Mikey Dread with son Zylen Jahlight

Michael Campbell, a.k.a. Mikey Dread is one of the most influential performers and innovators in reggae music. His abilities, technical expertise, and unique vocal delivery combine to create a unique sound that tells the listener emphatically that it is the "Dread at the Controls." Perhaps Mikey's work with The Clash has garnered him with the most recognition, but his credentials and resume started long before his eye-opening production on several releases with the renowned Punk Stars from London. His work and interaction with The Clash was a significant event in the integration of reggae into popular music throughout the world. The album, "Black Market Clash", is a brilliant fusion of late 1970's punk rock and a heavy reggae bass and drum line. The reggae aspect of The Clash's album distinguished their sound from the other punks that emerged in the 1970's. Soon thereafter, it was a must for just about every punk band to have a reggae cover song on their album. Mikey was the first Producer ever to produce a UK chart hit for The Clash" Bank Robber" and later produced several reggae cuts on their internationally recognized Album "Sandinista." Mikey's avid interest in reggae music led him to acquire an immense collection of crucial vinyl which he used to gain notoriety as a young DJ and audio engineer with the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation (JBC) where he began his broadcasting career in 1976. There he developed his own unique broadcasting style, which has been adopted by virtually every reggae radio show in Jamaica and the world today. His radio show, which became known as "Dread at the Controls," was firmly established as the Number One Radio Show in Jamaica. Mikey was awarded Top Radio Personality of the Year in 1977-1978.

Jacob	May 24 2009 2:15 AM I'll never forget the first time I went to a Mikey Dread concert, we drove 2 hours to see him in Santa Cruz CA just pumped up to see my first Reggae concert. We got there early so we just sat around watched the people dance and listened to the music we could'nt wait until Mikey came out. Then the time came, there he was on time in a big pink suit! I thought the was the most awesomest suit! He started right at 9pm and played until about 2:30am I know he was tired because I sure was but he played like 5 extra songs. He was only going to be playing until 12 and he gave us one hell of a show his band is the best group! I had a great time. Never over charged for tickets I wish I knew him personally Rest in Peace Mikey God Bless you and your Family.
Fazal Prendergast	Apr 19 2009 7:36 PM Greetings to the MIKEY DREAD SITE, HIS Wife and Baby. Where spirit is always revived by the good reggae Music that keeps flowing. I know it is also near Mikey's Anniversary too. Keep your spirits up, for they still sing with us. Giving an Updating you on Fazal’s Memorial Anniversary. Fazal is Gone but must definitely not forgotten. Today being the Memorial Anniversary date of Fazal’s tragic death, his family, friends and loyal fans send out a tribute to Fazal’s life work and beautiful music. Last year, the release of Fazal’s CD, Shadows in the Storm, brought a tremendous response right across the globe. With CD requests from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and many regions in between. Thanks to everyone, who purchased a CD. It appears that Fazal’s Instrumental music vibrated a universal reasoning across many cultures and languages. Such is the beauty of Instrumental music when it is fused with ones spirit, soul and essence as Fazal’s music is. Fazal story is far from over!!! In fact the next CD release Is an entwinement of reggae/dub/ambient ethereal space sound escapes evoking responses specific to the listener. Fazal loved to play with these rhythms and was drawn to these unknown dimensions while living life to the utmost. Thus the CD name… THE EIGHT SENSE (BEYOND THE KNOWING) This CD is all Fazal from performance to recording…. it’s a soul project. Look for it later this year at http://www.venusoneworld.com cdbaby.com/fazalprendergast http://digstation.com/fazalprendergast, Once again all proceeds to Fazal’s daughter Deardhra‘s Educational Fund. YOU LIVE FAZAL FOR US ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE GIFT OF YOU BLESSED CREATIVITY. Check out http://cdbaby.com/fazalprendergast For DISCOUNT SALES of SHADOWS IN THE STORM During the month of April. JAH BLESS Fom Colette and Deardhra
