Hunter Phoenix has a career that spans modeling in Istanbul to acting on stage and on camera in Toronto, screen writing in London. A child performer, Hunter "came up through the theatre". She began formal theatrical and dance training as a pre-teen with a local theatre company and went on to study dramatic arts in college. Commercial print modeling took off when she was asked (in a bar) to audition for a beer commercial and instantly became a "poster girl".
Hunter's love for the theatre brought her to study with legendary acting coach Uta Hagen: a process that transformed her approach to the craft and led her to such roles on stage as Blanche in Streetcar Named Desire, Alyss in Sex Tips for Modern Girls and as Karen in David Mamet's iconic Hollywood satire, Speed The Plow.
Cast in the feature film The Bandit Hound II with Lou Ferrigno, Paul Sorvino and Catherine Bell, Hunter has also appeared onscreen in Mutant X, Doc, Singles Court, PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal and has hosted for HGTV. In 2016 Phoenix played the lead in the feature film The Master of Pulpits (2019) as well as two short films, Beyond Approval (2016) and The Perfect Family (2016) which has been featured at six film festivals including the Belize International Film Festival after premiering at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival in Hollywood, CA.- Actor

Joseph Hill was born in St. Catherine, Jamaica in 1949 and began his musical career as a percussionist in the late 1960s. As Rastafarianism's influence on reggae grew in the 1970s Mr. Hill formed the roots-reggae group Culture, releasing more than 30 albums. He wrote the group's best known songs including "Two Sevens Clash," "Natty Never Get Weary" and "I'm Not Ashamed". "Two Sevens Clash" (Sly & Robbie played on the recording) is considered one of the most influential reggae records. The song was based on a prediction by Marcus Garvey, the pan-Africanist, who said that chaos would occur when the 'sevens' met -- July 7, 1977. The outcome was similar to Orson Welles & The Mercury Theatre's radio broadcast of 'War Of The Worlds' -- many Jamaican businesses and schools closed their doors on that day.- Teneisha Bonner was born on 11 December 1981 in St Catherine, Jamaica.
