Fuzzy Dee, born in Edmonton, North London in 1959 has had a long involvement in the music business starting at age 13. In 1973, together with six of his friends, he built and ran Jah Scorpio, a sound system based in North London. Playing at parties, dances and special community events, they built up a considerable reputation in the community. They remained together for 12 years, by which time Fuzzy Dee had developed his skills in audio equipment design and construction. He became renowned for selecting appropriate records, from an enviable record collection.
‘Self-Made’ is often a term used for persons who have reached the pinnacle of their careers through determination and self-elevation, Kennedy ‘Prezedent’ Mensah is no different. He brought himself up professionally to be recognised as one of the world’s foremost authorities on Reggae Music and the Music industry. His extensive music expertise has been utilised around the globe from Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Malawi, Gambia to America, Japan, Greece, France, Italy, Russia to the home of reggae music Jamaica and of course where he resides in Britain.
He grew up in Manor Park, East London and actually played the piano for a time, then moved onto the trumpet and the cornet and was part of the Newham Academy of Music where the ear for sounds was developed.
Elayne Smith, popularly known as DJ Elayne, is a beautiful and talented individual who deserves a lot of credit for her dedication to media, entertainment and music. She is a female who defied all the stereotypes and with her energy and exuberance, catapulted herself to the forefront of radio in the 1980’s.
The quotes above are just a couple out of many accolades bestowed by peers over the years in tribute to Zak’s contribution in shaping the black music scene of the 80s, 90s and beyond. The emergence and growth of many genres of black music during the last 30 odd years can be attributed to LWR. Including all the homegrown UK genres the radio station supported during its hey day, such as Lovers Rock, Acid Jazz, Street Soul, Rare groove, etc. as well as the relatively more recent genres established in some cases long after LWR’s dominance of London’s airwaves, such as Jungle, Drum N Bass, Electronic, Techno, UKG, Funky House, Bashment etc. Zak’s involvement during the early years of the London black music scene cannot be underestimated. But has been downplayed by mainstream media looking for a champion of their own.
DJ Elayne, Barry Bee and Jay Jay ‘getting hot’, together known as the LWR Soul Syndicate, held down a number of club residencies back in the day.
