BIOGRAPHY

Roger Adamson, known in the music industry as “Roger Ranks”, was born in Manchester Jamaica, West Indies. He grew up in the Rose Town area of Kingston and also Rockfort in Kingston. “Roger Ranks” had an urge for the music business from he was in his teens. To pursue this desire, he started his own disco sound system, King Attack, with a few friends.

During his school career and while doing his school work the music industry still continued to be his favorite desire. “My whole heart and soul was pointed towards music,” says “Roger Ranks”. To further this love, Roger toured the island playing authentic music with the popular set, Disco One, with Al Chin, entertaining for the musical satisfaction of young and old.

Mr. Ranks migrated to the USA in 1989, but he took his musical experience with him. His first US release came out of Cosmic Force Studios entitled, “God Heart”.This was his sole production. Not to be outdone, his next release was “Things Ruff”, it went to number 10 on the radio WAVS Chart for four weeks and #4 on the Duke of Earl Chart. He then teamed up popular South Florida songstress Marcia Ball and started producing her. They both did many performing stints across South Florida, enlightening music lovers.

Marcia can be heard doing back up vocals on many of the tracks on his recent release, “I Am Home”. Also, “Roger Ranks” gives great thanks together with Marcia Ball, “Mary G”, Ron Meredith, Karl Petterson (Masters and Engineer), and all the musical crew who worked patiently and tirelessly to make his latest CD, “Lovers Talk”, a success. It will no doubt be a success considering the great tracks compiled.

“God is with me in life like a shepherd who feeds his flock, so I do not fear”, says “Roger Ranks”. Mr. Ranks has always received the full support of family, relatives and friends (especially the HQ Crew from1106 in Lauderhill). ”Roger Ranks” believes in humility, perseverance, and godliness (H.P.G.), and if this is anything to go by, with this up coming release, “Roger Ranks” will make you keep loving this multifaceted singer, songwriter, and producer.
