Little Hero - Winston Sill

Little Hero's first single, 'God Alone', defines the premise on which his career now stands. Hard work and determination have brought his single, 'Prayer Time', to the current number one spot in the country.

His talent may have been overlooked, and despite not having the glitz and glamour of his counterparts, he is grounded on spreading only positive messages. "Some man seh they are mad man, some say they are bad man. Mi a God man." Little Hero said.

The artiste has been around for over 12 years, but has had major setbacks. Around 1998, a car crash interrupted the progression of what seemed to be a rising star then. That hindered him for about three years, but then he reappeared and melted right back into the woodwork as soon as he could with his comeback single, No More War.

His very first performing days started at the Roof Night Club in Ocho Rios, but he was hindered by the fact that he did not live in Jamaica's entertainment capital, Kingston.

He likened this experience to that of Bob Marley. "You don't get the right amount of respect because yuh come from country. Dem feel you have to be a town artiste fi get a buss," Little Hero said.

But he has come a far way. In fact, he has been making appearances on some of this summer's main stage shows. His most recent stints include appearances on Champions in Action and Reggae Sunsplash. "Sunsplash, I think was one of my best performance. I don't go out and deal with the whole heap of bad words and slackness," Little Hero said.

He said a big part of his fight at stage shows comes when he is often forced to perform after other well-known artistes who create fuss about when they should perform.

But he has been patient and his newest single, Prayer Time, is now getting the buzz around town. "I want to spread my message the right way so that people can learn from what I am doing and keep singing it even after I am dead."

Music seems to be the only thing Little Hero wants to do. He said, without music, he does not know what he would do. "God bless me with his gift so I can help other people," he said.

He remains committed to spreading nothing but love in all his songs. "We have to put God in front. God is love and right now the world need love," Little Hero said.
