RECORDS

Independent Reggae label: Aces Music Records managed at least one single. It issued singles in ACES-000 numerical series. Distributed By Aces Music Records. Davon Irie was born in1955, Victoria Town, Manchester, Jamaica, West Indies. Irie busked from an early age and performed in the DJ-style at school concerts, in spite of the fact that he had little experience of the Jamaican dancehall. In 1980 he emigrated to Toronto, Canada where he initially worked with the Upsetter. In 1983 Irie joined the Casino Royal sound system for two years before moving on to Black Roots. His notoriety led to an invitation to record with Leroy Sibbles of the Heptones. The Studio One veteran had set up his own label and released Irie’s debut, ‘Every Massive Has To Rock’, under the Gold Key imprint. The song proved a hit in Canada and led to the release of ‘Couldn’t Tired Fe See You’ and ‘Baby Do It’. The DJ won the Canadian Reggae Music Award, which resulted in him supporting artists such as Dennis Brown, Burning Spear and Lieutenant Stitchie when they performed in Toronto. In 1990 Irie released ‘All I Want For Christmas’ which faltered although he regained credibility when he performed at Reggaemania. The show featured Irie alongside Lovindeer, Shabba Ranks and Little Kirk. Irie continues to perform although his popularity is confined to the local Canadian reggae scene.
