Siccaturie Alcock, famously known also as Jah Cure, is recognized today as “The High Priest of Reggae” and singer songwriter with a ghetto voice wailing through his songs.
Born in Hanover, Jamaica on October 11, 1978, but raised in Kingston Town, golden-voiced singer Jah Cure became involved with reggae music as a teenager and rapidly rose to fame in the late ’90s before his musical journey was suddenly and unexpectedly interrupted with imprisonment. The soulful voice of Jah Cure has rocked reggae music and hypnotized fans across the world through captivating live performances and steady stream of chart topping hits over the last decade winning him critical plus popular acclaim and naturally propelling him into stardom and cementing his status as a bona fide reggae superstar with a growing crossover appeal today.

Some of Jah Cure’s chart hits: Call on Me, Nothing, Journey, Longing For, From My Heart, Before I Leave, Never Find, Journey, To Your Arms Of Love, Every Corner I Turn, 2010, Respect, Love Is, What Will It Take & more!
