Description
Clinton Fearon is a composer, songwriter, singer and player of instruments since his early teens, and a professional since the age of 19. He was born in Jamaica and become the bassist, vocalist and lyricist for the mythic Gladiators, as well as a session musician for Coxsonne Dodd in Studio One and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s at Black Ark, two of the main producers on the island at this time. He also composed some everlasting bass lines for well-known artists like Yabby You, Jimmy Riley, Max Romeo, Junior Byles and many others.
In 1987, when The Gladiators’ tour came to an end, Fearon formed a new band of American reggae musicians called The Defenders and permanently settled in Seattle, where the flexibility of his bandmates gave Fearon constant inspiration.
