Reggae fans need to come to the Sawtooth Ridge Café Saturday, Feb. 23 at 9 p.m. to enjoy roots-reggae singer songwriter, Prezident Brown.

Fitz Albert Cotterell, aka Prezident Brown was born in the green hills of Clarendon, J.A. As "Junior Ranking," a name his mother gave him, he would grab the mic and chant away at schoolyards and country dances.

The biggest and most formative influence for the Junior MC was producer and sound system operator, Jack Ruby, prominent in the Ocho Rios music scene at that time. Ruby saw something special in him. He took the fatherless Slim Brown under his wing, re-christened him, Prezident Brown and appointed him resident M.C. of his Hi-Power Sound System, traveling worldwide.

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.
