Biography

Early Life & Careers (90s)

[edit]

Born Jason Andrew Williams on the 9th of May, 1974, in Port Antonio, Portland, Jamaica, Williams is best known for his 1995 collaboration with Wayne Wonder. He then went on to record "African Thing" with Prezident Brown (released on Island/Mango, the success of which led him to work with producers such as Bobby "Digital" (Funny, Funny), Donovan Germain (All That Glitters), Steely and Clevie (Hard Core), as well as Grammy award winning prducer Jim Jonsin(who has worked on songs such as Space Bound, by Eminem and Lollipop by Lil' Wayne). He maintained an high profile in Jamaica in the late 90s with the singles Gal It Wouldn’t Easy, You Own Di Man, La La La, Golden Child and Livin’ In A Dream. In 1997 he released his debut album. In the same year he appeared at Sting '97 with then newcomer Sean Paul with whom Williams had attended school (it should be noted that Paul considers Williams his mentor). In the later half of the 90s the studios that handled Williams' music were delivering thousands of Ddancehall releases, and much of Williams' later work went unreleased as a result; some hope emerged, however, when the Jamaican Government asked the island’s producers to limit the number of releases.[2]

Later Career and International Success (2000s - Present)

In 2005, Yute signed a deal with Capitol Records.[3]
