Mark Dyer, known globally by his stage name Warrior King, was born on July 27, 1979, in Kingston, Jamaica, to parents Tass and Doreen Dyer. He spent his early years in Clarendon before returning to Kingston, where he was immersed in the rich cultural and musical heritage of the city. From a young age, Dyer exhibited a profound affinity for music, participating in school concerts and local talent shows, including the renowned Tastee Talent Show. Initially performing under the moniker “Bounty Junior” as a tribute to his mentor Bounty Killer, he later adopted the name “Warrior King,” bestowed upon him by fellow artist Frisco Kid, reflecting a more spiritual and conscious direction in his musical journey
Warrior King is celebrated not only for his musical talents but also for his unwavering commitment to positive messaging and social advocacy. His music consistently emphasizes themes of love, respect, education, and spiritual consciousness. A devout Rastafarian, he draws inspiration from the teachings of Haile Selassie I, promoting unity and religious tolerance through his lyrics. Beyond the stage, Warrior King actively engages in community initiatives, advocating for environmental sustainability and youth empowerment. His involvement with global movements like Team Seas underscores his dedication to creating a better world through both music and action.
Balancing his passion for music with academic pursuits, Warrior King attended St. Andrew Technical High School in Kingston. He furthered his education at the National Tool and Engineering Institute, where he studied mechanical engineering. Additionally, he explored studies in Human Rights and African Awareness, reflecting his deep interest in social issues and cultural heritage. This educational background has informed his music, infusing it with messages that encourage learning, self-awareness, and societal progress.
Warrior King’s professional music career was catapulted into the international spotlight with the release of his debut single “Virtuous Woman” in 2001, produced by Michael “Lion Paw” Johnson. The song’s uplifting message celebrating women’s virtues resonated globally, topping reggae charts in Jamaica and New York. His debut album of the same name followed in 2002 under VP Records, featuring hits like “Never Go Where Pagans Go” and “Empress So Divine.” Subsequent albums, including “Hold the Faith” (2005), “Love is in the Air” (2009), “Tell Me How Me Sound” (2011), and “The Rootz Warrior” (2016), solidified his reputation as a leading figure in roots reggae. Warrior King has toured extensively across continents, performing at major festivals and collaborating with esteemed artists and producers, thereby enriching the global reggae landscape.
“I believe in good works that can last for a lifetime. I believe in doing it properly because it’s going to represent what I stand for. I’m a Rastaman; I believe in truths and rights, so the music I put out there must be representative of I and I self.”

Positive lyrics, catchy beats, handful of master pieces. Timeless album.

さすがですね。文句なしに歌がウマイから聴き応えがある!声に表情があるから聴いてて飽きないし。何年たってもレゲエ好きなら手元に置いておきたい。シズラの“聴かせる”声が好きな人にはヒットするんじゃないでしょうか?
“Warrior King’s ‘The Rootz Warrior’ is the best album he has done in fourteen years. The class of this album ranks alongside the very best material that he has produced at any point in his career.”
“Warrior Kings voice is so powerful and strong it’s nice to hear a different variation in delivery on this track. Just a guitar and King’s sweet voice is all this track is, it doesn’t need anything else.”
“Warrior King views his music as a tool for healing and education:
“Music heals people and I’m the healer; this is my artist’s duty.”
He emphasizes the importance of uplifting messages, particularly focusing on the empowerment of women and the promotion of unity and love.”
