- About Christopher Ellis
- Christopher Ellis was born the youngest male progeny to “The Godfather of Jamaican Rocksteady”, the late Alton Ellis and Sigma Ellis. Talented in his own right, the soulful Lover’s Rock, Roots Reggae, R&B crooner has been astounding audiences with his incredibly natural, smooth vocal stylings since the age of 11.
- The Jamaica Gleaner notes, “His look and sound closely mirror those of his dad, he has beyond a doubt inherited the soulful vocals of his father.”
- After his father passed away, Christopher immersed himself into music as an outlet for his pain, the latter leading him to the studio to record a tribute song to his father (2009). But It was after a chance encounter with Stephen Marley, that paved the way to his professional music career.
- After a coveted invitation from the multi-GRAMMY winner, Christopher to join him at renowned King Jammy’s studio, Christopher delivered his first single entitled, ‘End of Time’, a moving, soul stirring track also featuring beautiful vocal works by Stephen Marley and Jah Cure, inspired by Alton Ellis’ rendition of ‘You Made Me So Happy’.
- The prodigious opportunity of working with the Marley Family continued with Stephen Marley and Damian Marley via Ghetto Youths Records family.
- To date, Ellis has released the aforementioned ‘End of Time’, followed by ‘Willow Tree’, his debut EP “Better than Love” released in 2013 (5 songs), and the hit singles “End of Time” (2013), “Here We Are” (2017), “Only Want You Naked” (2019), “Still Go a Dance(“2020) and “Rub A Dub” (2022).
- “Music is my passion, and though Reggae / Rocksteady is where I was born, I just want to make music! and I very much look forward to making music of all genres, for people all over the world.”
