About Prezident Brown

Prezident Brown, born Fitz Albert Cotterell, has been called one of the most interesting cultural dee-jays since U Roy. Emphasizing positive messages, Prezident Brown has continued to pioneer his own direction, developing his own approach to dee-jaying that he calls "The chanting stylee."

Born to a Seventh Day Adventist family in Colonel Ridge, Clarendon, Prezident Brown grew up in the small town of Oracabessa in the Parish of St. Mary, Jamaica. He was forced to leave school at a young age when his father died, leaving him with his mother and three sisters.

Career Beginnings

Prezident Brown launched his musical career at the age of fourteen, when he began dee-jaying for the Sound King Stereo Mix at the Bamboo Lounge. Initially known as Junior Ranking, Prezident Brown was dubbed Slim Brown by dee-jay Nicodemus. When he recorded his debut single in 1988, Prezident Brown was named Dancehall Doctor.

The late Jack Ruby, producer of Burning Spear's albums "Marcus Garvey" and "Man In The Hills," bestowed the title "Prezident" upon him.
