Humble

Born Simon Jonathan Vassell in the small township of Redditch England to Jamaican-born parents, Humble was exposed to music at an early age. The sweet sound of reggae music had hypnotized the youngster by the tender age of three after hearing a song by an american-born reggae artist named Johnny Nash called "Tears on my Pillow". "I would sing the song to anyone willing to listen".

Humble's parents then returned to Jamaica. "My mother was born in St. Elizabeth so anytime I went back it was there I would go, love the country".

Humble moved with his family to Toronto when he was three. In grade three Humble took the mandatory musical aptitude test and later learned he had scored the highest pecentage in his entire school. "Hearing a note sequence or a tone and retaining it in my head was very easy, just have to hear it once". As he entered his adolescence years Humble's parents had divorced and he moved to the community of Rexdale. Staying out of trouble wasn't too hard as his reserved and quiet demeanor gained curiosity and respect from those around him.

When Humble was in his late teens he bought a guitar and found his passion in creating music and his own unique sound. So far Humble's journey has caused him to meet many artists and people in the music industry.

In October 2005 Humble released his debut album titled "Hard To See" on the Soundcheck Records label. Humble has opened for many international artists such as Junior Kelly, popular dub poet Mutabaruka, Tony Rebel, and roots reggae's legendary Abyssinnians to name a few.

At the present time Humble is working towards collaborating with some of Toronto's top reggae artists to help build the reggae reputation in Canada. Humble has worked with many of Trinidad and Tobago's reggae artists such as Jamelody, Prophet Benjamin and Khari Kill.

Humble has also appeared on the Rogers Television Network talkshow 'Daytime' in Toronto. Humble was also apart of the highly successful production of "Tribute to the Legends" organized by fellow Juno nominated artist Odel in February 2007.

2007 looks to be a productive year for Humble as he plans to work on his sophmore album, at the same time his debut album 'Hard To See' has received a Juno nomination for best Reggae Recording for 2007.
