Junia Walker

Junia Walker started in the Reggae music business as a sound system operator/selector of the Black Equinox Disco before moving to record production and composition with the late Keith Hudson in Joint International after which he started his own label Jusic International which was the example set by the neighbourhood icons The Wailers. Within a year he started his singing career specialising in his own compositions and covers of old favorite R&B from his sound system days in so doing he has acquired a fairly extensive catalogue of internationally promoted tracks with a few compositions along the way for other artistes like Keith Hudson, Frankie Paul and Denzil Dennis.Junia acredits King Tubby for being a major influence in his singing career "as firstly he took me serious" and secondly while voicing a track one day he said "youth you have a million-dollar voice you just have to learn how to use it" after that no other opinion could discourage Junia. Regarding himself as a recording artiste Junia shuns the pop star lifestyle of many a ego maniac and prefers to use his recordings to share verses of scripture and important messages as his name represents a continuation to Marcus Garvey's UNIA which now reads Jah Universal Negro Improvement Association born at King St. in the mid '50s the UNIA's Liberty Hall was a few steps from his gate and has fate had it he would be walking through his old neighbourhood as a pre-teen and noticed a record shop had newly been set up and went inside to buy a record for .75 cents from a dread in dashiki and dark glasses whose name I would later learn was Peter Tosh and this was Tuff Gong Record Store home of The Wailers the rest as they say is Reggaematic History which will be told in the book "Junia Reggae".
