Artist Spotlight
The young deejay has high hopes to become The next BIG thing and he has the talent to back it up. Like most successful deejays, Nesbeth was born and raised in humble upbringings. Gloria Wright gave birth to the son of Neville Nesbeth who was christened Greg. Due to economic hardships young Greg was forced to leave his Arnett Gardens home to live with relatives in Waterhouse and then Maxfield Avenue. Each move meant a new school and a new set of hardships.
Despite the lack of stability in his family life, young Greg was able to find and maintain an interest in music. He was encouraged by his friends to take music seriously and pursue it as a career. In 1992, Greg took on the stage name Nesbeth and made his Debut Performance at the Ranny Williams Entertainment Centre where he was well received. Nesbeth recorded his first single Reflection of Love with a female named Samaria in 1993, starting his professional career in earnest, Jack Scorpio, king Jammys and Shocking Vibes are just a few of the labels he has graced in his career. His music covers a broad spectrum of subject areas, but he admits that those that address adversity are closest to his heart. This is evident in tracks such as Sad Situation Featuring Beenie Man, Only God Knows Why, One Life to Live, and So Let It Be on the Golden Bathtub Riddim as well as his current track Tears Falling on the Emotion Riddim produced by Nesbeth and Rising Sun Production.
He has performed extensively, making appearances at a number of shows in Jamaica such as Teen Splash, Bob Marleys Birthday Bash, Sting 2005, and The Jamaica Peace Day Concert both in 2005 and 2006. He has also performed overseas in Antigua, St Kitts, Atlanta, and New York.
His energetic and well delivered performance style helped him sweep the Big Stone Talent Show at the Doctor Bird Nightclub in 1999. At the end of the night Nesbeth walked away with the Best Dressed, Best Performance, Most Disciplined, and all Awards. With the well laid foundation in the business Nesbeth hopes to achieve success through the four Ds Discipline, Determination, Dedication, and Desire. He draws inspiration from artistes like Beenie Man, Lauren Hill and all the performers who have paid their dues before him.
