Description
Miguel Collins aka Sizzla Kalonji, born April 17, 1976 in August Town / Kingston, Jamaica, took his first musical steps as a singer for Caveman Hi-Fi. His energetic singjay style and witty lyrics won him enthusiastic recognition from his 1995 debut album, Burning Up, while its 1997 successor, “Black Woman and Child”, was an international breakthrough, earning Sizzla the 1998 MOBO Award and a place in various magazines’ top 100 albums of the year. At the time, Sizzla was part of Phillip Burrel’s XTerminator stable, touring with Luciano and other roots and culture new wave artists. Sizzla is prolific, even by Jamaican standards. Since 1995, he has released over 30 albums and probably over 400 singles. With such an output, fans often complain about the mediocrity of many of them, but Sizzla always manages to surprise listeners with a quality album after a few mediocre ones.
