Little Roy is a vital part of the Jamaican musical legacy, and one of the primary architects who laid down what we now know as ROOTS REGGAE ERA. It was Prince Buster who first gave him this moniker despite the fact that his effortless riddim-laced song ‘REGGAE’ still failed to find favor with fans.

Despite his prominence within reggae’s rich history, Little Roy remains an undiscovered figure to many knowledgeable reggae historians. During the 1970s, he contributed a number of undeniable classics that remain fixtures in Jamaican reggae roots classics today.

At the ripe old age of sixteen years, Little Roy became Jamaica’s first-ever artist to achieve success with his debut hit record, “Bongo Nyah”. The first hit song about the Rastafari movement that made waves across the island with a commercial breakthrough.
