Exploring the Rhythm of Sports and Music in Jamaica

In the vibrant world of Jamaican sports commentary, there's one name that stands out for its passion, wit, and charisma: Oral Tracey. From his humble beginnings in the sports department at the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) to becoming the host of the popular sports commentary show 'Sports Commentary' on Television Jamaica (TVJ), Oral has etched his name as a household name in the nation's sports scene.


Oral's journey into sports journalism was not just a career path but a dream he pursued with unwavering dedication. Starting with JBC, he honed his skills in the field, learning the ropes and developing a unique style that would soon make him a favourite among viewers. His move to TVJ marked a new chapter in his career, where he took on the role of host and producer for 'Sports Commentary'.

The show, which airs daily, is a testament to Oral's ability to engage audiences with his animated and unapologetic views, all delivered with a flair for witty rhymes that make sports commentary an art form.


But Oral's ambition doesn't stop at sports. With a passion for music, he has also decided to pursue a career as a recording artiste. His first single, 'In a Nikki House,' is a reflection of his creativity and talent beyond the world of sports journalism. This new venture marks an exciting chapter in Oral's life, where he is not only sharing his voice with the world but also showcasing his versatility as an artiste.


Dealing with criticism is a part of every professional's journey, and Oral is no exception. However, his resilience and ability to take constructive feedback have been key to his success. He believes that criticism is an opportunity to learn and grow, which he has graciously applied to his career, always striving to improve and adapt. As Oral continues to break barriers in the world of sports commentary and music, one thing is certain: he remains true to himself and his passion. His story is an inspiration to anyone who has ever dreamed of making a name for themselves in their chosen field.
