    Artist History
    Hylton Brown,born Jamaican,did win several awards in the prestigious Jamaican Pop & Variety Festival during the early 80ies.There it was where his whistling was considered so unique that a new category was created:"novelty act-whistling". In the 90ties he went to Europe,performed on numberless big stages,found his own label and established himself successful on the german musicmarket.He was opener for Mutabaruka and Eric Donaldson,and his CD`s entered the german indie charts.Always keeping the jamaican link,he found a cultural shop and later a reggae pub "Little Jamaica" in the center of Bremen,where he also is broadcasting since the 90ties his weekly "Reggae our radio show" and a weekly televisionshow "Movements of a rastaman".The TV-show reaches 190.000 spectators,the radio have a much broader range.His message is guiding the people with positive consciousness: One love to all the civilized people! whistling w
