Burning Spear is an artist who is identified as Winston Rodney by his real name, is known to sing reggae music. This genre is characterized by inspirational messages that aim at encouraging people to live good pure life. Besides singing, his songs normally act as preaching pieces to his audience.

Winston musical career began in the late 1960s when he met with Coxsone Dodds at a studio with the help of the great reggae legend Bob Marley. Him and Rupert Willington recorded their first three tracks and named them Door peep. Another artist named Delroy joined their group immediately after the album gained popularity.

The lines in his music are full of emotions as they talk about oppression of the poor. He encourages people to have self reliance and determination as the key characteristics. His tracks have a sense of holiness and dwell so much on cultural themes thereby passing good morals to all who listen his music.

Both the slavery days and Marcus Garvey tracks were released after spear and his band members joined forces with producer Jack Ruby. A full album by the name Marcus Garvey was later released and it turned out to be the highly rated that Jamaica has ever released. Later Rodney joined the island label and continued with his career.

In order to maintain his position in the music industry, he set up an own label with his name and debuted it with the single Traveling. Two more singles named Spear Burning and The Youth quickly followed. In the 1970s, Man in the Hills was released and it emphasized more on the rural themes.

Rodney with his two band mates broke up but he retained the name Burning spear. The singer was just by himself when he released the album Dry and Heavy. After signing his label to EMI, spear recorded a brand new album Hail H. I. M. At Bob Marley studios. Rodney entered a new era when he began exploring non cultural themes. It was at this stage that he did a track by the name She is Mine.

Winston did the fittest of the fittest which was out shined by the album Resistance. A number of his albums have been nominated at the Grammy award and have earned him great honor and respect including resistance and calling Rastafarian. Mistress music was poorly produced and did not do well in the industry although a better album known as Live in Paris was produced the same year.

A number of Burning Spear music normally address the real life experiences that people encounter in their day to day activities. He is currently a reputed international artiste who is good in producing the roots sub-genre of the reggae genre. Mek We Dweet was a track performed after his return a European tour back to Island label.
