Five Steez is a true MC that has surprisingly risen through an obscure Hip Hop scene in Jamaica, the land of Reggae, to capture ears and minds all over the world through years of mixtape releases, performances and televised music videos. With the city of Kingston as his backdrop, he expresses a reality that exemplifies Hip Hop’s role as the ‘voice of the voiceless’.

Steez was born in Kingston, Jamaica on November 11, 1986. Throughout youth, music was his biggest fascination and as he grew older and wiser, he knew his calling was to speak to and for the people.
