#Jnr International Different from the rest, is the No.1 up coming sound in the UK.

Born in Jamaica JNR, started as a youth at school playing and DJ'ing on local sounds. After gaining crucial experience playing sound in Greenwich farm he moved to the UK and settled in SE London. From the 90's JNR started to clash other UK sounds, the first international clash was in montserrat, where he defeated Exterminator & Fresh supreme.

JNR has continued to play around  the world in festivals, Juggling and clashing, including returning to Jamaica and growing in reputation.

now JNR face the biggest ever challenge by taking the best sounds as the wild card.

since that JNR has received the DIA award 2007 & 8 and also holds the title's for foreign invasion 2011 and London rumble 2013 and still going strong.



#Sovereign sound was formed in Luton in 1984 by my friend Llarley & cousin Lloyd. I joined the sound in 1989 as a selector/maintenance man. In 1990 I started to select the sound,picking up experience as I went along, playing with sounds such as Sir Coxsone, Saxon Sound, Unity Sound, Java & Love Injection, making a name for the sound as we went along. I then started voicing dub plates in the early part of that year,although Sovereign were voicing dubs from 1984. I started to play with big international sounds such as Stone Love, Gemini, Body Guard, Killamanjaro and King Addis, taking the sound to another level. Sovereign also put on shows with Dennis Brown, Sanchez, Beres Hammond & Shabba Ranks to name a few, aswell as holding down a residence at London's hottest nightclub "Trends." In 1999, the club that Sovereign was residence at "Flex Nitespot" in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, came up For Sale, it was the beginning of big things to come, my wife Newley & I decided to buy the club, we then changed the name to "Penthouse Nightclub". The year 2000 was a big year for Sovereign, by then I had taken over Sovereign sound & was playing the sound by myself, playing on dances as well as keeping my own promotions which i named "Dancehall eXperience". By 2003 Sovereign started to get a lot of work in Europe playing in France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland & Sweden, touring with the sounds Bass Odyssey, Black Kat, Metro Media, Tony Matterhorn & Mighty Crown & holding my own.
