Verse iTal A.K.A. Stefan Wilson, has been a part of
the reggae circuit for the last 6 years. Bursting onto the scene in 2008 with the songs “Nyquil” and “Jah Puzzle”, both produced by Azikiwe
Kellar, Verse presented himself as a fast chanting reggae artist. In
the following year however, Verse showed his versatility, pledging his
unwavering faith to Rastafari, in the song “Selassie I”, where the
artist belted out his praises. The combination of singing and chanting,
which defines Verse’s sound today, was born in the crossover hit
“BluePrint”, released in early 2010.
By the end of 2010, Verse iTal had performed
extensively in his homeland of Trinidad, which included opening major
shows for Buju Banton, Beres Hammond, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, NAS and Jah Cure. The following year, after releasing the smooth love song,
“Spring Water”, iTal dropped his second album entitled, “The Fullness”.
This album, with tracks like “Pon D Hillside”, “Watch Yuhself” and the
aforementioned “Spring Water”, all produced by Beebo, highlighted
Verse’s connection to roots music.
In 2012 he took his talents to the UK and Europe. He
spent 6 months in the region, did numerous performances (Italy, London,
Netherlands and Germany), recorded new music, created more exposure
for “The Fullness” album and forged many rewarding relationships. One
relationship in particular, reunited him with the team that produced
“BluePrint” - Culture Rock Records from Germany. Together they
performed and recorded new material including a song named “Never Hurt”
that would not be released until 2013. Verse returned to his homeland
at the end of 2012, a different artist.
“Never Hurt” took Verse iTal to new heights. The blend of Culture Rock’s modern reggae sound and iTal’s delivery got listeners swinging from the first drop. It propelled him to a spot on “Reggae on the Bay 2013” in T&T where the artist shared the stage with Cocoa Tea and Tarrus Riley, just to name a few.

The artist relocated to Europe at the end of 2013, and
after doing numerous small shows, entered and won the Benelux Reggae
Contest 2014 for the MC category. He describes this victory as ‘career
changing’ as he is currently scheduled to appear in 7 festivals
including the famous Reggae Geel. Now on the heels of the release of
his latest hit single “Want No Part”, Verse iTal has emerged as one of
the bright new stars of reggae music.
