..daring and straight-forward lyrics of a lady sing-jay Vence Morgan or Queen Ifrica as she's poignantly called, has taken the reggae world by storm since last year with "Below the Waist" and the controversial "Daddy," a lyrical protest to incest.”
-San Diego Union Tribune (Feb 12, 2009)
“Watching reggae's newest female star, Queen Ifrica, liven up a crowd sends a jolt through the body and spirit... the songs appeal to one's higher sense while at the same time making you want to jump, dance, and shout like you're at a church revival...”
-Broward-Palm Beach New Times (Nov 11, 2008)

Queen Ifrica born Ventrice Morgan, began her career in 1995 after shining at a local talent contest in her hometown of Montego Bay, Jamaica. This eye-opening experience eventually led to major stage performances in her country including the esteemed Reggae Sumfest as well as a union with Tony Rebel’s Flames Crew in 1998. With roots firmly secured in the Rastafarian faith, she blossomed as one of the top cultural artists in reggae swarming the airwaves with hits like “Randy”, “Jus my Brethren”, “Below the Waist” and “Daddy” and stealing the stages at major festivals and stage shows around the world (Summer Jam in Germany, Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, Bob Marley Festival, Reggae on the River in California and Reggae Sundance Festival in Holland). As an active community leader, Ifrica is involved in several outreach programs for children in Jamaica’s inner-city and charity shows where proceeds are donated to the cause.
She also recently signed a record deal with VP Records and they are working in the studio on her first album Montego Bay set to be released in July 2009.
