Ian Anderson Born in Kingston, Jamaica music became a way of life. At an early age I started associating with various artists which I did a few tours with internationally. Artists like Augustus Pablo, Sugar Minot, Yami Bolo, Ras Michael to name of the reggae musical artist I worked with. I was very fortunate to spend a few years hanging around Earl “Chinna”Smith who played a major role in shaping the sound of reggae in Jamaica today. I owe a great deal to Chinna who truly opened my world of music.
