About

Eek a mouse

Ludicrous, bizarre and uniquely original, few entertainers have had such a profound effect on the reggae dancehall scene as Eek A Mouse.

Revered for his wit and humour, biting social commentary and infectious energy, Eek A Mouse became a household name in Jamaica through his signature vocal style called ‘sing jaying’ a combination of toasting and singing with a strong percussive element

His high-pitched vocal style would set him apart from his peers, but what truly elevates him above the rest is the quality of his melodies and music.

A protégé of King Tubby, he learned his craft at Tubby's studio before developing his own extravagant mixing style, characterised by deep, bass-heavy sound, wild album titles, and distinctive artwork. Scientist pioneered complex, layered mixes, especially during his time at Channel One Studios, and his innovative work continues to influence modern dub and electronic music.
