Prezident Brown (Fitz Cotterell) was born in the hills of Clarendon, Jamaica. His mother called him Junior Ranking because he would grab the microphone and chant at schoolyard and country dances. He was first known as Slim Brown because of his resemblance to and similar DJ style to his mentor, U Brown. The most formative influence on Prezident Brown was producer and sound system operator Jack Ruby. Ruby saw something special in young Slim Brown; he took Slim Brown under his wing, re-named him Prezident Brown and appointed him resident M.C. of his Hi-Power Sound System, traveling worldwide. More About Prezident Brown After the sound system era changed following Jack Ruby's death in 1989, he began recording with Grove Music, who later founded Irie FM in Jamaica. After that, he recorded with Roof International, Courtney Cole's label. Eventually it was Barry O'Hare's label, X-Rated (now World of Music,) that provided a home base for Prezident Brown and helped launch his career in Europe. X-Rated took off just as a massive roots revival swept across Jamaica, washing gun and slackness lyrics out of the dance halls, paving the way for conscious reggae music. Of course Prezident Brown was bound to rise in that kind of climate. He is a champion in the new roots and reality consciousness. Prezident Brown entertains, informs and inspires. His message is pure rasta conscious vibes. By 1995, he flooded the market from all sides, he was freelancing without a break. He was bringing out boom-tunes on the X-Rated label, among others like Digital B, Black Scorpio, Mango and Star Trail. He recorded the song, "Blow Your Nose," with Everton Blender, (an artist, with whom, he has toured Africa and Europe.) Prezident Brown also recorded on Tony Rebel's Flames label. (It should be noted that his style is frequently liken to that of Rebel's.) Prezident was also featured in the song, "Black And Proud," on the Steel Pulse album Rage And Fury. He has recorded with numerous other reggae legends as well. Barry O'Hare's X-rated label produced two albums, Big Bad and Talented and Prezident Selections, (distributed on the Runn label.) After a third album, Original Blueprint, (produced by Digital B, now licensed by VP Records) he continued t release singles. 1996 he signed a lucrative 5 album artist deal with Island Records, which didn't work in his favor. He then made the timeless To Jah Only album with the highly regarded Ocho Rios label, Kariang, in 1998. At the turn of the millenium he worked with German based label Chet Records and released the album Generation Next which is distributed by Sony Germany. "Unleash the Lion", A 46 show tour in the summer of 2002 with the Orchestra of Judah put together by Jahmani Productions took Prezident Brown all over the United States, including performances at The Sierra Nevada World Music Festival and Reggae On The River. Also, Jahmani Productions released Showcase Volumes 1 and 2 that year with Showcase Volume 3 following in 2003. Prezident has since done repeat performances at both festivals and has added may other prestigious ones to his list such as the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival in 2008. Prezident Brown continues to perform worldwide, recent performances include Israel and Paris in February of 2009. Prezident Brown has been very well received in the United States and is building a large fan base, and as a champion of the new roots and reality consciousness reggae movement he entertains, informs and inspires. Prezident Brown's music speaks a universal language. All of his albums and singles will remain timelessly beautiful and his fourth album, To Jah Only, features one of the most spiritually devoted songs in reggae history, "To Jah Only." His music is echoed overseas and his talent is unequivocal. All of his albums are a must for anyone who loves reggae music. Prezident Brown is an artist driven by a sense of mission and purpose which dictates that he "edutains" (heightens the consciousness of a people) as much as entertains. Prezident Brown is eminently qualified for the role in which he is seen as a vessel from which flows the healing effect of his musical staple. to his mentor, U Brown. The most formative influence on Prezident Brown was producer and sound system operator Jack Ruby. Ruby saw something special in young Slim Brown; he took Slim Brown under his wing, re-named him Prezident Brown and appointed him resident M.C. of his Hi-Power Sound System, traveling worldwide.
Biography Born in 1987 to a woman once thought unable to conceive by many doctors, Prince Levy came in this world like a shining star, thus the name Prince. His mother named him Prince as she sees him as a true reflection of a miracle and nothing short. Prince spent his earlier childhood growing up in the green sides of Westmoreland Jamaica, specifically Roaring River District which is a heavenly place laden with caves, rivers and greenery. In his earlier years Prince Levy developed a strong love for music from the age of 7 years old. He was immediately picked out by the Sav-anna la Mar schools musical director when he was auditioned. Prince, after that entered the JCDC festival yearly school competition where he stamped his excellence on an annual basis. Later on at the age of 11 years old Prince Levy was granted a scholarship to attend the Westmoreland Community Music School which was operated by a of graduate Alpha Academy Boys home and Edna Manley :Mr Clarke and Vocal teacher Miss Grant. From then on Prince Levy began learning the intricacies of musical sound which he trained in. He was awarded several Gold medals performing for his music school as a soloist and lead singer in his school choir which was Knockalva Technical at that point. All this time Prince was residing with his grandmother, Tabetha Clarke who made sure he was strongly rooted in the church as well. As the years progressed Prince moved to the city of Kingston to live with his mother Dianna Patterson and enrolled in the St George’s College where he completed his 5th and 6th form diploma with honours. He then went on to The University of the West Indies where he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in Language Communication and Society. While doing this, fulfilling the role of a corporate soldier, prince Levy realised that he should be fighting for a different passion….. Music!!! Due to this, he began doing vocal classes where he met Jay Edge, his Producer and it all started there, the music of Prince Levy that is. Since then, Prince has performed on Shows all over Kingston. Attempting to make his musical footprint, Prince Levy makes music through the beats of his soul. This was recognised by News Talk 93 FM which garnered him radio exposure with singles “Completely” and “Winery” for which a video was also made with polish dancehall Queen Ula Afro Fryc, featured on YouTube. So now, Prince Levy is gearing up to release his album Prince Levy The Beginning which reflects a blend of music that is far beyond the norm (Reggae, Dancehall, Alternative soul and House Music) with 13 tracks.
