He attended the Bell Rock Prep School, then to the Hamtam Court Primary School, the Port Morant All Age School and Saint Thomas Technical High School. Little Harry’s music career started when he was 12-13 years old at the time he was attending the Port Morant All Age School. He was a D.J. on a sound system called Black Lion, which played at the Land Top in Port Morant. The sound sytem owner, Gogoil, was also a friend of Harry’s. One day, Harry went to a pushcart derby and competition in Port Morant Square. A sound system by the name of Aquarius was playing at a place called Cotton Tree. The owner of Aquarius, Toby from Morant Bay, was also a friend of Harry’s and let Harry step up to the microphone. The audience began to jump and shout for Little Harry. The following Sunday, Harry attended a beach party at a place called Prospect down by the Blue Macho Beach. The sound playing was Aces Disco. Harry stepped up to the microphone and let loose a tremendous performance. Afterwards, the selector for Aces Disco presented Harry with a contract to D.J. on the sound system. One night on 1981, Harry entered the J.C.D.J. National D.J. competition at Skateland in Halfway Tree, Kingston. Some have it that Harry won the competition but the victory was given to Yellowman. In Harry’s own words, “Well ah so life go. Me never say anything.” Since then, Harry and Yellowman became good friends. Little Harry and Yellowman began to work together on the same team including Fathead and Jah Ruball. They performed all around Jamaica and released a live recorded dancehall album called “Fever in the Dance Hall” including the track called “Little Harry Having a Party.” That was the first time Harry’s voice was heard on a record. In 1983, Harry began to D.J. on the sound system called Volcano where he also was afforded the opportunity to record an album on the Volcano label titled “D.J. Clash Volume 2: Little Harry vs. Billy Boyo”. It was released and distributed by Greensleeves Recording Company in the United Kingdom. It was a top ten album according to notes kept by London record shops, Dub Vendor and Hawkeye Records. Then in 1984, Harry started to record several songs for King Jammy. Some of them were released on the Super Power record label and distributed in the United States by V.P. Records. Much of the tunes recorded for King Jammy were released on all star compilation albums alongside such artists as Shabba Ranks, Admiral Tibet, Frankie Paul, Coco Tea, Pad Anthony, Johnny Osbourne, Don Angelo, Derrick Irie, King Everal and many more. In 1986, Harry picked up the microphone and began to D.J. for King Sturmars Hi Fi. During that time, he recorded his biggest hit, Anarexol Body for the Skengdon label. Courently now I am recording with the Scyme Life Records Label Owned by young music producer called SYBOSS Little Harry is still active in the reggae business and can be found in the studios around Kingston. Modern D.J. Chukki Starr attributes some inspiration for his career to Little Harry. In closing, here are the words of Little Harry, “It is a lot of works from that time until this time. Still Little Harry is musically inclined. Starkly Jamaicans ragga dancehall style. Thanks to Jamaica and the rest of the world.
