Blessed (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blessed is the stage name of Peter Skinner, a Jamaican-Canadian reggae musician.[1] He is most noted as a two-time Juno Award winner for Reggae Recording of the Year, winning at the Juno Awards of 2002 for "Love (African Woman)"[2] and at the Juno Awards of 2006 for "Reggae Time".[3]

Originally from Seaforth Town in Jamaica's Saint Thomas Parish, Skinner moved to Toronto, Ontario in the late 1980s,[4] and began his musical career performing with the Redd Flames sound system.[1] Most of his releases have been individual singles, although he has also released a full-length album and several mixtapes.

In addition to his two Juno Award wins, he has been nominated in the reggae category nine other times over the course of his career.
