Reggae star Spanner Banner has been working hard to regain his former status in the local music industry since he returned to Jamaica a few years ago. The prolific hit maker was residing in the UK for over three years hence his absence from the local music scene in the earlier part of this decade. Despite all the obstacles he has faced in his bid to achieve this goal, Spanner Banner has stepped back into the local spotlight wit his recent number one hit single Rolling Stones.

His return to the local musical landscape has found favor with fans and music industry insiders alike. Therefore it comes as no surprised that he has copped the award for Biggest Come Back Artist of the Year in the Excellence in Music and Entertainment Awards (EMEs) which was held last night at The Gardens at the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel in Kingston.

When contacted Spanner Banner was in a very happy mood as he expressed his gratitude to the fans who voted for him on the EMEs website; “Right now I man haffi big up all the fans who vote for me, them and Jah made it possible and I give thanks to them and the creator who give I the inspiration to write and sing good music.”

Spanner Banner was also one of the performers at the EMEs. He and his three musical siblings Pliers, Richie Spice and Snatcha gave patrons attending the event an extra special performance that was dubbed the Bonner Brothers Moment.
