Followers, followers of downpression
Why do you only terrorize the poor
Diluting the fact they are human
Who one day will not take it any more, woh

Take it from your brother Everton Blender
Now is the time for you to get stronger
Wise up, wise up and temper your hunger

It's a ghetto people song, only them can sing this one
It's a song for the poor who's facing sufferation

Ghetto People Song

The large number of hits Everton has accrued is most impressive for an artist who has been in the business for such a seemingly short period of time. But like many of Jamaica's biggest musical stars, the road to fame wasn't a short or easy one.

In 1991 he voiced the autobiographical "Create a Sound" track. The song described Everton's experiences in the music business and with the Rasta faith. It was released the following year on the Star Trail label, and it was Everton Blender's first hit. 1994's "Lift Up Your Head" (HB 169) was Everton's full length debut, and featured "Create a Sound," along with the hits, "Family Man," "Bring di Kutchie," "My Father's Home," "Gwaan Natty," and the title track, which would go on to become one of the biggest anthems of the 1990's.

Everton recorded for Star Trail and other labels, scoring many "hits" including "Blend Dem," "World Corruption," "Bob Marley," "Piece of the Blender," "The Man," and "Coming Harder," all collected on the 1996 album, Piece of the Blender: The Singles (HB 209). In 1999, Heartbeat released Everton Blender's first album of Blend Dem productions, "Rootsman Credential" (HB 227). Alongside boom shots like "Ghetto People Song," "Why Do We Have to War," and "False Words" was Everton's own productions including "Slick Me Slick," "These Hands," and many more strong statements of Everton's faith and will to succeed. Since the release of "Rootsman Credential", Everton has toured the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean-establishing himself as one of the top touring forces from Jamaica. "Live at the White River Reggae Bash" (HB 242) captures Everton performing his most popular material with the Blend Dem band. Blender's album "King Man" (HB 258) was released in 2003 August. "King Man" is one of Blender's legacies of excellent reggae music for the discerning listener. Consist of a lot of positive vibes, Lover's rock and culture, Sweetness and peace in the dancehall. Everton Blender then released the next spanking conscious album call "It's My Time" (2005) on the Canadian base recording company Explorer Records.

The voice of conscious dancehall, and whose faith has never faltered and whose vision has never dimmed.

A true 'Natty Dread', Everton lifts up heads in knowledge, and awareness, in the voice of solidarity, blackness and strength. Blender has long been an advocate for the down trodden and disposed, but he is also one of reggae's most beloved dancehall artiste. Never straying from the straight and narrow way, Everton blender carries on the tradition of the great voices of Jamaica. 2010 sees Everton Blender returning to European stages for the first time since 2007 and with a brand new album to thrill his countless fans. The opening act will be his daughter Isha. Everton Blender will perform Ostroda Reggae Festival as his first ever visit to Poland.
