Braintear Spookie

Jason dale White popularly known as Braintear Spookie was born and raised in Tower Hill, Kingston, Jamaica. He attended the Mount Carmel Academy where he was known by his classmates as a rising star. His father, Chris White was a lover of reggae and dancehall music and was keen on taking Spookie to stage shows even at an early age. Spookie soon grew an interest in acts such as Bounty Killer for his stamina and versatility and Vybz Kartel for his lyrical content. Both became his musical influences leading to his move in 2009 to pursue music as a career composing singles in the reggae and dancehall genre. His first single was produced by Black Roots Productions while he was still in school. He aimed to create ‘dynamic’ music that his growing fan base could enjoy. In 2012 he recorded the single ‘Can’t tek mi Life’ produced by Kemar ‘Vershawn’ Brown which created a buzz in the dancehall community. Spookie soon realized the power of good productions and took to the streets to further promote the single and to celebrate his growing career. With the help of several friends and his road manager Diling Wah, he campaigned in the streets and soon after released yet another single entitled ‘Bad mi Bad’ which was recorded in Mixing Lab in Kingston, Jamaica. In early 2013 Spookie migrated to the United Kingdom.<br>
