Lukie D

b. Michael Kennedy, 1972, Cockburn Pencil, Kingston, Jamaica, Western world Indies. Kennedy started his career executing on various regional sound systems, creating a solid status like a dancehall vocalist. His affects included regional heroes Frankie Paul, Tenor Noticed and ragga DJ Supercat. His recognition led to documenting sessions that created his biggest strike, ‘Center Of Attraction’, alongside mixture strikes with Lieutenant Stitchie (‘Don’t Deny Me’) and Beenie Guy and Dark Pearl (‘Handbag It Up’). Lukie D became a member of the Firehouse Team, mentioned for fostering the professions of Luciano and Sizzla. While using the Firehouse team he released his debut, Center Of Attraction, offering mixtures with Mikey Spice and DJ Determine. He also released some strikes, including ‘I Won’t ENABLE YOU TO Proceed’, ‘Unhappy Evenings’, ‘Allow Me Like You Right now’, ‘Large Fill’ and ‘You’ve FIRST GOT IT Heading’. His achievement allowed him to commute between Jamaica and the united states, where he became familiar with even more diverse musical affects, leading to the broadening of his repertoire. In 1997 he released a 20-monitor compilation offering, unconventionally, variations of AC/DC’s ‘You Shook Me’ and Queen’s ‘We Will Rock and roll You’. His substitute approach garnered interest in america, but alienated the partisan dancehall team. In addition to his solo profession, Lukie D also became a member of the vocal group L.U.S.T. They performed at MIDEM 1998 and later on in NY at the 3rd Culturama event, to essential acclaim. In 1999, Lukie D remaining the group and was changed by Ricardo Durante who got previously sung support vocals for performers such as for example Shaggy and Patra.
