She is the daughter of ska music legend Derrick Morgan but was raised by her mother and stepfather. A Rasta by faith, she is known for her work in the community and for writing songs about deeply personal subject matter in songs such as "Below the Waist" and "Daddy".[1][2][3] BiographyQueen Ifrica, began her career in 1995 after shining at a local talent contest in her hometown of Montego Bay, Jamaica. This eye-opening experience eventually led to major stage performances in her country including the esteemed Reggae Sumfest as well as a union with Tony Rebel’s Flames Crew in 1998. With roots firmly secured in the Rastafarian faith, she blossomed as one of the top cultural artists in reggae, swarming the airwaves with hits like “Randy”, “Jus My Brethren”, “Below the Waist” and “Daddy” and stealing the stages at major festivals and stage shows around the world (Summer Jam in Germany, Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, Bob Marley Festival, Reggae on the River in California and Reggae Sundance Festival in Holland). As an active community leader, Ifrica is involved in several outreach programs for children in Jamaica’s inner-city and charity shows where proceeds are donated to the cause. She signed a record deal with VP Records, leading to the release of her first album, Montego Bay, in July 2009. Her second album, Climb, was released in March 2017, and topped the Billboard Reggae Albums chart.[4][5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rootsreggaeclub.com/all-reggae-articles/309-queen-ifricas-new-album-june-16.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=28 June 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110107222558/http://rootsreggaeclub.com/all-reggae-articles/309-queen-ifricas-new-album-june-16.html |archivedate=7 January 2011 }} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Queen Ifrica}}2. ^.{{cite web|url=http://www.jamaica-star.com/thestar/20071101/ent/ent2.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=28 June 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100325144922/http://www.jamaica-star.com/thestar/20071101/ent/ent2.html |archivedate=25 March 2010 }} 3. ^http://www.reggaenews.co.uk/interviews/queen_ifrica.asp 4. ^Johnson, Richard (2016) "Queen Ifrica returns with album after seven years", Jamaica Observer, 25 November 2016.
