Mr. Goddy Goddy

b. Howard Reynolds, 15 November 1970, Kingston, Jamaica, Western Indies. Reynolds was raised within the Maverly and Orange Grove area of Kingston where he frequently attended chapel. At age 14 he rebelled and started to perform like a dancehall DJ. He was originally defined as Snakeman and documented his debut, ‘Aged People’, with Sly And Robbie. In 1993, he released ‘Mr. Dynamite’, made by Dark Scorpio, and toured the isle carrying out on various audio systems. Reynolds started to experience uncomfortable within an environment where in fact the ragga ladies exhibited their provocative dance as well as the demand for risqué or gun-related lyrics was customary. After carrying out within the dancehall he’d return home watching US tv evangelists such as for example Billy Graham. In 1997, he declined the dancehall and made a decision to chant conscientious lyrics in the name of Jesus. DJs such as for example Papa San, Lieutenant Stitchie and controversially Ninjaman (as Brother Desmond) affected him. In Apr 1999, Reynolds was verified within the Cavalier New Testament Chapel and made a decision to abandon his profession in entertainment. His decision was short-lived and he started composing gospel-inspired lyrics. To his amazement he was motivated by his pastor to execute his first structure, ‘The Entire Armour’, in chapel. Inspired from the positive response from your congregation he documented another of his plans, ‘Mr. Goddy Goddy’. The chant became his aphorism and he became referred to as Mr. Goddy Goddy. He performed at many major gospel occasions in Jamaica. His recognition led to him recruiting his personal music artists, the Blessed Band, to aid him in his crusade. In 2000, Reynolds fulfilled Danny Browne of the primary Street team. The producer experienced turned his back again around the disreputable DJ design and opted to make a more social message in his music. Reynolds authorized with Browne who released the DJ’s self-titled debut.
