Desmond Adolphus Dacres was born on 16th July 1941 in Saint Andrew Parish,
Greater Kingston, Jamaica. As a youngster Desmond regularly attended his local
church with his grandmother and aunt. Here would bring him his lifetime religious
commitment and his enjoyment for singing.
Dekker moved to parish of St. Mary following his mother's death as a result of illness.
He later moved to St. Thomas, where he took up an apprenticeship as a tailor, before
he moved back to Kingston and landed himself a job as a welder.
His co- workers encouraged him to pursue his singing career, he successfully
auditioned for Leslie Kong's Beverley's record label and was awarded his first
recording contract. As his career took off this was the time he decided to adopt the
name Desmond Dekker instead of 'Dacres'.
