Marlon Brown (Brando)
was born on in Knoxwood St. Elizabeth Jamaica where he spent most of his formative years. He graduated from Lacovia Secondary school. Brando entered singing contests from primary school and he was a winner from the onset.
At the young age of eight Brando discovered the infectious Deejay Styles of Early B and Papa San and soon began to imitate them. As the years passed he learned to write his own lyrics and he developed his own style.
In 1990, the legendary J.B.C. Boom Box rolled into Santa Cruz with the usual schedule of entertainment activities including a deejay contest. By this time Brando had perfected his craft and was sure he would take on all corners. This he did with his entry "Bomber" which blew the audience to oblivion as he rode away with the first prize and the adoration of the huge crowd.
This performance energized Brando and he was soon off to Kingston to claim his place in the world of dance hall music. He began to frequently visit recording studios such as Penthouse, Cell Block and Mixing Lab, where he met several producers who showed some interest in "voicing" him. In 1996 his friend "King Droopy" introduced Brando to Barrington James of the Builders music label.
This resulted in the release of his first single "Rasta Man Know the Truth" on the "Builders Label." The song was an instant hit on U.S. East Coast such as New York, Miami, Connecticut, and New Jersey and received heavy play on all of the reggae radio stations.
ArdKoore Label in Los Angeles US has sign Brando to their label and on their way for major production world wide his powerful reggae style prophesied like a profit. ArdKoore manager speaking on behalf of Brando says his primary ambition is to spread his spiritual message throughout the world as he is now preparing to tour some of the territories in which his music has made an impact.
