Career

Even as a teenager, Mark Dyer felt drawn to music, but initially tried his best to get his education, including at St. Andrew Technical and the National Tools Engineering Institute, he only appeared at school concerts and talent competitions.

In the late 1990s, Dyer and his fellow DJ Little Blacks (Marlon Stewart) made it onto Jamaican radio for the first time with the Cocoa Tea- produced single Nuff a Dem a Evil . They played as a duo at numerous events and festivals before Dyer, who had since been christened by Frisco Kid Warrior King, achieved his first major and this time international chart success with the single Virtuous Woman . The song found recognition for its positive message, which also applies to Warrior King's musical style in general, which is somewhere between roots reggae , lovers rock and dancehall reggae .

In 2001, after the success of the single, his debut album of the same name, Virtuous Woman, was released with other hits, such as Never Go Where Pagans Go . The second album, Hold the Faith, followed in 2005 .
