Yvonne Curtis

A local recording producer needed a backing vocalist for his musical project and a contest was held in Stockwell, South London.

During 1994 she travelled to Germany, Nicaragua and Brazil, creating a fan base and performed on Warehouse Showcase on London's Carlton Television.

Yvonne was a regular act on the mid 1980s weekly Carlton Television show The Warehouse, presented by British comedian Miles Crawford, where she was and still is considered one of the hardest-working Jamaican female reggae vocalists in the business.

Through her challenges on the road to recognition and her upcoming documentary, Untold Reggae, which traces her life from her roots in Steer Town, Saint Ann Parish to the present, Yvonne is very excited about her future and return to performing in South America.
