Description

Born in 1962 in Kingston, Jamaica (Passed May 2004 in Kingston), Barry Brown came of age during reggae’s golden era. Drawn into the music through Kingston’s sound system culture, he cut his first single, “Girl You’re Always on My Mind,” in 1977 for Sonic Sounds.

His big break came with Bunny “Striker” Lee, releasing “Step It Up Youthman” in 1979, a hit that became the title of his debut album on Paradise Records. Over the next few years, he voiced sessions for nearly every major Kingston producer, moving between roots reggae and the emerging rub-a-dub dancehall sound.
