CALTON COFFIE SERVES IT UP HOT IN ARIZONA

Nov. 9, 2006, HOLLYWOOD - The Grammy award winning,
platinum & gold selling smooth & sexy voice of the one and only
International reggae superstar Calton Coffie and his band will be in
the desert of Arizona to heat things UP! Best known as the co-writer
and lead vocalist for the Grammy Award-winning Cops Theme song, "Bad
Boys." The perennially popular song from the album of the same name
can be heard nightly on the internationally syndicated television
series "Cops," as well as in the movies "Minority Report,"
"Bad Boys," and "Beverly Hills Cop III." As the lead vocalist
of the musical group Inner Circle, he recorded six albums, including
"Bad Boys." His international chart topper, the hit record
"Sweat, A, La, La, Long," became the most-played record ever in
Germany.

Nov. 16th Calton Coffie is welcomed by members of the White
Mountain Apache Tribe for the premier of live reggae at Memorial Hall
in Whiteriver, AZ. This night For Lover's Concert series is presented
by production team of Kings Promotions / Tim-ache. Nov. 18 Calton
Coffie will perform live in a Concert For Lover's at the Mardi Gras
in Scottsdale, AZ. Both of these AZ shows will also include 21 Bone

In 1995, following a serious illness, Coffie left Inner
Circle, and recorded solo albums with Gator Records in 1998 and 2000.
Coffie's latest solo album is "Hot Cup of Calton Coffie." This
release offers fans more of his familiar, rich vocals and rhythmic
reggae beat. "Hot Cup of Calton Coffie" features 18 original
songs written by Coffie. Released on Coffie's own label, Studio A
Music Group, it is available on CD Baby and Taxi music stores,
Amazon.com as well as Coffie's own personal Web site,
www.caltoncoffie.com.

Born in London, Calton came to Kingston, Jamaica, at the age of
five, when his parents returned to their native country. There he
learned the Jamaican style made popular by Eric Monty Morris and Bob
Marley, and the R & B from the likes of Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Curtis
Mayfield, Chuck Jackson and Marvin Gaye. Coffie came to the United
States in 1973. He served eight years in the U.S. Army before leaving
it to pursue his dream of a professional music career. During the next
two decades, he recorded eight albums, earned numerous gold and
platinum albums and singles, and set international chart records.
Following his 1993 Grammy Award for "Bad Boys," he was again
nominated for the album "Reggae Dancer" in 1994. He currently
resides in Los Angeles with his wife Sharon and travel between Jamaica
and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
