Born Simon Jonathan Vassell in Worcheister England to Jamaican-born parents, Humble was exposed to music at an early age. The sweet sound of reggae music had hypnotized the youngster by the tender age of three after hearing a song by an american-born reggae artist named Johnny Nash called "Tears on my Pillow". "I would sing the song to anyone willing to listen". Humble's parents then returned to Jamaica . "My mother was born in St.Elizabeth so anytime I went back it was there I would go, love the country". Humble moved with his family to Toronto when he was three. In grade three Humble took the mandatory musical aptitude test and later learned he had scored the highest pecentage in his entire school. "Hearing a note sequence or a tone and retaining it in my head was very easy, just have to hear it once". As he entered his adolescence years Humble's parents had divorced and he moved to the community of Rexdale. Staying out of trouble was'nt too hard as his reserved and quiet demeanor gained curiosity and respect from those around him. When Humble was in his late teens he bought a guitar and found his passion in creating music and his own unique sound. So far Humble's journey has caused him to meet many artists and people in the music industry. In October 2005 Humble released his debut album titled "Hard To See" on the Soundcheck Records label. Humble has opened for many international artists such as Junior Kelly, popular dub poet Mutabaruka, and roots reggae's legendary Abyssinnians to name a few. At the present time Humble is working towards collaborating with some of Toronto's top reggae artists to help build the reggae reputation in Canada. Humble will be in Trinidad and Tobago in May 2006 for Borough day reggaefest, also look out for Humble at the 2006 Montreal International Reggae Festival as well a performance at the 1st annual Reggaestar competition also held in Montreal. It's clearly not Hard to See that Humble is definately going places. 2006 Reggae Intl. Magazine
