Born John Gordon in Gravridge., Middleton, St. Thomas, Jamaica Fikre Selassie (the Love of the Trinity) is his baptismal name given to him on becoming an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian. Fikres career history fits none of the stereotypes commonly attributed to Roots Musics popular stars. Today, as reggae enjoys a renaissance of young conscious artists like Luciano, Richie Spice, and I-Wayne is definitely a sign of his times. Heavily influenced by his Christian faith he is uncompromising in saying, Jesus Christ, is everything to his life and music, and through this medium he intends to propagate his faith. He made his stage debut at the age of eight years old, at fourteen he began recording dub plates for a number of sound systems including Youthman Promotion and Echo Injection, to name a few. At the same time he sang in the dancehalls. In 1984 he recorded Everything Is you Lord on a White label then he later recoded Cant take no chance. A few Years later he rerecorded a classic Bucket Bottom and he had a hits with Songs Such as I Love My Woman, Every Knee Shall Bow, The Truth Will Set You Free, Look Upon the Sons of Man and Time For Love, he created a backing Band called Shamara and from there went on to work with Connecting Routes where he released a single. Considered by fans and critics alike to be the premier of UK roots vocals of his generation, Fikre continues to fulfill the promise he demonstrated as a child. His debut Album BLESSED IS HE is presently unsigned but he is working at developing some interest with it internationally.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Yes I play Live. I perform everywhere and am always looking for more shows. I would love to do a tour of all the Churches in the world. I love performing and ministering the WORD of GOD to the people through my music. I have lots of special moments when I am performing because the SPIRIT of the Lord is around me and THE WORD through the music inspires folks to want to follow my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Your musical influences

Sam Cooke, Lou Rawls, Danny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, The Isley Brothers, Billy Joel, Bob Marley, Sugar Minott & LOTS of others too numerous to mention.

What equipment do you use?

A GOOD MIKE

Anything else?

PHILIPPIANS Chapter 2, Verses 5  13

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name:  That at the name of JESUS  EVERY KNEE SHOULD BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth:  And that EVERY TONGUE SHOULD CONFESS that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the GLORY of GOD THE FATHER.  Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.  Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
