Then: Darrin Kenneth O'Brien AKA Snow gained international success with his debut single 'Informer.' O'Brien grew up in a rough neighborhood in Toronto, and Jamaican neighbors had introduced him to reggae music. He had just finished serving time in jail for assault when the song became a hit.

Now: Although Snow never again reached that level of success, his follow-up efforts made him a respected figure in the Jamaican music scene -- he had the top-selling single there in 1995.

After his wife died of cancer in 2009, O'Brien began focusing his attention on charity. A cancer fundraiser he organized raised $15,000, while his group Pure Snow NGO helps people living in non-profit housing.
