Prezident-Brown (Fitz Albert Cotterell) aka Slim Brown, Junior
Prezident Brown (Fitz Cotterell) was born in the hills of Clarendon, Jamaica. His mother called him Junior Ranking because he would grab the microphone and chant at schoolyard and country dances. He was first known as Slim Brown because of his resemblance to and similar DJ style to his mentor, U Brown. You may imaginethe feeling after completing their 2011 summer tour together, as something a young Fitz Cotterell could only dream of. There are a lot of hope's, aspirations and many other energies connected to dreams, and when you meet someone who is living out thier dreams, the positive effect of these energies may just rub off on you.
Craig Harris, AllMusic Guide - Prezident Brown (born Fitz Albert Cotterell) has been called "one of the most interesting cultural dee jays since U-Roy." Emphasizing positive messages, Brown has continued to pioneer his own direction, developing his own approach to dee jaying that he calls "the chanting stylee." Born to a Seventh Day Adventist family in Colonel Ridge, Clarendon, Brown grew up in St. Mary, a small town in the the north coast resort city of Ocrabessa. Although he showed potential as an artist, as a youngster he was forced to leave school in order to support his mother and three sisters after the death of his father.
