He goes by the name Problem Child. He was born on June 02, 1979 and grew up in Central Village, Spanish Town, St. Catherine. Damion Hill is a talented DJ, who plans to place his career at the highest peak in the entertainment business.

Cool, quiet, easy going are just some of the words to describe this talented young man. In addition to entertainment, he has passion for fashion designing and plans to own his own clothing line. As a Heart Trainee, he is also a skilled plumber. His interest for music began at age 12, when his father gave him a guitar as a gift.

At that time he would perform Papa San songs. As a student of Waterford High School, he would practice his lyrics before his peers, while beating the desk. His passion for music went deeper when he started going to Main Street Studio. “I helped fellow artists such as Goofy, Bounty Killa (Cancer) and Alozade (Gallop) to write songs”.

Later he moved from Central Village to Red Hills Road, where he was introduced to General Degree. “Him seh mi lyrics did full a too much gun tunes an’ him encourage mi fi do jus’ girls tune an’ fi leave di gun tune to other artistes”. In 1998, he did a song called ‘Real Galist’, which was produced by Chesta from the Mixing Lab.

This hit was his first radio play. Since then he has worked with quite a few producers such as Snow Cone, Don Cordionly from Vendetta and Scatta from Kings of Kings Production. He is currently working with Kings of Kings Record Label. His latest project is with Kings of Kings Production, which will release a medley on the Fungus Rhythm.

When not at the studio, he spends most of his time with his three-year-old son, and go partying with his friends at the Village Café, the Quad or hanging out on his ends (corner).He has great plans for the future in entertainment. For the future he would love to do some collaboration with artistes both locally and overseas. Artist such as: Assassin, Vybz Kartel, Lady Saw, Cecile, J. Lo, Fabulous, Ja Rule and P Diddy.

His hopes are that Dancehall will grow like Hip-Hop. “I also like entertainers their talent world-wide on BET, MTV and other popular music stations."

His most memorable moments were working at a birthday bash for Singing Melody some time ago at the Cactus Night Club. To Problem Child it was a milestone in his career. His most embarrassing moment occurred a few years ago when he visited a prominent studio and the producer disrespected him. But he viewed it as apart of the business.
