Born Marvin Christopher Walker in Kingston, Jamaica, Walker.T attended Maxfield Park Primary and Norman Manley High Schools. His gift of melody was realized at an early age. He would frequent local recording studios consistently approaching recording producers and challenging any act brave enough for a serious face off. With an intent approach to stamp his true authority in the music fraternity, Walker.T worked assiduously, stirring a tremendous amount of interest and attention. He began focusing his attention mainly on lyrics relating to the everyday ghetto struggles, both in Jamaica and abroad. In April of 1993 he had to migrate to the USA but continued in his effort to make his presence felt, traveling across the country (USA) doing various shows, etching his name in the minds of the people and strengthening his fan base. While in the U.S. he continued making positive strides in the music industry and seriously furthered his education: At age sixteen (16), he attended the International Theological Seminary of California where he obtained a Bachelor in Theology in 1996; he also attended the University at Buffalo along with various other colleges. He received an Associate in Arts from Columbia College as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration with a minor in Finance. After a successful college education, Walker.T joined the United States Marine Corps in May 1998 where he served as an infantryman to include a tour in Iraq, which includes the initial invasion in 2003. He served with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines in Camp Pendleton, California where he was assigned to Weapons Company, the mortar platoon (81’s). Walker.T served eight (8) years in the Marines after which he was honorably discharged as a Sergeant in 2006. Such was the magnetism and the love Walker.T had for Reggae music, he immediately seized the opportunity of re-igniting his musical flame, filled with energy, creativity and versatility and with great expectation of making his presence felt. Intent on proving himself a force to be reckoned with, in September 2005 Walker.T recorded “Dance” a maxi single on the Tempo production label, he also recorded the album “The Beginning” for JP Productions in that same year. Walker.T also recorded two tracks for the U.S. Pop group Strykers Club on their latest album "Unleashed", these singles were well received across the U.S. and Europe. Walker.T became apart of the Rap Label "Crenshaw Entertainment" and was a big part of their roster. He released his single "Let me see what you're working with" and shot the music video in Long beach California 2005. His hot new single “I Cry” produced by Unseen Lab, is presently experiencing favorable airplay on radio stations, sound systems and in the nightclubs.
