Today’s Youth, Tomorrow’s Future: 8 Artists Who Started Out Young

In recognition of May being Child’s Month, 13th Street Promotions is dedicating this Oldies Sunday post to the youth. Many of us can look back at our own childhood when we’d imitate our favourite Artists and pretend we are established stars. What many may or may not know is that some of our favourites started out or even got discovered in their early stages. While we know that acts like the late US Pop Star Michael Jackson and Jamaican Singer Jimmy Tucker started out very young (Jimmy was Jamaica’s 1st Child Prodigy in the 1950s), we’d like to inform you or refresh your memory on some of our Caribbean acts who started out young.

1. Machel Montano (Debut Age: 9) – Too Young To Soca

NEW MUSIC: @TommyLeeSparta – Captain Sparta

Posted on March 11, 2013March 11, 2013 by swadedavillain

Here’s something you don’t hear everyday. For the kids Tommy Lee released his theme music, “Captain Sparta“. Produced by by Guzu Music, we hear Tommy deejaying cartoon references with the help of children chanting “Tommy Lee“. I have to admit I like it, this is something I never expected from the deejay and it reminds me of the theme music from popular cartoons.
