b. Frank Dowding, St. Mary, Jamaica, West Indies. Kiddus I came from a middle
class background and initially adopted a hippie lifestyle before converting to
Rastafari. At the start of the 70s he opened an ital food store that attracted a
number of musicians who were recording in and around Kingston, including Jacob
Miller, Zap Pow, Third World and Gregory Isaacs. It was Isaacs who encouraged
Kiddus I to pursue a career in music, although the singer had already recorded a
session with Joel Gibson in the early 70s. Kiddus I was later recruited as a
vocalist in Ras Michael And The Sons Of Negus. With the group he performed on
the Jamaican hit ‘Non A Jah Jah Children’, that featured on
1975’s Rastafari produced by Tommy Cowan. In 1976, Kiddus I was recruited
to arrange interviews with a number of Jamaican key performers for Reggae
Bloodlines, an early publication that helped introduce their music to the
American mainstream. The following year, he enjoyed a modicum of success with
‘Graduation In Zion’. The song was later featured in the movie
Rockers and on the soundtrack album. His other releases include ‘Security
In The Streets’ and ‘Cry Wolf’. In 1999, Kiddus I appeared
alongside Jamaica’s heavy metal king Gibby at Kingston Muzik Night, a
celebration of the diverse sounds of Jamaica promoted by the Reggae Sunsplash
organisers, Synergy.
