News: Torch trying to make a musical difference

With a name like Torch, it shouldn't be surprising that Kevin Campbell is being hailed as one of 2006 brightest prospects.

The young, Trench Town-born singer got his name from veteran deejay Tony Rebel at Penthouse, who felt that he was actually "blazing like a torch."

He had been known as Honey Cone, but was told that he needed a more fitting name for his extremely realistic songs.
