Sister Nancy

Sister Nancy (born Ophlin Russell in Kingston, Jamaica) is a reggae icon. She is known to the world as the first female dancehall DJ and was described as being a "dominating female voice for over two decades" on the dancehall scene. If you’ve ever been near a reggae party, you’ve heard “Bam Bam”—a track so legendary it’s been sampled, remixed, and blasted through speakers worldwide for decades. As the first female dancehall deejay to make a global impact, Sister Nancy’s influence on the genre is undeniable. With a voice that commands the stage and a catalog of anthems that still set dancefloors on fire, a Sister Nancy performance is always one for the ages.
