TYRICAL
REGGAEXCLUSIVE SINGJAY / DEEJAY SPOTLIGHT
Tyrical is a Jamaican songwriter , performer and producer . He currently works with Tyrific Records , which is a partnership with Dave Wallace , a Jamaican born U . S . based entrepreneur . His current song “ Can ’ t Believe ” is getting heavy rotation on several radio stations in Jamaica , elsewhere in the Caribbean and Overseas . Tyrical was born Michael Harris in Barbican , Jamaica in 1976 . He says the rough streets of Barbican was like a University and prepared him for a career in the tough Jamaican Music Industry . His foray in the music industry began at the tender age of 13 years when he linked up with long- time friend Singing Sweet . Even on the cusp of his teenage years , Tyrical displayed skills that would later usher in a life as an artiste , song writer and producer . He used his many talents to help Singing Sweet with his song writing skills , stage presence and delivery .
At age 17 Tyrical was to get his first major hit when he penned and sang “ Youths from the Street ” for Producer Colin “ Fat ” Walters in 1995 . The song received a lot of airplay and went on to achieve major success on several charts in Jamaica and overseas . The success of the song gave Tyrical well needed exposure and financial rewards , and opened doors that would have otherwise been closed , including opportunities to work with legendary Jamaican Music producers Stevie and Cleevie . During that time he also formed a close friendship with Baby Wayne , who he still regards as one of the most talented deejays he has ever met . During the mid to late 90s , Tyrical continued to hone his skills at Freddy McGregor ’ s ‘ Big Ship ’ Records , where he later met Mr . Vegas who was an aspiring ‘ singjay ’. The two became close friends and worked on projects such as the song “ Dry Weather House ”. He also helped Mr . Vegas to write the breakthrough song “ Heads High .”
In 2002 Tyrical was to achieve even greater success as a song writer after he penned the Dancehall classic “ Sufferer ” for Bounty Killa . He went on to form a close alliance with Bounty Killa and wrote several other songs for the Dancehall legend , including “ Dem Bow ” and “ Dem a lie ”. He also wrote songs for other artistes including Mavado , Elephant Man , Mr . G , Monster Shack Crew , Terror Fabulous and Sugar Minott . However , in many instances he was not officially credited for many of the songs , even though several of them went on to become major hits locally and overseas .
Following the death of his mother in 2005 , Tyrical decided to focus on his career as an artiste . He said he did not make this move for material gains but to get the recognition he believes he deserved as a writer / producer who helped to launch the career of other major Dancehall and Reggae Stars . In 2010 , Tyrical scored big with the song “ Want my own ”. “ Want my own ” stayed on several local and international charts for many weeks and gave Tyrical the exposure he desired . The song revealed stories about the selfish side of many of the artistes whose career ’ s Tyrical helped to steer . It also spoke to his determination to achieve success in the often unforgiving , cut throat industry as well as the setbacks he faced as an artiste who decided to tread the humble , less hype route . Now under the management of his childhood friend , Dave Wallace , Tyrical is determined to continue to use his multiple talents to improve Reggae / Dancehall Music and take them to the heights they were destined for .
