Like many successful Jamaican entertainers, Warrior King gained his earliest stage experience in talent shows. "I started out with school concerts at first," he says. "At the time when I just came inna music, I used to do some combinations with a yout' named Likkle Blacks, Marlon Stewart. We used to do Tastee's Talent Show together, so we could really start getting exposed and gain experience." When he first started out Warrior King chatted in a hardcore deejay style, like his original hero, Bounty. A switch to the more holistic "singjay" sound came gradually. "It's a natural thing what just grow inside of me, even without me realizing," the singer reasons. "People started telling me they hear I can sing now. So, really and truly it's just a natural change." Even his name is an extension of this evolution. "I changed my name from 'Junior King' to 'Warrior King' because it have a more spiritual feel to it. Fighting against oppression, fighting against wrong. I'm Jah warrior, yuh know, fighting a war of rootical love.
Warrior King's 2001 debut single, "Virtuous Woman," was an international smash, its righteous lyrics prompting the Jamaica Observer to declare the singer "one of the artistes who made a difference in 2001." Since that auspicious beginning, Warrior King's compositions have consistently charted not only in his native Jamaica, but throughout the entire Caribbean, as well as New York, London, Tokyo and beyond. "A Friend Indeed" is currently getting heavy rotation in Jamaica, while "Jah Is Always There" was a recent summer smash on Atlanta's More Fire chart. The inclusion of "Never Go Where Pagans Go" on VP Records' compilation set "Reggae Gold 2002" further raised the artist's profile. Also included are "Virtuous Woman," "Never Go Where the Pagans Go" and other compositions that have built Warrior King's reputation.
Now the conscious singer has released his first full-length album. His VP Records debut, Virtuous Woman, features production by such heavy hitters as Sheldon 'Calibud' Stewart, Richard "Chabano" Brown, Lion Paw and Penthouse as well as guest appearances by Jahmali and dub poet, DYCR. With titles like "Love Jah and Live" and "Boast Not Myself," the CD's seventeen tracks are designed, says Warrior King, to "uplift people's heart, mind and soul in a positive way. All of the songs are written by me, through inspiration of the Father. Everybody can relate to a song on the album, I'm sure of that." The album opens up with "Power To Chant," a spiritual invocation of Jah that neatly sets the tone for what's to follow. Each song featured on the cd has a different style, but the message emphasizes purity and truth.
Warrior King believes that education is the key to betterment and hopes that his music will serve to convey the teachings of His Imperial Majesty, Hailie Selassie I. "As a Rastafarian you just don't sing music, you sing music with a purpose and a mission. To the four corners of the Earth," says Warrior King, "I carry my music, and the message of the King. And the message of love, to all people of all races."

The lyrics of Warrior King's song "Who Feels It" convey a powerful message about perseverance, resilience, and the ability to overcome challenges. The opening lines assert the singer's strength and determination as the king of warriors, ready to break down barriers and carry heavy burdens. The reference to "sticks and stones may break my bones" suggests a readiness to face physical harm and danger in order to protect oneself and others.
The mention of Jah, a term often used to refer to God in Rastafarian belief, underscores the singer's faith and belief in a higher power that guides and supports him through difficult times. The phrase "moving like a rolling stone" conveys a sense of momentum and forward movement, despite facing obstacles and adversity. Lighting the chalice, a symbol of spiritual connection and enlightenment, shows a desire for upliftment and guidance in challenging circumstances.
The lyrics also criticize societal systems such as the Babylon system, which the singer suggests is built on myth and falsehood. The theme of experiencing hardship and enduring struggles is emphasized, with a call to recognize and empathize with others who may be going through similar difficulties. The repeated refrain "Who feel it known it" highlights the shared experiences of struggle and the importance of understanding and supporting one another.
The final verses challenge listeners to consider the consequences of their actions and to empathize with others by walking in their shoes. The recurring themes of carrying heavy burdens, facing dangers, and finding strength in faith and community are woven throughout the song, reinforcing a message of resilience and unity. The imagery of being a protective presence, like a rolling stone that keeps moving forward, encapsulates the singer's determination to overcome obstacles and press on despite challenges.
