Artist, Producer & DJ

About Me

Birmingham born singer, songwriter and producer started his career at the age of ten. First group at the age of thirteen playing the drums then went onto singing until he joined his brothers group at the age of seventeen. Ruff Neck Trilogy included Bonzo and King Stanley and was born out of the sound of Reggae. Membership later increased when they were joined by CFax and Scotty both hailing from Warwickshire sound systems. R.N.T hit the road in 1992 until the group were signed in 1996 by Erskine Thompson to London Records and Sony Publishing. Through Pete Tong and Erskine they managed to secure part of the Human Traffic soundtrack for RNTs "Bad Boy" single that became an underground hit in clubs around the UK. After the untimely death of Erskine the boys went their own direction. Jamo relocated back to Birmingham where he went onto start and manage the project Making Music Work, a project setup to help unemployed musicians find work. Formed partnerships with Dep International, home of UB40, The Jamhouse and Hard Rock Café to profile local artists, giving the winners of the competitions the chance to professionally record at Dep International and receive development. Went on to become the Manager of Birmingham Music Network, which provided advice and guidance to employed musicians. Now fully concentrating on Blackrose Projects to raise the game in the Midlands and expand the enterprise to a worldwide marketplace. Previously played at gigs including The Drum in Birmingham, Roar Showcase in London and regularly for Marcus Garvey Day and the Birmingham Carnival as well as Black History Month in both Coventry and Birmingham. This year alone, gigs secured include Rototom Reggae Sunsplash in Osoppo, Italy, as well as closer to home at Manchester, Leeds and Tottenham Carnivals.
