Trailblazing dancehall queen Sister Nancy is one of the foremost sound-system DJs, best known for her hypnotic cover of Toots & The Maytals' rocksteady anthem “Bam Bam.” Sister Nancy is the alias of Ophlin Russell, who was born in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1962. She began performing at local sound systems as a teenager and, in 1982, released her debut LP, One, Two, which contained her iconic rendition of “Bam Bam” (since sampled by dozens of artists including Kanye West on “Famous” and JAY-Z on “Bam”). She relocated to New Jersey in 1996 and worked in the financial sector, before returning to the studio to record her sophomore album, 2001's Sister Nancy Meets Fireproof, and five years later, a feature on Thievery Corporation's “Originality.” In 2016, Sister Nancy retired from corporate life, climbing back on stage and kicking off a thrilling new chapter of her fiery career.
