Exclusive Interview with GospelReggae.com

GR: Tell us about yourself, where you were born and grow up, what your family is like, etc...

Dr. Dizzle: I was born in Kingston, I grew up with my mom, cousins, and my dad lived with me until I was 7 years old. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister.

GR: How did you begin doing music?

Dr. Dizzle: I was firstly influenced by my father’s involvement with the military, and was exposed to marching bands at a very young age. In High School I started the school band and I managed the School’s Marching Band. I also started playing music at my church and learnt a lot from my pastor, Rev. Donovan D. Cole who is also a musical genius. After High School I got involved with my college band. At that time I started playing for artistes like Dj Nicholas, Ryan Mark and Jason Mighty, and others. Then I left university and enrolled for the Edna Manley College (Jamaica School Of Music), where I studio Caribbean, Latin & Jazz music, majoring in Drums.

GR: Tell me, how did your name come about? Any obstacles with it--funny mispronunciations, etc…?

Dr. Dizzle: My name, “Dr. Dizzle”, was initially a msn screen name. Being a computer genius, while in college, I used to build riddims while I am doing programming assignments whilst speaking on msn messenger to my friends. While artistes started coming by to listen to riddims they just started to call me Dizzle, so the name stuck on me.

Dr. Dizzle: Be humble and honest
