Tallpree

Born July 29, 1973, on the Spice Island of Grenada, Wilt Cambridge, popularly known as Tallpree, has become a favorite of "old women" and young alike. Although his 1999 hit "Old Woman Alone" has brought him a new recognition with its phenomenal success, Tallpree has been on the music scene since 1989. For years he performed as the opening dancehall act for many of the big name artists that visited Grenada such as Super Cat, Maxi Priest, Barrington Levy, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer and Buju Banton. Well received by his Jamaican peers, he has even participated in clashes with Merciless and Sean Paul in Grenada. Tallpree has great admiration for Bounty Killer because his lyrics have a political message that reaches out to the poorer classes, and that is something that he feels relates to his own life and style of song writing. While remaining the #1 Dancehall artist in Grenada, Tallpree made the switch to soca. Tallpree is a Cultural Ambassador to Grenada and promotes culture through his annual carnival concert Preeday and Uncle Tallpree's Kids Fete.
