Biography
b. Vernon Rainford, Kingston, Jamaica, Western Indies. Fathead is specially kept in mind for his renowned contribution towards the Yellowman trend. The fad also known as Yellowish Fever started in 1980 and culminated in 1982 with an array of produces. The recognition of DJ duos such as for example Michigan And Smiley and Clint Eastwood And General Saint noticed the pairing of Yellowman and Fathead. The duo performed frequently in the Aces discotheque in St. Thomas where they constructed a solid status. Yellowman’s terms of wisdom had been punctuated by Fathead chanting ‘ribbit’ and ‘oink’ noises by the end of each collection, which became en vogue in the first 80s. In response towards the achievement of pirated ‘backyard tapes’, veteran maker Lloyd Campbell inaugurated the thought of documenting a live dancehall program for launch on vinyl fabric. Yellowman And Fathead Live At Aces included shows from Jah Reubal and Small Harry alongside the DJ duo. The compilation presented Fathead both like a soloist and in mixture. He could demonstrate his potential as a person performer with ‘Gi Me The Music’, ‘Fathead Nice’ and an interpretation of Yellowman’s ‘Procedure Eradication’ as ‘Eradication Procedure’. The achievement of the recording led to some produces that would possess previously just been noticed on backyard tapes. Because the Yellowman sensation progressed Fathead highlighted on several recordings with a number of manufacturers, including Ruddy Thomas and Henry ‘Junjo’ Lawes. The first produces from the duo’s function gave no sign concerning Fathead’s appearance. His appellation resulted in unfounded speculation that his mind size had not been in proportion along with his body. These rumours had been shortly quashed when photos revealed him to be always a handsome, youthful guy. By 1983 the relationship finished amicably and Fathead liked a minor strike with Lloyd Campbell with ‘It’s Me’/‘Wha Dat’. Though much less prolific as Yellowman, Fathead released the similarly well-known singles ‘Rat Snare’, ‘Arrive Me A Arrive’, ‘Champ’ and ‘Prevent All The Combat’. The DJ also highlighted being a soloist on Junjo Presents Two Big Sound. Fathead performed alongside Early B, U. Dark brown, Johnny Ringo, Position Toyan and debutant Beenie Guy. The compilation discovered Fathead representing both sound systems. He implemented Beenie Man on Lees Unlimited, while in conjunction with Small Harry and Early B he shut the established for the Individuals Choice. Fathead can be a highly deemed performer although he was struggling to emulate the remarkable achievement of his DJ partner. Never to end up being confused with the united states blues music group of the same name.
