whatever happened to snow who sang that song 'informer'?

Question

is he even on the planet anymore?

Answer 1

i dont know, but what a song, bring back memories for me lol just got this from wikipedia
Although Snow's subsequent albums performed poorly except in Japan and Jamaica, he returned to the Canadian pop charts in 2000 with "Everybody Wants to Be Like You", from the album Mind on the Moon, and is working on a new album with Red Zone and Trackmasters due out in 2007.

Answer 2

Discovered by executive producer David Kenneth Eng and Steve Salem, Snow had signed a contract to record on their Motorjam/Elektra record label. His 1993 debut album was 12 Inches of Snow. MC Shan produced the entire album, apart from one track which was produced by John Ficarrotta. The album was produced shortly before Snow was imprisoned for a year on an assault charge. Upon his release from prison, his first single "Informer," featuring MC Shan, became a chart topping hit. The song spent seven consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It later went on to become the biggest selling reggae record of all time as listed in Guinness Book of Records.[citation needed]

His other hits have included "Lonely Monday Morning", "Girl I've Been Hurt", "Anything for You" and "Sexy Girl".

Ficarrotta and Shan also worked on Snow's second album, Murder Love, which also featured production work by Junior Reid, Hurby "LuvBug" Azor, and others, as well as guest appearances by Junior Reid, Ninjaman, HalfPint and others.

I also didn't know this. He's related to Steven Page of the Barenaked Ladies. Cool eh.
Merry Christmas!

Answer 3

Snow, a.k.a. Darrin O'Brien (born October 30, 1969, in North York, Ontario), is still around. After "Informer", subsequent albums didn't go well in the United States. But he's still been doing music, and is supposed to have something coming out in 2007.

Answer 4

To my knowledge he's still making music. He's done 5 CD's since his 1993 debut and they've all done poorly. He's supposed to be coming out with a new cd in 2007.

Answer 5

He now finds solace as an off-licence employee in Stoke On Trent, where his work found its most fervent reception, and he is preparing to have a Christmas Of Rock, with some oatcakes and cheese involved.
