Angel Farringdon Featuring Bongo Chilli: Real Musician/Everyday. Electrobreaks
Clayton Brown was born and raised in the Parish of Trelawny, Jamaica before moving to the UK in 1995. Growing up in Jamaica, surrounded by the influences of dancehall music, Clayton Brown, aka Bongo Chilli, has integrated his concern for today’s youth with this particular music genre to become a ‘lyrical entertainer.’ His eldest brother was a strong influence on him, bringing home the latest tapes on the Reggae/Dancehall music scene. “It would be fair to say that I started out by imitating the artists I heard and then developed my own style, born out of a passion for the music.”Clayton first got the name Chilli while attending Holmwood Technical High School in Manchester, Jamaica. He then went on to add Bongo to it out of respect for the Rastafarian Culture. When he was ten years old, Clayton began to write his own lyrics. After years of working hard on his skills and talent, Clayton had his first record release entitled “Nah De-focus” in 2001 on Humal Records from Birmingham, UK.Since then he’s had releases out on other UK labels including Third Eye Music, Sativa Records, Cosmic Web and Function Records. More recently he has linked up with Bassrunner Records from Austria to release singles entitled “Warning”, “ Like It” and “The Supply.”Bongo Chilli achieved a lifetime ambition in November of 2005 with the launch of his own record label, ‘Bongo Chilli Records.’ Two 12 inch vinyls has been released on the label so far, “Bashy Fashy” by D-Bo General & “Sound Like” by Bongo Chilli himself. His debut album “Real Musician” was released in 2007 as a joint venture on Sativa Records and Bongo Chilli Records. Bongo Chilli also has a close involvement with the UK genres of Jungle, Drum and Bass and Dubstep. He is a regular performer with Sheffield based crew, The Junglist Alliance and is currently spending time in the studio working with Rogue State, the co-owner of dubstep/nichestep label, R8 Records.Bongo gives serious thanks to Daddy Freddy for taking him under his wing and bringing him on tour throughout Europe – performing in Countries including Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Norway & Slovenia. He has honed the ability to enhance any instrumental with his conscious and often humorous style. He believes in writing positive sensible lyrics, which contain no profanity. In line with this, Bongo Chilli has worked in schools to help children increase their growing vocabularies in various subjects such as English, Mathematics and Mental Ability.Working in partnership with fellow artist Claston Brooks aka Dan Man, their workshop ‘Caribbean Rap’ encourages children to get involved in lyric writing and Caribbean style drumming. “We use music as a tool to tackle any subject or issues. Children like to learn but they are more comfortable and participating when learning is fun.”
