Lee 'Scratch' Perry Booking Agency Profile
Lee "the Upsetter" Perry, one of reggae's undeniable forefathers, has collaborated with practically everyone, including the Heptones, Skatalites and Clash.
Some people have referred to Perry's ramblings as the babblings of a maniac, while others have referred to them as prophetic offerings. In any case, his distinctive dubbing technique is contagious. The words are frequently reduced to their most basic components, sound and sensation. Reggae's folk history gains a new depth thanks to Perry's innovative use of sound effects, echo, reverb and rewind, which has had a huge impact on a lot of other musicians.
"Scratch" elaborates on his favorite themes of extraterrestrials, judgment, justice, corruption, carnality and self-proclamation in his multitude of more recent content, all while riding some killer riddims.
The eccentric genius Perry, who has always followed his own drums, continues to explore new ground with the toughest rebel Rasta compositions and the most surprising dubs..
