Artist Bio

I was born in Kingston Jamaica, C whitely A.K.A Preecha Kungo and lived
in the area of Slipe Road and Admiral Pen Road. It is in this
neighborhood that bass harmonist for Desmond Decker would hold my hand
as a child and carry me to get bulla cake at the corner store. I will
never forget it. InI people move to live Mannings hill Road when I
reach in a my teens, I used to hear sound trodding from constant
springs all age school in cassava piece. Music started to resonate
within me, inspiring me to move and grow as a musician. In Jamaica,
reggae still was not the main stream, more American music, righteous
brothers, Michael Jackson and those singer .Well musician like Big
Youth, Bob Marley, Uroy, Rankin Trevor, Rankin Joe, and all of these
deejay and singers had their thing they were promoting to the
mainstream. Now reggae music was appealing to youth and listened to as
the popular culture style music. From King Tubby to Tipper tone big
youth . Crutches used to deejay on Arrows sound, emperor lord faith
till Daddy Roy came with King Stur Gav Hi Fi with Rankin joe charlie
chaplin and later Jose Wale .The Brigadier the general upon Jah love
music... From then I start to figure out the direction I want to head
musically.... I first start chant in front of others on old Harbour
road, On a sound name black ark sound, waynie wonder used to pass
through every now and then. Until 1987, when I leave and touch New York
I use to do some rehearsal with Superior one, then find myself in 12
tribes for the next three years. Meeting and knowing Sister Carol,
fredlocks, Visioneers,Judah Eskender, ShineyCulture, members of the
twelve tribes had a sound called Ital owned by Shorty and the president
and Dilly Dan . From there, most entertainers pass through, ninja man,
junior Demus, nicodemus. Louie culture, bobby culture. I
Left new york in 1993 a pass through the Boston Reggae sene at Western
Front a popular Reggae club I began my journey chanting among some of
Reggae best in their own right artest such as late great drummer
Winston Grinnan. Dub Sation, Ras John and the loose caboose,Skiffinton,
Shaka Black, Abdul Baki and new Roots, Abdul Baki and my self did a CD
in 1998 called the other side of slim a tribute to the late and great
Slim Smith. I also produce a compleation single with Ras Mento,
Journalist Bandoo, daughter Rula, Lady Lee and miss.V. I am working on
my CD which will finish around summer time of this year 2008 ...
Rastafari live blessed love to all...
