Young... and accomplished

chino.jpg"Red Bull and Guinness inna mi system" is the punch line from a song that has been popular in the Dancehall for over two years. The track bares the familiar voice of Delly Ranks, a longstanding Dancehall personality; however, not many persons know who the younger voice on the track represents.

Chino is the name of a current rising sensation, and yes, his is the other voice. His last name is McGregor, a name which brings Reggae royalty to mind. Son to Freddie McGregor, he is a great talent in his own right.

Musically inclined from age nine, Chino was a member of the Vaz Preparatory School choir and ever since his dream to have a career in music began. He has performed on countless occasions since childhood and to date one of his most memorable performances was at age twelve at Jamaica House in front of Prime Minister PJ Patterson. While a student at Wolmer's High School for Boys', multi-talented Chino also gained experience as a selector for the sound system Omega Disco. The multi-talented Chino does not want to be categorized but rather sees himself as a musical artiste who also plays instruments such as guitar, drums, piano and bass. Furthermore he can sing, rap and deejay, he writes, co-writes and has produced tracks for artistes such as Daville, TOK, Wayne Marshall, Elephant Man, Kiprich, Delly Ranks and his father, Freddie McGregor.

He has had the opportunity to learn all about music from a tender age, at his dads Big Ship studio. "I have observed and learnt from the greats. Dennis Brown, Marcia Griffith, Judy Mowatt and Gregory Isaac, as well as Dancehall icons such as Bounty Killa and Beenie Man to name a few," he revealed. Chino confirmed that these interactions resulted in an in depth knowledge of recording and production techniques.

chino_album.jpgChinos' career began as a rapper when he was asked by fellow artiste Bryan, Papa San's brother, to contribute a rap verse to the song "Joy." Important songs that furthered his career were two collaborations with Kiprich, "Leggo Di Bwoy" and "Gimmi Di Gyal." "Leggo Di Bwoy" went to number one on the Jamaican charts, and received heavy video rotation and airplay locally as well as internationally.

After graduating from High School, Chino gained experience in the USA where he worked with Slip N Slide Records, home to US artistes such as Trina and Trick Daddy. Since coming back to his roots in Jamaica, Chino has performed in and toured major cities such as New York, Miami, Alabama, Mississippi, Europe, Africa, Japan, Bermuda, U.S Virgin Islands as well as in the Caribbean.

A major mile stone in his career was collaboration with his father on the track, "There's a Reward for Me" on the Grammy-nominated album "Anything for you." His career has evolved even further since then with many of his songs making waves in the industry lately. "Girls Dem Straight," is one and it is a favorite especially amongst the females. Both song and video receive heavy rotation on the radio and television. Other current hits are, "Buss It Pon Dem," "Inna Di Club" and of course, "Redbull And Guinness."

Chino just released his 16 track debut album titled "Unstoppable." The album was dropped first in Japan and will be released in the United States in March 2008. Songs on the album include the hot singles, "Change," "I know" - featuring Steven McGregor, "Ting dem Tall" and "Rave All Night
