Born Miguel Collins on April 17, 1976 in St Mary, Jamaica, Sizzla Kalonji is considered as one of the most prolific artists within the homegrown reggae and dancehall movement. Emerging in the latter half of the 90’s, he began his career in the music industry in his early teenage years, he earned his moniker from Mr. Homer Harris because of his burning appetite for hot soup.After honing his skills, he landed a gig with the Caveman Hi-Fi sound system, where he first made a name for himself as a performer. He cut his first single for the small Zagalou label in 1995, and then Mr. Harris introduced him to Bobby “Digital” Dixon and Luciano. This eventually led to extensive touring with fellow roots and culture artist Luciano, later earning Sizzla critical acclaim.
