Prodigal Son

Calvin Curtis Whilby (born 1976), better known as Prodigal Son, is a Jamaican gospel singer. Biography Whilby was born in St. Catherine in 1976. He was raised by his grandmother. Following his grandmother’s death he moved to Kingston and settled in the Rema district where he was drawn into the gang violence in the area. He was invited to attend a church service and, inspired by the biblical parable, he became known as the Prodigal Son. Son had no previous secular experience in music. He was introduced to famed producer Danny Brownie who soon became both mentor and friend. Brownie guided Son through his musical career and continues to be his ministry partner. Awards Prodigal Son was the only gospel artist that appeared on the 2006 BMobile 'No Violence' school tour in Jamaica.
