"DJ"
I was born in London , England. My
parents are both from Jamaica. I started
to have an interest in music from
a very young age, taking drum lessons
at the age of twelve. My father had
a sound system and my mother was always
singing Church songs. Music has always
been an important part of my life.
At age 14 I discovered the bass guitar
and the love affair with this instrument
was born. Before migrating to Florida
in 1991, I lived in Connecticut and
continued my music career.
Over the years I have worked with
many internationally known Reggae
artists including Kimani Marley, Damien
Marley, Julian Marley, I-threes, Dennis
Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Yellow Man,
Sugar Minott, Tony Rebel,and The Mighty
Diamonds. I have also worked with
some R&B artists such as Percy
Sledge & the Delfonics.

a part of his life as long as he can
remember.His father & uncle operated
sound systems in England.Sometimes Dougal
& Uncle Sterling would combine the

tag along as they set up their equipment
& as he got older he would stay
& help wipe off & pass records
to them.While in school he would play
in the percussion section & also
operate his own sound system.He would
be performing around New England shortly

playing cover tunes for years his love
for original music grew stronger.That
thirst would be satisfied when he united
