 Born by the name of Delroy Thompson 12th of April 1965 in Jamaika Educated in the New Day-Primary- and Highschool in Kingston, it was in the age of 14 when he first got in contact with the music-scene listening to soundsystems from the local neighbourhood. He recorded his first single in 1986. Pinchers first came to England from Jamaicain 1985, he had already recorded an album for Blue Trac, alongside Peter Chemist. It was the release of "Abracadabra" that first won him significant attention. In 1987 he achieved a breakthrough with the compelling „Agony“, produced by King Jammy, as usual a album with the same titel followed.
After that he came up with minor hits for a variety of producers, including Philip "Fatis" Burrell and Red Man („Mass Out). The single to make the breakthrough, however, was "Agony". It quickly made him a minor celebrity in Jamaica, to the point where he was offered (and accepted) advertising endorsements from a local vineyard.
His other notable hits include "Bandolero' in the 90s, the wild west imagery of which neatly seduced the dancehall audience, whose preoccupation with guns and violence it echoed. The Album of the same name brought him back on top of the jamaican reggae-scene. However, Pinchers main source of fame continues to centre on sound system "specials", live appearances at which he excels, and on which he has built a considerable reputation as one of reggae's emerging stars.
