Jamaican reggae and dancehall artist born Anthony Fairclough, best known as one half of the pioneering duo Michigan & Smiley. They rose to prominence in the late 1970s with hits like "Rub a Dub Style", "Nice Up the Dance", and "Diseases", all recorded at Studio One and with producer Junjo Lawes. Their call-and-response style helped shape early dancehall music. As a solo artist, Papa Michigan continues to write, record, and produce, working with artists such as Luciano, Glen Washington, and Half Pint.
