King Jammys Profile
 
In 1985, with the appearance of Wayne Smith's 'Sleng Teng', Jamaica's dancehall floor was suddenly thrown into wild and enthusiastic atmosphere. The responsible person to this 'Sleng Teng' rhythm was Lloyd James, who is now regarded as the king of Computerized, Digital reggae music for 80's. He is commonly known as King Jammy and the owner and producer of Jammys label, which is considered as one of the most influential record labels during the 80's.

He grew up in Waterhouse area of downtown Kingston and there he found his interests in sound system from his early age. Soon he became fascinated with electrical engineering and started to build own sound system. His profound knowledge and skills were well recognized enough to attract many local sounds who did not own their sound system. Those people even asked Jammy to build sound system equipment. In that way, he gained the reputation with his gifted talent and people did praise him by calling him "Prince Jammy" in his community.

In the early 70's, he persuaded his musical career as an engineer in Canada for a few years but soon he retuned to Jamaica, Waterhouse to set up his own studio at home. At this time, the Dub Master, King Tubby's number one engineer Phillip Smart decided to work in New York and Jammy replaced him to work as a King Tubby's apprentice for Tubby's Studio where he output some dub mixings with the acquired fine King Tubby style. By 1977, he almost exclusively made Dub at Tubby's Studio for musical giants like King Tubby, Bunny Lee, Augustus Pablo and Yabby You.

After gaining the reputation for his own sound system and his studio works, he established his King Jammys label to release his own productions in the late 70's. He produced Black Uhuru's debut album [Natural Mystic] in 1978. And singles 'Pouchie Lou', 'One In A Million' were sung by upcoming artist, Half Pint with Chinna Smith lead High Times Band. As well as Junior Reid, who made debut recording by the age of 13, was also at Jammys to develop and cultivate his rough vocal skills and there he released his early singles such as 'Higgler Move' and 'Boom Shack A Lack'. Other songs like 'Water Pumping' by Johnny Osbourne, 'Give The People' by Sugar Minott and 'They Fight I'by Dennis Brown are also now considered as classic foundations of the 80's dancehall.
