Tarique started singing from as early as he can remember. He grew up in Pigeon Valley in upper St. Andrew, where he would climb a mango tree and sing night and day, rain or shine. It is said by the elders of the community; that it was the same tree that Mr. Vegas started singing in when he had lived at the same house. Tarique became known asa singa in the community as a result of his singing. He went on to sing at birthday parties, community events and of course at church. He later song on the school and church choirs before moving to Stony Hill where he attended the Carpenters Memorial UB Church. He song on the Youth Chorate and a boys singing group. Currently Tarique is the praise and worship leader at his church, where he also sings at church conferences, crusades and christian functions. While at Carpentors Memorial UB Church, a church brother approached him with a song to sing. Surprisingly, he was in the studio for the first time, only 3 days later recording the song, which was entered in the JCDC Gospel Song Competition Spring 2008. The experience was enlightening and overwhelmine. It continues with the ambition of is first and new single: "Call me to the alter". The album is in production hoping to be release by Summer 2011.
