Daddy Freddy

Daddy Freddy's Bio:

Frederick Nelson AKA Daddy Freddy the Centurion, was born and raised in Trenchtown Kingston, Jamaica in 1965. In 1973-74 from the tender age of 8 years old, he started to develop his talent for performing lyrics at house parties and dances on local reggae sound systems.

He got his 1st big break around 1983-84 when he won the prestigious Tastees Talent Contest having been runner up to General Trees (Black Scorpio) for the previous three years, it was at that point he decided to take over his uncles sound system called Wildbunch who had a big oldies following, but Freddy wanted to change the selecting policy to the more new school, omputerised style of music that was then emerging on the dancehall scene. This move got him even more noticed by a bigger sound from uptown called Small Axe (85-86).

Sugar Minott started his own Youthman Promotion sound around 1986 with the intention to help all the local talent to progress in the music business, this spawned a mass of talent including artists like Tenor saw (Ring the Alarm), Yami Bolo and Colourman to mention a few. Freddy then quickly rose through the ranks and got more recognition when he was recruited by Supa Cat to work on the world famous Killamanjaro, there he started to spar with, Brigadier Jerry, Josey Wales, Yellowman and Early B, at around the same time he was working on Stereo Mars sound with Supa Cat & Nicodemus also singers Michael Prophet & Junior Reid.

It was later that year (86) that he recorded his first two hits "Joker Lover" and "Body Lasher" with singer Pinchers produced by Roland Fattis Burrell the Exterminator label boss, both tunes went to No1 in the Jamaican national charts, earning him a place on the Youthman Promotion UK/Europe tour.

Once he arrived in the UK he took the sound system circuit by storm, he set new trends and standards that were imitated by almost every MC in some form at that time. He stayed in England after Youthman Promotion went back to Jamaica to form and maintain the UK branch of the sound. He left Promotion in 1988 and joined forces with Tenor Fly on the mighty Sir Coxsone Outernational this move eventually led to him meeting David Rodigan at Melon Rd which was a popular venue in Peckham, south London that used to put on all-dayer events that were very popular that time. Rodigan in turn introduced Freddy to Simon Harris from the Music of Life stable and together they formed a formidable partnership that peaked with the release in 1990 of his debut album Stress".

The hit singles from the album were "Raggamuffin Hiphop" and "We are the Champions" these two tracks really set off the whole ragga/hiphop craze that was prevalent in the UK at that time, he then went on an extensive UK/Europe tour with Tim Westwood (Radio 1) along with hot U.S. hiphop artists of that time Keith Murray, Queen Latifa and Heavy D also in that same year he became the Guinness book of Records world record holder for the fastest rapper on the planet when he set the record of 346 syllables in a minute to 507, later that year he went to the States to break his own record and set a new one of 528 syllables in a minute. In 1991 he broke the record twice again with 595 & 598 syllables recorded in a minute respectively.

Later in 91 he released his follow up album entitled "Raggamuffin Soldier" which was licensed by music of life to Crysalis USA and featured artists Supa Cat & Heavy D, also production on other tracks by Cypress Hill and George Clinton. He featured on the U.S. Billboard & UK National top ten hit "Through the Tears" sung by Melissa Morgan in 1992 and also had major success with another feature on the Led Zepplin single "Ragga/Rock" which achieved top 50 status on the U.S. Billboard. His next venture was to produce and compile a compilation album called "London's Finest" which featured tracks by UK & JA ragga artists such as Nitty Gritty, Richie Nicotine Davis, Tenor Fly, Little Howie, Jackie Statement & Micheal Prophet (Hypocrites).

This album created even more interest for Freddy. Artists such as Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, David Morales and Norman Cook all requested collaborations and others like The Prodigy, Salt n Peppa, 187 Lockdown, Marvellous Cain and KRS One's Boogie Down Productions all sampled his unique voice. Freddy toured the USA with Steel Pulse, Burning Spear, Shinehead, X-Clan, Heavy D and Shelly Thunder and also performed throughout Europe, mashing up dances and bringing his original raggamuffin style to many places where people only knew dancehall through listening to records. He also featured extensively on US televison, appearing on Soul Train, Arsenio Hall's show and Yo MTV Raps, CNN, BBC's famous children's show Blue Peter and many more. Even the President of the United States, Bill Clinton wanted to meet him!

Daddy Freddy grew up in Trenchtown Kingston Jamaica, home of many musical legends. His house was literally a few minutes walk from Sir Clement Coxsone Dodd's notoriously infuential Reggae factory / soundsystem / record label, the world renowned Studio 1. His neighbours were Jacob Miller and Ranking Joe. Ranking Joe took Freddy under his wing and taught him the basics of skills of performing. Freddy's tremendous natural ability meant he was quickly enlisted to work with Lt. Stichie (Of ‘Natty Dread' fame) and then later with Sugar Minot. It was performing on Minot's soundsystem that founded Freddy's fame in Jamaica.

This fame culminated in Freddy attempting and breaking the World Record for Worlds fastest rapper in 1989 in 1989 as part of the Capital radio Music Festival. Eventually Freddy broke the record four times taking it from 346 to 598 syllables a minute. First and second time in UK (in Covent Garden and at BBCs Record Breakers on BBC Record Breakers show where he appeared with the great Roy Castle) and two times in America (New York Empire State Building and in Washington).

Renowned live performances have always been Freddys hallmark, most notably at the New Music Seminar in New York and Tim Westwoods live rap shows on Capital radio. After these hectic few years, Freddy decided to take a break for a while. His hectic life-style had taken it out of him so he found time to return to Jamaica and re-discover his roots. Whilst he still lent vocals to prominent dancehall tracks in Jamaica his next major work did not come until he came back to the UK, with a new lease of life. Freddy teamed up with renowned Dub legend, The Rootsman in 2000 to make the ground-breaking new album, "Old School - New School" (Third Eye Music).

Since then Freddy has been riding high, always striving to make new music and to give his all in his trademark, super-charged performances. His time is divided into touring, both nationally and internationally, recording and even training up some of tomorrows dancehall stars. So watch out and tell your friends - Daddy Freddy is back with a brand new album and different projects in 2006/2007!

TAMBOUR BATTANT « Missing Link »
Album Cd dans les bacs.
Ozore age > Vision Alternative < Play It Again Sam






TAMBOUR BATTANT, une forme plurielle de Breakbeats (drum & bass, hip hop, dancehall …), délivre un album intéressant, « The Missing Link » artisanal, dynamique et contemporain.

Tambour Battant : Ben et Nico n’auraient pas pu mieux choisir leur nom. Tous deux batteurs de formation, les lignes
Tambour Battant s’épanouit ici dans une forme plurielle de Breakbeats. « The Missing Link » fait la synthèse de quatre années de lives. Bien sûr, on retrouve leur morceau étendard « Atomik Circus », mais soigneusement remixé par leurs soins, pour pimenter le plaisir de cet évident rdv. À contrario du format vinyle, le duo a resserré la durée des morceaux pour faciliter l’accessibilité et le confort d’une écoute « à la maison ». En ressort une forte impression de relief : lignes mélodiques (le duo reste impressionné par les tissages mélodiques de Radiohead) et additions de gimmicks. Un flux d’émotions aux variations tenaces, empruntes de légèreté, de clins d’oeil et même d’humour
En 17 morceaux, Tambour Battant sort donc des figures de style qu’impose « une Drum & Bass trop puriste », en conservant le meilleur de son efficacité et de sa rythmique frontale.

LES PARTICIPATIONS :
MC YOUTHMAN, JAMALSKI, WAPI, WizzLL, TAIWAN, MC OSCAR BURTON …

Hi DADDY FREDDY,

it's always nice to visit your page. Thanks for your support.

Now, I got the CD from RAS DONOVAN “Integration” and I hope that you
will like it.

In this days I really need your help to let the people know about
this album and the new shop page :

www. Sevensealsmusic. com

In the last weeks I put all my energy in the shop and the Ras Donovan CD
and it would be nice if this seed that I planted will grow to a big tree.

Seven Seals should be more than just a Reggae Page. I like all kind of positive Music and for me it's very important that Music inform the people about the real situation on earth.

I am a man who believes in Jah and I know that we gave him different names in different languages but I know it's allways the same GOD.

So I respect everybody who believes in GOD no matter if it is a Rasta, a Christian, a Moslem or whatever.

I would be happy to get a reaction about the shop page, no matter if positive or negative.

If I didn’t send you a request for this page:

www. myspace. com/sevensealsberlin

Please, visit the page and send a request to us.


My next step will be to print a BOB MARLEY Poster from my paintings.

Which Bob Marley painting from me do you like the most ????

It would be nice to get a reaction from you and if you have luck you will win a CD.

(If you write me until the 24th April which Bob Marley painting you like
the most you have the chance to win
the new RAS DONOVAN album “Integration”)

One Love & Peace
Udo
