Singer songwriter Nimroy Hendricks was born in Jamaica, in the mountains of Portland where he was inspired to write songs at the young age of 12. The first of these being, “King Jah” which has recently been recorded and released.
During these formative years, Nimroy listened to a wide range of music from soul , rhythm & blues, jazz, reggae, gospel, rock, and country. Music comes to Nimroy in a particular way where he comes up with the melodies first, and then writes the lyrics afterwards.

The mission is to create music that inspires people and brings happiness into their lives. We hope this song currently being released , will be one that you all enjoy and love to listen to. One Love!
