Beres Hammond – The Soulful Voice of Reggae
With a career spanning over five decades, Beres Hammond stands as one of Jamaica's greatest living singer-songwriters, a soulful reggae legend alongside icons like Bob Marley and Dennis Brown. His smoky-sweet voice, reminiscent of Otis Redding and Teddy Pendergrass, has graced every era of reggae, from the funk-infused jams of Zap Pow to his dancehall breakthrough "What One Dance Can Do." Classic anthems like "Tempted to Touch," "Putting Up Resistance," and "They Gonna Talk" continue to resonate across generations.
Beres’s self-built Harmony House studio became a creative haven for Jamaica's top musicians, capturing the essence of live reggae with timeless grooves and analog warmth. His albums, including Music Is Life, A Moment in Time, One Love, One Life, and Never Ending, topped charts and earned Grammy nominations, solidifying his legacy.
In 2021, his virtual concert Love From A Distance Live united fans worldwide, proving that Beres Hammond's music remains as powerful and unifying as ever. A true guardian of reggae's golden sound, Beres continues to inspire global audiences with his heartfelt melodies and timeless voice.
