Lord Ambassador Sound System aka Alvin Roots
Alvin Roots got involved in the sound system scene in the 80s with a sound called "Gee Teck" Sound System. In the early 90s Alvin Roots and his brother formed a new sound that was called "Love Shock" and came back on the road playing sounds like ''Sir Coxsone'' Sound System plus many more. 'Love Shock' was a clash sound as well as a party sound. In the late 90s Alvin got involved with ''Channel One'' Sound System that was busy playing with the biggest UK Sound Systems such as ''Aba Shanti'', ''Jah Youth'', ''Iration Steppas'' etc... In the early 2000 he started building his own sound and in 2002 'Lord Ambassador' was born. The first session was with the ''Mighty Tabot'' Sound System from Bristol, now days called 'Roots Injection'. After that, numerous sessions with many UK Sound Systems followed, all over the country. In 2007 he took over a corner at the ''Nothing Hill Carnival'' where he is a regular up until now. Notting Hill Carnival changed everything for Lord Ambassador, as the sound became popular and started getting attention from European promoters. Since then, Lord Ambassador has participated in dances all over Europe, in addition to the sound clashes in the UK and his residency at the Carnival.
Donovan Kingjay
Born in London, singer Donovan Kingjay spent his formative years in Hanover JA, before returning to the UK to finish his schooling and to begin his musical education. Kingjay’s voice has often been compared to the likes of Dennis Brown, Bushman, Luciano and Michael Buckley. Kingjay (then known as Singjay) served his apprenticeship on Youth Sound Lord Creation before becoming a regular on East London’s King Original, North London’s King Josiah and appearing on Unity Sound and UK Youth Promotion. Encouraged by King Original’s Wazir alongside Negus Roots, Philip ‘Fatis’ Burrell and Sugar Minott, early development as an artist gave him his first recording opportunities. Singjay’s first release was the self penned “State Of Mind”, which was followed by other releases on King Original records. His long stints with King Original, exposed him to a great many artists, producers and musicians in the Reggae music family including Sugar Minott for whom he recorded “Never Too Late”, released in Jamaica on the Youth Promotion label in 1998. Kingjay quickly became a prolific freelance artist, working with many sounds & labels. His debut album “Higher Meditation” was released in 2013, produced by himself and Nereus Joseph.
