Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Junior Tucker began singing at the age of 5. At 7 he became a household name in his country performing his first #1 song “Happy” and also began travelling internationally. Without a doubt everyone knew being on stage was what he was born to do.

With tremendous success, he navigated his way through three international recording contracts which have taken him across the world. He has toured throughout the USA, UK, Japan, Mexico and the Caribbean. At 12 he was signed to Island Records and at 14 he had a recording contract with Geffen Records USA. At 23 he signed to Virgin Records UK. In 1991 Junior returned to his roots to pursue a career in Jamaican Dancehall Music. 

Dancehall brought its accolades, number one songs, singer of the year titles and a high profile lifestyle. As time progressed his life became empty. Despite so-called fortune and fame, behind the scenes his life was in pieces, spent chasing the next hit song to stay on top and fill the void. The death of his father and the birth of his first child caused a period of searching for answers to a deeper meaning to life. He penned songs like “I pray” and “Praise His Name”, having no true knowledge of the God he was singing about. Bombarded by religion, a distorted childhood and plagued by nightmares, he cried out one night “God if you are real, will you allow me to sleep?” God answered; he slept as never before. He woke up completely delivered, knowing that he was a Christian. He publicly confessed Jesus as his Lord and Saviour that week at a gospel concert in Kingston and soon after was baptized. 

It has been 9 years and he has never returned to his secular career.  He states, “There is nothing to go back to”. Coming into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ has brought clarity to his once hazed purpose and destiny. To his life God has given direction, and to his gift God has given purpose. Junior, his wife Trudy and their 3 girls, Chyna, Zoe and Paige now live in Clewiston, Florida. For the past 5 years he has submitted his life to Pastors Chuck and Karen Pelham and the bishops, Bishops Tony and Kathy Miller, whom God has used to mould and shape first the man and then his ministry.
