IRIE LOVE ON TOUR WITH MORGAN HERITAGE!
IRIE LOVE began singing at age thirteen.
She was given the name Irie by her father, an
avid reggae fan and Love is her mother's family name.
She grew up in Hawaii in a small town called
Kailua on the island of O'ahu, where Irie
was encouraged by her mother to sing solos at the
family church. Her six foot-tall stature and natural
beauty brought numerous opportunities for both runway
and print modeling work as well.
In 1998, IRIE LOVE won a statewide talent competition.
One of the judges for the contest was the CEO of
Quiet Storm Records. Her first single, a reggae
rendition of the Chaka Khan classic, "Tell Me
Something Good", appeared on the best-selling Quiet
Storm compilation ROOTS MUSIC, VOLUME 2. The label
used her likeness on promotional tools by creating
life-size-posters for record store merchandising
throughout theHawaiian Islands.
Irie became a fixture in the Hawaiian reggae
scene, supporting international acts that would tour
the islands such as roots reggae greats Steel Pulse
and Don Carlos.
In 2000, IRIE LOVE relocated to Los Angeles to pursue
her music studies at Azusa Pacific University. Her
strong voice and precise pitch control soon garnered
Irie work as a session and touring vocalist, singing
support vocals for the likes of PINK, DAVE HOLLISTER
and CHAKA KHAN.
It was at this point that she partnered with Kingston,
Jamaica native Lloyd Shaw and his Los Angeles based
Issachar Productions label. She began writing
songs and teaching herself to play the acoustic
guitar.
In the summer of 2006, Irie Love set up a base in
Kingston, Jamaica where she had the honor of being
named one of twelvefinalists in the "Irie FM Red Stripe
Big BreakCompetition." This led to a mini-tour
of the island with reggae artists Tarrus Riley and Gyptian.
Irie gave interviews on Hype TV, TVJ and CVM networks in
Jamaica and her music was featured each week on IrieFM
radio throughout the duration of the competition.
Recent solo performances have included: the Western
Consciousness festival in April 2006 in
Savannah-La-Mar, Jamaica, the UCLA Jazz/Reggae
Festival in Los Angeles in May 2006, December 2006
with the artist Fiji at the KCCN FM 100 Birthday Bash
held at the Waikiki Shell in Hawaii, and her second
Jamaican festival appearance at Rebel Salute in
January 2007.
IrieFM's popular morning DJ Elise Kelly has the song
"Put Jah First" in daily rotation, making her a
well-respected new voice in the competitive Jamaican
reggae scene. Irie FM radio is featuring the
aptly-named Irie in their marketing photos online at
iriefm.net which will serve to make her one of the
most widely-recognized faces as well.
Numerous producers are recording IRIE LOVE on their
hottest rhythms. Most recently she voiced "Are You
Feelin' Me?" on Jazzy T's "Untouchable" rhythm which
includes such artiste as Sizzla and Wayne Marshall.
Irie has also voiced at Freddie McGregor's Big Ship Studios
where she recorded a combination with Freddie
entitled, "Let Me Down Easy." His young, prolific son
Steven McGregor produced "It Was Me" for the Big
Ship label and it is slated for release on the Forever
Riddim at the end of April 2007.
IRIE LOVE is currently working with Morgan Heritage
and continues to record tracks with several top
producers such as Stephen McGregor, Bobby Digital, Sly & Robbie, Christopher Birch,
Mario Lawrence from Kingston adding to a powerful set
of existing songs in anticipation of her full-length album,
THE LIFE OF"LOVE" to be released first quarter 2008 on Gedion Music!

His foundation is in the holy mountains. JAH loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of thee, Oh city of god. Selah. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know I: behold Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. JAH shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. As well the singers and players of instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
