Kemar Fray (Shamari )

Born Kemar Shamari Fray, the young singjay has faced trials and tribulations from the outset. Having lost his father at the tender age of three to the gun, he was forced to recognize from early that survival was a necessity and only his talent could help him extricate himself from the situation he was born in. The twenty-five year old artiste from the rough community of Tawes Pen in Spanish Town, St Catherine, is bursting with motivation, talent, vocal ability and a back story that would inspire anyone. Spurred on by his mother, who supported the family by selling goods in the Spanish Town Market, Shamari stands proud of his struggles and experiences and credits her as his main inspiration.
