Born in Georgetown, Guyana, Mortimer Softley moved to Jamaica in 1995 to pursue his musical dreams.  With music in his veins, a message in his heart and a fierce determination, he needed to immerse himself in the reggae culture, as he stated “Coming to Jamaica was natural”.

Reggae music appealed to his senses, it gave him a voice to speak out his impassioned pleas for wrongs to be made right and justice applied in the case of the poor and oppressed that remain relevant worldwide. He says, “Like life, Reggae music inspires, and gives the artiste an opportunity to express one's self fully, regardless of the issues highlighted”.

In Jamaica the musicians he hung around would rename him Natural Black. Paying his dues voicing for such legendary producers as Gordon Lee, Jack Scorpio, Freddie McGregor and Beres Hammond, his distinctively smooth and mellow voice left an impression in the forefront of the newroots and culture movement. With a slew of modest hits, Natural Black steadily gained fans and recognition, and in 2006 became an international success with the chart topping “Far From Reality” single produced by for Multi- Platinum, Billboard chart topping producer Don Corleon .
