IT'S A "SPICEY" WORLD

Known for her verbal assaults, on and off the rhythm, the metaphoric genius dominates stages worldwide.

Grace "Spice" Hamilton is a modern female force to be reckoned with. Since her first major hits "So mi like it" and the unforgettable collaboration with Vybz Kartel "Romping Shop", which allowed her to tour the world gaining millions of fans worldwide, out of respect for her hard work and dedication to the dancehall gave away to natural progression dubbing her the new Queen of Dancehall.


She then took dancehall to primetime television joining the cast of the hit reality TV show Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, exposing dancehall to more than 5.3 million viewers per week, as the new Queen of dancehall she has set the bar higher than any before her in this age of new media. Whether you understand the power of new media or not queen Spice does and has been using this power to build an empire.

Grace like others did not come from much; and had to fight through hunger, homelessness,
heartbreak, racism, tragedy and more only to become an alpha entrepreneur rising against all odds. Beaten but, not broken young Grace started selling candies at school which soon became lunch money and taxi fare she even managed to open a small restaurant soon after. Determined to win Grace opened her successful woman's apparel "Spicey Couture" in Kingston in 2009, followed by a sports bar in 2010 in her hometown of Portmore. Just when most thought she was done she used her world visibility to launched her own brand of Moscato (wine) "Sperone".

Never forgetting her people, spice understood the challenges of life; In 2018 she launched the "Grace Hamilton Women Empowerment Foundation". The foundation mission is geared at uplifting young women sharing keys to success, understanding how to see and execute on opportunities through education and grooming them towards success. At the launch of the foundation, she was supported by powerful women from all walks of life. Through the foundation, Spice has already begun to assist a young woman in the goal to attend college.


With success, this diamond in the rough despite all odds has made her name a house whole name with no signs of slowing down.
