Most reggae fans became acquainted with Richie Spice in 2004 when his single “Earth A Run Red” began its ascent on the charts, first in Jamaica, then internationally, ultimately emerging as one of the year “biggest hits despite being more than four years old! “Earth a Run Red” was originally featured on Spice’s debut album Universal released by the Cambridge, Massachusetts based label Heartbeat Records in 2000. In early 2004 Spice signed with 5th Element, a Kingston based management company/record label and they began a vigorous promotional campaign for “Earth A Run Red” in Jamaica, which resulted in the song’s steady rotation on the airwaves and in the dancehalls. A subsequent video brought even greater visibility to Spice’s career and it wasn’t long before he became one of the most sought after artists for stage shows across the island. October 2012, Richie Spice’s latest production, his personal baby, ‘Soothing Sounds Acoustic’ album, was released. 'Soothing Sounds Acoustic', distributed by Tads International, has garnered a household name for itself, such like Richie Spice.
