Without a doubt, Taddy P is one of Jamaica\u2019s finest bass player, writer and producer.\u00a0 With a cool and even-tempered disposition, this native son of Montego Bay is truly blessed with a musical gift.<\/p>

Taddy P\u2019s early musical influences can be traced to the Church, as he was part of the group choir which he also conducted, and to his former school Herbert Morrison Comprehensive High School.<\/p>

Taddy P\u2019s first instrument was the trombone, which he played from 7th-9th grade in his High School Band. It was at age 13, that he discovered the bass guitar. His music teachers, Professor Grimes, Snick Glenn and Carl Mathews, persuaded him to try out the bass instrument, right after the bass player from the school band graduated.\u00a0<\/p>

Taddy P\u2019s first bass guitar was a piece of board cut to the shape of a guitar, with fish line for strings.<\/p>

Subsequently, he was a music teacher at Herbert Morrison Comprehensive, where he taught Band Techniques, Music Theory and Conducting.<\/p>

It is not surprising that Taddy P became such a good bass player because he had excellent schooling.

Having surprised fans with his fusion of reggae, dancehall, jazz, hip hop and salsa on this album, Taddy P is soon set to release another album which will delight and satisfy the palettes of his adoring fans.\u00a0 And just what can fans expect of the new album?\u00a0 He insists that it will be a wicked collaboration of artists and of different genres of music, similar to the magical collaborations found on any Santana\u2019s album.\u00a0 One of reggae\u2019s finest artist, Tanya Stephens is featured on this new album on the track \u201cHeart of Stone\u201d, and already receiving a lot of airplay.
