Di Genius (Born: 6 January 1990) real name Stephen McGregor, is a Grammy Award Winning music producer, singer, and songwriter from kingston, Jamaica. Di Genius comes from a musical family—his father is legendary veteran reggae artist Freddie McGregor and his siblings, Daniel "Chino" McGregor and Yeshemabeth "Shema" McGregor, are also singers. While Di Genius was primarily known for producing riddims out of his "Big Ship" recording studio, he has gone on to produce and write songs for international artists such as Sean Paul, Drake , Nelly Furtado , Lianne La Havas, Shakira, John Legend among others.The New York Times Named him a "Reggae Veteran At The Age of 18"
Stephen McGregor is the son of legendary reggae singer Freddie McGregor.The year before, his father had passed up a record deal from Arista Records, choosing instead to create his own record label, which he named Big Ship after his 1982 hit single from the album of the same name. When he renovated the family home in 1995, Freddie McGregor had a small but high-tech recording studio built to produce music for the label, and Stephen took a shine to the studio at an early age. His father recalls of the period: "If we saw the door was open, we’d know Stephen was in there. He was just so short you couldn’t see him over the mixing desk." His father nurtured his interest in music by bringing him along on tour, and the young McGregor would often watch his father's performances from the side of the stage.
Stephen McGregor wrote and recorded his first song at the age of five, a dancehall track titled "School Done Rule" which was featured on the compilation "Reggae For Kids." However, the young McGregor soon gravitated more towards the production end of songwriting, and by the age of seven he had taught himself to play bass, guitar, keyboards, and violin by mimicking the songs he heard on the radio.McGregor began his production career at the age of twelve, contributing to local production studios such as Outlaw. His first hit riddim came in 2004, while still attending Ardenne High School.

born, Shirley Brown, 6th January 1947, West Memphis, Arkansas, U.S.A.
From Arkansas, .divaofsoul is, probably, best remembered for her single 'Woman to Woman' which was released in 1974, and (unsuccessfully) nominated for a Grammy Award in 1975.
When she was a child, Shirley's family relocated to East St. Louis, Illinois, where he began to sing in a Baptist church at the age of 10.
Having focused mainly on spiritual performances, she began to concentrate more on secular music and sang with many of St Louis's local Soul singers.
Shirley met Oliver Sain, who helped her record some songs for the ABET imprint including 'I Ain't Gonna Tell' and 'Love is Built on a Strong Foundation'.
Her performances came to the attention of Albert King, who later became her manager.
Albert had spent several years working on the St. Louis nightclub circuit prior to recording the Jim Stewart / Al Jackson produced 'Woman To Woman', with Shirley, for the Stax subsidiary, Truth, in 1974.
Written by the songwriting team of Homer Banks and Henderson Thigpen, the song encapsulated the 'cheating' genre of Soul Music.
The song not only became a massive hit in its own right, it inspired several 'answer' songs in the process, amongst which Millie Jackson's 'Still Caught Up' is a good example.
woman to woman 1974
'Woman To Woman' was the last hit for the Stax label and its success delayed its bankruptcy for several months.
Shirley relocated to the Arista imprint, and was one of the first signings by Clive Davis.
Recently, Shirley said, of those days, 'At Arista, Clive Davis wanted me to do a Bette Midler song or something like Barbra Streisand. I could probably sing those kinds of songs, but I didn't feel them'.

Shirley had further R & B hits with 'It Ain't No Fun' (1975) and 'Blessed Is The Woman (With A Man Like Mine)' (1977), and continued her recording career into the millennium recording with the Malaco subsidiary Dome.
A couple of seven inch 45's were recorded in the mid eighties.
Both released in 1986, 'Shootin' a Blank was recorded for the Chelsea Avenue Records imprint.

Born January 4th 19xx) in Kingston, Jamaica, Freddie Notes launched his career on the famous Vera Johns Jamaican talent show and promptly went onto cut his first record for Studio One Records. Immigrating to London in 1964 success soon followed when his band The Rudies recorded for Trojan Records. Hits came thick and fast… “Return from South Vietnam”, “Down on the Farm”, “The Bull” and the global smash hit “Montego Bay” making The Rudies the most in demand reggae band of the day.
In a golden age for the London music scene Freddie started a weekly residency at Soho hotspot The Cue Club run by fellow Jamaican musical pioneer and entrepreneur Count Suckle. Everyone came through there; Otis Redding, Ike & Tina, Small Faces, The Stones, The Beatles and Freddie was at the heart of it. He soon became lauded as Jamaica’s No.1 Entertainer, famed for not only his songs and voice but his electrifying dancing. So much so that he was once asked to leave the stage at Brixton Odeon whilst opening for James Brown, for fear he’d upstage the Godfather of Soul! “Mr. Brown doesn’t like that” a heavy handed security guard remarked at the time.
Little Richard offered Freddie a job as his dancer. Much to soul legend, and new found friend, Ben E King’s disgust Freddie turned the offer down. National tours ensued with The Kinks, The Nice and Arthur Brown. One famed night the founder of be-bop Dizzy Gillespee gatecrashed the stage to play mouth-harp with them. Mick Jagger befriended the band and invited them to perform at his wedding to Bianca. Then, just when it seemed they could do no wrong, The Rudies split. Freddie continued a solo career and went onto have an international success with his hit “Walk A Mile In My Shoes”. Under advice from his Wardour Street booking agent he turned down a role in Jesus Christ Superstar and set sail for the far-east, where he’d repeatedly perform ‘Montego Bay’ for the next few years.
In 1982 Freddie returned to the UK.
