REGGAE ROCKET

Today its my YouTube Channel. Surprisingly, over 21 years ago, Reggae Rocket began as a service that physically distributed music videos on tape worldwide, making them accessible to over 120 countries at its peak. This journey helped me build amazing relationships with partners around the globe. Managing International DJ Miss Blease (from Belize) is one the most interesting examples of such connections coming to life.

A Bit About Me

In a past life, I was knee-deep in the reggae and dancehall scene as a music video editor and director—an industry insider. Fun fact: most of my clients had no idea I also had a pilot’s license! These days, I’m switching gears. The new rebranded channel is all about sharing my love for aviation, family, and all kinds of adventures, all seen through my Jamaican eyes and accent, sprinkled with my reggae dancehall roots. 100% Jamaican. Think of me as a Jamaican creative and private pilot with stories to tell about my travels, flights, and original music projects. The new Reggae Rocket is where all these stories come together.

So, hit that subscribe button and tune in! I promise it’ll be interesting—and who knows what you might discover!

QUICK CHRONOLOGY: When and how did it start ?

2001 - 2010

I was literally one of the most prolific and in-demand Reggae music video editors, motion graphic designers and animators in Jamaica. 🙂 

2003 - 2012

Reggae Rocket helped its clients get the video projects we worked on, to the stations and VJs around the world that wanted to play them. We would ship physical tapes around the globe. As a cool spin-off, I started the YouTube Channel in 2005

2010 - Present

Started Zawdie Business Ventures, with the primary goal of investing more creative energy in my own businesses and projects. Doing less and less work for hire. In the new business model, ZBV now retains most of its intellectual property and spins off derivative businesses operations around that IP.
