M-Gee is a dancehall, reggae singer-songwriter who was born as Garfield Stewart.  He was born in Kingston, Jamaica, where he attended Trench Town High School.  He spent his earlier years singing at the church he attended with his mother.  His gift was recognized during this time as he was motivated by the church and the other members of his community to focus on a musical career.  With the positive encouragement, he decided to develop upon his talent to pursue a singing career.  He built a sound reputation for his musical adventure by singing at many local events throughout Eastern Jamaica.

In January 2012, M-Gee released “No Tail”, which labeled him as a controversial artist due to the concept.  The official video for the single was released in April 2012 premiering on the most viewed reggae networks in the Caribbean and in the United States.  M-Gee’s work has been notably recognized by the Jamaica Star and The Observer where he was headlined as the featured entertainer. 

While M-Gee songs are well received on the dancehall scenes in several countries, the versatility of his talent is captured in the quality and the choice of the songs that he has written.  “Life is not a Joke” is a cultural type of song which is based on the concept of encouraging others to maintain a positive outlook in life.  The fans are gravitating to the lyrics of his music as they are often able to relate to the words as written by M-Gee.  His lyrics are often captured by his observation and life experiences.

M-Gee’s official in-person introduction to Jamaica was in December 2012 when he performed at Sting, the number one reggae concert in Jamaica.  He left his foot print on the island with the performance of his “Cheap and Clean” and “Back Pocket Hail” which sparked an overwhelming response from the audience as they anxiously waited to put a face to the name.
