Belinda Brady "WISHING YOU WERE HERE" Mixed & Produced by Derek Brin @ Fierce Music Studios Written by Belinda, Levi Themelkos & Derek Brin All instruments by Derek Brin Guitar: Gervais 'Jouvay' De Souza BELINDA BRADY Brady, who in the mid-1990s sang backup for Bob Marley’s son Julian and Shaggy, performing alongside him during his 1995-96 Boombastic tour, has released a slew of singles through the years. “No matter what I do or where I am in life, up until the day I die I will be an artist,” “The whole stardom thing is not such a high priority as it was back in the day." “I could be working at Multicom or anywhere else. I will still be an artist.” Music is in her blood, the two-time Juno Award nominee says. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, she remembers spending her childhood in a recording studio with her father, Carl Brady, an original member of Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, one of the Caribbean’s longest-running reggae acts. Later she joined the Jamaica Musical Theatre Company and a gig singing backup for soca star Denyse Plummer soon followed. With a move to Toronto in 1993, Brady picked up where she left off, all the while juggling corporate jobs. It wasn’t long before she met music impresario Farley Flex, who later signed her to his Plasma Corporation label.
