       b. c.1957, May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica, West Indies. Washington has been
involved in the Jamaican music industry since the early 70s. He was taught to
play drums in a band named Stepping Stone by Joseph Hill of Culture. Hill sang
lead vocals with the band until a disagreement with the hotel management where
the band was playing resulted in Washington filling the role.
Washington’s connection with Hill resulted in a recording session at Joe
Gibbs studio and the release of his vocal debut, ‘Rockers No
Crackers’. Following the singing venture Washington returned to playing
drums for Culture in session for the controversial Africa Stand Alone. The album
met with mixed reviews and the drummer moved on, finding work on the North Coast
where he performed at a hotel where Stevie Wonder was a guest. The Motown
Records legend jammed with Washington and his band and in 1982 encouraged the
singer to emigrate to the USA. Washington subsequently settled in Detroit and
retired for a five-year period. When Leroy Sibbles of the Heptones toured the
USA he sought out Washington in Detroit to play drums at a concert in the city.
Following the performance Sibbles invited Washington to Canada where he played
with his band and joined the Sattalites. After leaving the Sattalites Washington
played drums for Shinehead in New York and embarked on an international touring
schedule. Following his global jaunt Washington set up his own record label and
released ‘Feel The Vibes’, which proved a minor hit in New York.
The single led to various recording sessions including his overdue breakthrough
at Coxsone Dodd’s other Studio One Recording studio based in Brooklyn.
The Studio One success led to sessions in Jamaica with Lloyd Campbell who
produced Get Next To Me. His success led to a glut of releases, including
‘Can’t Keep A Good Man Down’, ‘Careless Minded
People’, ‘Breaking Up’, ‘The Love Of God’ and
‘Open Your Eyes’.
