Prezident Brown, born Fitz Albert Cotterell, has been called, “one of the most interesting cultural deejays since U Roy”. Emphasizing positive messages, Prezident Brown has continued to pioneer his own direction, developing his own approach to deejaying that he calls, “the chanting stylee”.
He built up a reputation by performing on local sound systems throughout the 1980’s, under various names including Junior Ranking, before officially starting his recording career.
He was given the name Prezident Brown by producer and sound system operator Jack Ruby, who made him the resident deejay on his Hi-Power sound system.
Early singles included "Tears" and "Everything is Right" (with Jack Radics) and (Professor Frisky) and an all time Jamaican favorite, "Mickey Mouse" on the Digital B label.
Prezident Brown's music speaks a universal language. Repeatedly crowned Most Conscious Artist by the Jamaican Federation of Musicians, Prezident Brown is driven by a sense of mission and purpose.
