Born in 1970, in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Allan Crichton aka White Mice is a graduate of three sound systems — Sugar Minott’s Youthman Promotion, Jammy’s Hi Power, and his hometown Ticka Muzik. His brother “Courtney ‘Blemo’ Crichton” had him singing and recording from a very early age. His first break came at Sun Splash in 1985, when he and Little Kirk were called on stage to perform with Tenor Saw.

Asani Ali had this to say about White Mice. “It has been over thirty years ago now when that White Mice solid debut single called True Love, from Courtney “Blemo” Crichton and the Intelitec Music Camp for a singer with a most unusual voice from the sweetest place on earth dropped. Though I was impressed with what I heard coming from the mouth of such a youthful entertainer, I am still amazed and equally impressed now that I am still listening to White Mice’s music all of these years later. Mice has grown into someone whose music is held in high esteem in the Reggae Music Circle Worldwide.”

White Mice is one of the genre’s heaviest of hitters in terms of actual quality, at least as far as music lovers are concerned.

Mice first recorded at age 14 for hometown producer Neville Thomas but his debut song, Dolly Stylee, did little and he moved to Kingston. There, he became a member of Sugar Minott’s Youthman Promotions camp where his colleagues included Yami Bolo, another teenage singer.

White Mice had only one released song (No Competition) for Minott, which failed to make a mark. He had a change in fortunes with his brother, producer Blemo Crichton, who assembled an outstanding cast of musicians at King Jammy’s studio in Waterhouse to record True Love. The song was an instant hit and is still requested today.
