Horace Reece also known as Higher Purse has been actively involved in music since 1993. As the president of the Wembley Youth Club (a social club in Marverly, Jamaica) in the early to mid nineties Higher Purse and his staff would host weekly stage shows to build spirit decor among neighboring communities. After the death of one of the entertainment committee member in 1998, Higher Purse left the Wembley Youth Club and moved to Mandeville, a rural community in Jamaica and return to Kingston after two years. Up on arrival in Kingston, he began writing songs with the hopes of getting other artists to sing them. Regretfully, that did not happen so that led him to begin singing his songs himself.
In 2004 Higher Purse recorded his first song entitled, “bitter sweet love” and his life literally changed from that point on. The release of “bitter sweet love” plunged him into the music business head on. He immediately recorded and released two follow up singles entitled; “big up daddy” and “love in a word” which is a combination with dancehall artist Myni Mo. The track “love in a word” was voted as a number one song on Roots 96.1fm, which is one of Jamaica’s top local community radio stations.
Realizing that reggae lovers both in and out of Jamaica were embracing him, in 2006 Higher Purse decided to start his own record label, now called Russcuttaz Music Production. He got together with two other producers Sean Tenn and Buff and began working on a rhythm driven compilation called “twylite riddim”. Shortly after the completion of the “twylite riddim”, Higher Purse, Sean Tenn and Buff got to work on the “challenge rhythm” which was released in 2009 and is currently being distributed by Reggae Inc. Higher Purse recently released the Old School Riddim, which is now enjoying major success worldwide, both in sales and in radio rotation. On The Old School Riddim, Higher Purse not only sang but he also displayed his skills as a songwriter, having written what is now a guarantee number one, which is performed by reggae star Natty King. The song is called “you were chosen”.
Higher Purse is also fresh off a tour in the state of Florida and is currently getting ready for his first ever-European tour. The Euro tour will cover four countries, namely Spain, Italy, Switzerland and Sweden.
