He was born in Jamaica and become the bassist, vocalist and lyricist for the mythic Gladiators, as well as a session musician for Coxsonne Dodd in Studio One and Lee 'Scratch' Perry's at Black Ark, two of the main producers on the island at this time. He also composed some everlasting bass lines for well-known artists like Yabby You, Jimmy Riley, Max Romeo, Junior Byles and many others.
After leaving Jamaica 1987, Clinton Fearon started a new career in Seattle. With other musicians of the Gladiators, he decided to stay in the US and founded The Defenders. The band built a nice following in the Northwest. After five years the band split and Clinton Fearon formed the Boogie Brown Band with local musicians in 1993. Clinton recorded eight albums with Boogie Brown Band and two albums in solo acoustic.
Each song of Clinton Fearon is a strong message coming from the heart of a man who dedicates his life to help a better world to come. With chiselled music and poetic lyrics, he opens reggae to a wider audience who simply loves his beautiful songs.
"My music is roots reggae from the island of Jamaica. I grew up deep in the hills, up in St. Catherine, surrounded by nature, beauty and hard work. Even as a child, I knew I wanted to be a musician and began my career singing in church and at school, and eventually built my own guitar! As a teenager, my journeys took me to Kingston where I met many musicians and began writing and recording music. The Skatalites, Motown artists and Jamaican musicians who came before me all influenced my music. I write from my heart. The world is full of inspirations... nature, people, politics, love. I write about them all. My music is good for the soul - always with a message of hope and betterment for tomorrow. It's good for dancing, good for listening and I think it's good for all." - Clinton Fearon

Clinton and his band are the real deal. He has such great stage presence, human presence, and musicianship. It’s obvious he loves his craft, and enjoys bringing joy to people. Such a great show. Wish it would have been on the earlier side, and the breaks between bands and sets were quite long, but the music was well worth it.

After leaving Jamaica in 1987, CLINTON FEARON started a new career in Seattle. Him and some of the musicians of The Gladiators took advantage of the extra time remaining on their visa, at the end of the US tour, to start a band in the Northwest : The Defenders. The band built a good fanbase in the area until they split after five years.
CLINTON FEARON finally formed his own band in the mid 90s with local musicians in Seattle : CLINTON FEARON & the Boogie Brown Band. For his European tours, he has teamed up with another backing band, The Riddim Source, since 2019. It was an instant hit, so much so that they recorded his next albums together in France.
CLINTON FEARON recorded fifteen albums under his own name and travels the world with this impressive repertoire. He performs at major festivals on every continent, from the United States and Europe to Brazil and Africa, and as far afield as New Caledonia and Hong Kong.

Every Clinton Fearon song is a powerful message from the heart of a man who dedicates his life to making the world a better place. His songs, often political, are nonetheless fundamentally warm, carried by a faith in humanity and love that seems unshakeable. With his relentless bass lines, chiselled music and poetry, he opens up reggae to a wider audience who simply love his beautiful songs.
