Abdel Wright

In the most unconventional of Cinderella stories, Jamaican singer-songwriter Abdel Wright has risen from total anonymity to the brink of international acclaim. With his brand of socially conscious, rootsy reggae, Abdel has already garnered the attention of major label Interscope and superstars like U2’s Bono, who called Abdel the "most important Jamaican artist since Marley." Keep your eyes and ears open for his self-titled debut album this fall and a 2004 tour.
