EEK A MOUSE
Ludicrous, bizarre and uniquely original, few entertainers have had such a profound effect on the reggae dancehall scene as Eek A Mouse.
Revered for his wit and humour, biting social commentary and infectious energy, Eek A Mouse became a household name in Jamaica through his signature vocal style called ‘sing jaying’ a combination of toasting and singing with a strong percussive element
His high-pitched vocal style would set him apart from his peers, but what truly elevates him above the rest is the quality of his melodies and music.

Earl Sixteen was introduced to Lee Perry at the Black Ark studio, where Earl sang a few songs. Some of these would be released as singles by the Upsetter label, including ‘Freedom’ and ‘Cheating’.

One Earl Sixteen’s most popular songs – ‘Love is a feeling’ – was an instant classic released in 1982 on a Studio One 7-inch single. In 1985, Coxsone Dodd released the ‘Earl Sixteen Showcase’ album, featuring a superb collection of songs that Earl had recorded at Studio One in the earlier years.
