C. Cameron. He was brought up in St. Catherine in Jamaica where he practiced his music as an alter server at the local Catholic Church in this Spanish village.

Whilst Anthony Red Rose is a fairly new name on the reggae scene, he recorded his first single in 1980, although it was not picked up by any record company until a little later. The one single to ‘make his career’, which still sells copies to this day, was called ‘Tempo’. The song joins the ranks of some of Bob Marley’s less commercial songs, and is sold on a compilation C.D. containing songs from some of the giants of popular reggae.

‘How Yu Fi Sey Dat?’ and ‘Raggedy Joe’ are the names of the two record labels that Anthony Red Rose started up. He has recorded songs with some of the latest and greatest reggae artists of all time, including Sly Dunbar and Beenie Man. He has also spent a lot of time writing and producing rhythms and tracks to back some of the most famous ‘underground’ reggae artists, including The Fire House Crew and Danny Brownie.

Anthony Red Rose has now released his own unique brand of reggae music all over the world. His sales are shooting through the roof, and his recording and production companies are worth hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars. His is a true ‘rags to riches’ story, coming from a small Spanish village, to owning several recording and production companies.

At present, Anthony Red Rose is focusing more on his recording and producing career. The reggae scene, as it is today, is not what it used to be, meaning there is less space for reggae veterans like Anthony Red Rose.
