Lady Saw — Queen of Dancehall
Introduction:
Marion Marie Hall (born 12 July 1969 in Galina, Saint Mary, Jamaica), known throughout the world as Lady Saw, is the undisputed Queen of Dancehall — the most important, influential and trailblazing female artist in the history of Jamaican music. The first female deejay to win a Grammy Award. The first to be certified as a triple-platinum recording artist. The first woman to headline dancehall shows outside Jamaica. A fearless lyricist who carved space for female perspectives in a male-dominated genre, who collaborated with Gwen Stefani and No Doubt on their Grammy-winning triple-platinum hit "Underneath It All", who appeared alongside Vitamin C, Missy Elliott, Nicki Minaj and Paul McCartney, and who — in 2015 — walked away from it all to follow a calling to gospel music as Minister Marion Hall. Extraordinary from start to finish.
From Galina to Kingston's Dancehall:
Growing up in the rural village of Galina in Saint Mary, the young Marion Hall sold fruits and raced wooden karts as a child. At fifteen she began performing with local sound systems — notably the Stereo One system in Kingston — and in 1987 took the stage name Lady Saw in tribute to the great Jamaican deejay Tenor Saw, whose style inspired her. She quit a sewing job at The Free Zone on the outskirts of Kingston to pursue music full time. Her first single "Love Me or Lef Me" received significant airplay, and her breakthrough hits "If Him Lef" and "Find a Good Man" established her as Jamaica's most exciting new female voice.
While gun talk and masculine themes dominated the early 1990s dancehall scene, Lady Saw sang explicit, sexually frank lyrics from a female perspective — bringing a bold new energy to the genre. Male performers doing similar material were celebrated; Lady Saw was banned from shows in multiple Jamaican parishes. She refused to tone down, and kept going. Her 1994 debut album Lover Girl and its follow-up Give Me the Reason (1996) made her one of Jamaica's most controversial and commercially successful artists. Her 1997 album Passion charted at number 8 on Billboard's Top Reggae Albums chart — her first US charting album.

Grammy, Triple Platinum & Global Impact:
Her 1999 appearance on Vitamin C's single "Smile" was gold-certified by the RIAA. Her 2002 collaboration with No Doubt on "Underneath It All" — featuring Pharrell Williams — went triple-platinum and won the Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Lady Saw became the first female Jamaican deejay to win a Grammy. She established The Lady Saw Foundation to support abused and needy women in 2003. Her 2004 album Strip Tease was widely considered her finest and most complete work. She founded her own Divas Records label in 2010. In December 2015 she was baptised, and took back her birth name Marion Hall — performing since then exclusively as a gospel minister.
