The annual Mountain Dew Stunt Festival rolled around again, Virgo Don was asked to perform and "perform" he did. We would like to apologise to the supporters for Virgo not staying on stage longer but we have to follow the show rules. At least we were able to premier the new single 'Please Credit Me' (see Audio Clips to the left). Look out for up coming shows for more great performances.

Pity Virgo was not allowed to perform for longer but, great fun was had by all.

Oct. & Nov. 07

The Motherland beckoned as Virgo went to The Gambia & Senegal. What started as one maybe two shows became two maybe three shows PER NIGHT!!! It was great to see how much love especially Gambians have for Jamaicans. We enjoyed every single minute of it and will make sure to be back soon.

May. 07

Old Harbour Star Jam 07 is an annual event held at the Area 51 Sport Complex. The star studied line up and venue size would impress anyone. Yet patrons, promoters and artist alike are still trying to recover from the blazing performance delivered by Virgo Don (see Video Clips to the left). We did warn you... "you aint seen nothing yet, stay tuned for much, much more".



Background

Virgo Don is one of the brightest, most positive and creative up and coming artist in the dancehall arena today. He was born in Birmingham (England) and christened Locksley Brown. His family migrated back to Jamaica when he was still a toddler where he lived and grew up.

Being from a musical background he was automatically drawn to the entertainment scene. Initially he played in school bands and sang on choirs, but it was not until Virgo started singing solo that he really got the bug.

Virgo was then lent a copy of Bob Marley's 'Rastaman Vibration' album. This album had the lyrics printed on the sleeve which gave him his first introduction to writing / written (non-classical) lyrics.

A family friend used to lend Virgo his ghetto blaster and dancehall cassettes. One specific dancehall artist (Papa San), because of his versatility and originality inspired Virgo to enter the dancehall arena. Then many a night would find him sneaking out of the house to go-get his dancehall fix.

That went on until (this being Jamaica) someone told his parents. At first they disapproved until they were given details of how good Virgo really was. They then decided to support their son in his quest for stardom.

From that day onwards Virgo has never looked back. He has blazed a trail and made a solid name for himself in the dancehall scene. Whilst focusing his sights on gaining International acclaim Virgo has always made sure that he remains grounded.

If you have not yet experienced this phenomenal artist at work, we can assure you that you do not know what you are missing. So look out for Virgo Don on a TV, radio, in a record shop or on a stage near you.



Past Work

Virgo Don has had a very busy career in terms of live and studio work. He has worked with almost all the top flight dancehall artist in one capacity or another performing, writing and producing.

Virgo Don successfully defended himself (litigant in person) in a litigation dispute regarding the unauthorized use of his work by a record company. This included a 6 day trial (Patents Court) and 2 days at The Royal Courts of Justice (Appeal Court). All kinds of legal precedence were set that will benefit especially up and coming artiste all around the world. For more info see details here.

Through features (one of Virgo's favorite parts of the business), he has worked with all different musical genres. This has seen him work with everyone from 'up and coming' artist to icons such as Toni Braxton and Erykah Badu.

Virgo has also worked on jingles and adverts for television and radio. To his credit Virgo was also involved in the very successful Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares AD campaign where his performance was placed on two of the four adverts used for TV, radio and Cinema.

There's a lot more where all that came from so stay tuned.



R.I.P.

The whole team at The Lyrical Sultan would like to send out our heart felt condolences to the family and friends of:

Mrs. Avis 'Nurse' Brown who was not just Virgo Don's mother, she was a mother to all who knew her. To quote "There aren't enough hugs in the world to thank you for your love". You shall be missed dearly.

Also Mr. Augustus 'Supervisor' Sutherland (of Killamanjaro sound and hit tune "Roundness" fame), a truly great friend and person. Your passing is a loss to the world as you had so much left for us all to see.

You both shall be surely missed by all who knew you.
