I am not an expert or an artiste in the reggae music industry, but I will attempt to answer questions specifically in relation to lovers rock from the late 70s to the late 80s. I may also be able to help with queries regarding revival, dancehall and reggae in general.

I can answer questions about the music, the artists, the instruments, vocal and recording techniques, and many other aspects. I'm not Ras Tafarian, but I understand the culture and I love the music. My key interests are Dub, female artists, the influence of blues, and titles that express love and family support.
