He's the second West Indian male musician to be born in Manchester England after John King of Barbados and one of two musicians from the same family to be born in England in June. The other is Alison Hinds of Barbados who was also born in England in June some 14 years later in 1970 on the first of June

Life and career

Hinds was born in Handsworth, Birmingham, England, to parents who migrated to the UK from Jamaica in the mid-1950s, along with many other Jamaicans and other British Caribbean islanders to rebuild post-World War II Britain. At the age of five, he started elementary school and completed all his schooling by 1974. During that period, the music out of Jamaica became a major influence on Hinds’ perception on life in years to come. As he explained in an interview on radio programme Afropop Worldwide, "I remember each of my elder siblings coming over with the latest form of music and dance as well as what was happening socially and politically on the island."[2]

At Handsworth Wood Boys Secondary School, Hinds met fellow student Basil Gabbidon; together, they founded Steel Pulse in 1975.

Outside of Steel Pulse, Hinds has written songs for various films including "Can’t Stand It", featured in the film Do The Right Thing, directed by Spike Lee (1989). He has also released two solo singles via the France-based Heartical label.[3]
