Leroy Scarlet: The Maestro Behind Reggae Powerhouse Band

In the vibrant tapestry of reggae music, few figures loom as large as Leroy Scarlet. Born and raised in St. Andrew, Jamaica, Scarlet's journey from a young enthusiast to a pivotal force in the reggae world is nothing short of inspiring.

A Humble Beginning

Leroy's early years were steeped in the rich sounds of local sound systems. At just twelve, he began his musical odyssey as a box lifter for Killaphonic, eventually seizing the microphone to share his voice. His passion led him to Rebel Tone, where he honed his craft, performing at every opportunity.

Building Music Mountain

The establishment of Music Mountain Studio marked a significant milestone. Collaborating with his cousin, Chris Stanley, Scarlet transformed a vision into reality. The studio quickly became a magnet for artists, with legends like Jimmy Cliff gracing its opening. Iconic tracks such as Boris Gardner’s “I Want To Wake Up With You” and Black Uhuru’s “Solidarity” were birthed within its walls.

Transitioning to Production

Scarlet's evolution from performer to producer showcased his versatility. His production of Frankie Paul’s ‘One Little Romance’ and Gregory Isaacs’ ‘Lonely Teardrops’ in 1993 solidified his reputation. Albums like “Reggae Train Series One & Two” and “Dimensions in Music” further highlighted his commitment to the genre.

Facing Challenges

The late ’90s brought challenges as reggae sales declined. Artists thrived on live performances, but producers faced financial strains. Scarlet briefly ventured into real estate, but health issues redirected him back to his true passion: music.

The Birth of Reggae Powerhouse Band

Encouraged by Duckie Simpson of Black Uhuru, Scarlet founded the Reggae Powerhouse Band. Embracing a diverse lineup of vocalists from Antigua, Trinidad and Tobago, and Guyana, the band introduced a unique sound to the reggae scene. Their debut album, released in 2020, received widespread acclaim.
