The group One Third has split from their long-time manager, Ray Alexander.

The trio which rose to prominence after winning the Digicel Rising Stars competitionin 2006, slowly teetered, though they released tracks including Fattee, Take My Breath Away, Dash It Gi Me and more.

According to the members of the group - Alpheus ‘Al’ Johnson, Miguel Walters and Adrian Campbell - musical talent without a proper management team isn’t enough to take artistes to the top of the musical game.

“Ray Alexander got the best foundation just as One Third did, an mi feel sey him never capitalise enough from the exposure that we got from Digicel Rising stars. Mi just feel sey wi shoulda did deh further.

The group also went into details to further explain a number of things they thought Alexander, better known in the industry as the ‘bald headed Ray’, didn’t do.
