Admiral Tibet (Kenneth Allen)


Admiral Tibet was one of the few artists from the early days of digital reggae to focus on "conscious" themes in his lyrics. He began performing in Jamaican clubs and with sound systems during his teens, including his local Torpedo system. He made his first recordings when he was in his 20s; a reluctance to move to Kingston played a part in this. His voice has been described: "at its best has a convincing, vulnerable quality entirely suited to sufferers' laments".
