Chino McGregor ADD

Chino, born Daniel McGregor on the 12th of February 1983, is a young artist that is going to blow your mind and as a son of Jamaican music legend Freddie McGregor you know that he has music running through his veins. A great talent in his own right, Chino has already had a lot of experience. He sang from the age of nine in the Vaz Preparatory School's choir and ever since it was his dream to have a career in music. He has performed on countless occasions since being a child and to this date, one of his most memorable performances was at the age of twelve at Jamaica House in front of Prime Minister PJ Patterson.

While a student at Wolmer's High School, multi-talented Chino also gained experience as a selector for the sound system Omega Disco. Chino even today does not want to be categorized but rather sees himself as a musical artist since he plays instruments such as guitar, drums, piano, and bass. Furthermore, he can sing, rap, and DJ, he writes, co-writes, and produces tracks for artistes such as Daville, TOK, Wayne Marshall, Elephant Man, Kiprich, Delly ranx, and of course his father, Freddie McGregor. Having had the opportunity to learn all about the music from the cradle due to the fact that Big Ship studio is his "home", Chino undoubtedly will be one of the biggest artistes in Jamaica. Since being a child he had the chance of observing and learning from the best, legends such as the late 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.

These interactions resulted in an in-depth knowledge of recording and production techniques. He started his career as a rapper when he was asked by fellow artiste "Bryan" (brother of Papa San) to contribute a rap verse to the song "Joy". Important songs that furthered his career were two collaboration with Kiprich, "Leggo Di Bwoy" and "Gimmi Di Gyal", with the former being the number one on the Jamaican charts, which resulted in heavy video rotation and airplay locally as well as internationally.

Since coming back to his roots in Jamaica, Chino has performed in and toured major cities such as New York, Miami, Alabama, Mississipi, London, Europe, Africa, Japan, Bermuda, U.S VirginIslands as well as in the Caribbean islands. A major milestone in his career was a collaboration with his father "There's a Reward For Me" on the Grammy-nominated album "Anything for you".
