Skidney Irie

I started on the soundsystem circuit early 80s still in school, paper round money would buy my records. I had a love for music especially Roots from a young age growing up amongst older siblings where music was very much the order of the day.

When the soundsystem stopped playing around late 90s I would always still collect music but for personal use so I was very greatful when the opportunity came up to play my favourite style of Reggae on the radio.

“Roots and Culture” It means a lot to me it’s my upbringing, my culture, education and feeling the message the music it has is felt around the world

Roots music to the world and beyond Skidney Irie’s show is deep in the Roots and culture and I have been a selector on many sound system circuits since mid 80’s.
