No parables from Tarrus Riley
No parables from Tarrus Riley – Singer clear on ambition, desire
To say that music is in Tarrus Riley’s blood is an understatement. Being the son of famed reggae vocalist Jimmy Riley (of Love and Devotion fame) may well have given him the music bug. But the rising reggae crooner admits that it wasn’t actually his famous father who gave him musical encouragement.
“My father never really told me to sing,” says Riley. “He didn’t actually know I could sing. It was my mother who was more encouraging on that score. But my father is supportive now.”
