About Beres Hammond

How it all started

Hammond’s participation in talent contests led to the recording of Ellis’ “Wanderer”. After that, in 1975 he joined the Zap Pow band to be a lead singer. This is how his first single “The SYstem” was introduced to the world. However, Beres always dreamt about a solo career and his dream came true in 1976, when he released his first album - “Soul Reggae”, which became a great hit in Jamaica. His fans didn’t have to wait for his next albums too long - Beres Hammond releases “Let’s Make A Song” in 1980 and “Red Light” the year after. In 1985 Beres has released his next album called “Make a Song” under his own label - Harmony Records. Again, two of the songs from this album are becoming chart-toppers in Jamaica. One of them - “What One Dance Can Do”, started to break Beres into the international market.

New York and comeback

Beres leaves Jamaica in 1987 to conquer New York. There he records a duet "How Can We Ease the Pain" and his next album - “Have a Nice Weekend”. In 1990, however, Beres returns to Jamaica for good, leaving his fame in the USA and the UK with his hits “Respect To You Baby” and “Is This a Sign”, from his album “Love Affair”, released in 1992. The same year he releases the single “Fire”, which received positive feedback from the Reggae music community critics. Hammond records five more albums in the 1990s and establishes himself as a rock artist. After that, he releases six more albums, with the last one released in 2012 - “One Love, One Life”. In 2014 Beres Hammond was nominated for a Grammy Awards.
