Born and raised in St. Catherine , Jamaica , Courtney Henry lived in Ocho Rios for six years where he perfected my musical skills. Sparkle began singing gospel music with a band called Singspiraters. The band members included my brothers Jasper, and Joseph , my sister Jacqueline and a friend Hurly B. The band began in 1993. My other sister Yvonne was also involved. She is presently singing harmony for Luciana , a famous Jamaican Reggae singer. Music is a family affair. We all developed a love and appreciation of music in all forms at an early age.
In 1995 Sparkle joined a reggae band in Runaway Bay playing keyboards , singing lead vocals and harmony. The group was called The Roughness. In 1996 he joined a band called Blue light which was playing at Jamaica , Jamaica Resort in Runaway Bay, Jamaica WI . Sparkle ventured out into the world of Reggae- jazz, singing and playing the keyboard back in 1997. In 1998 he joined another band called Solid Heart. This was the resident band at the Jamaica Grand Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Sparkle was fortunate to perform for big stars such as Nicky, 0J Simpson, Ebony, Melvin, Nekobongo, Karen Smith, and Dennis Brown. He was also involved with the Fire Dance extravaganza.
Once in the USA , Sparkle became involved with a band "Black bean Soup", and went on tour, traveling throughout the United States . At the end of the tour he became involved with the band Crucial, which was the house band at Rumrunners in Key West , Florida , playing reggae music. I also collaborated with an Irish singer, Susan Moore, singing background vocals. He later worked as a one man band, still in Key West , performing at the Westin Key west resort, Coco Palm, and doing private parties. Sparkle produced a compact disc called Island Breeze in 2000, all vocals and music performed by IrieBand.
At the present time Sparkle continue to perform in Key West as a musical artist, bringing pop reggae music to the world. |
