Lee Scratch Perry (1936-2021) was born in a remote Jamaican village and moved to Kingston in 1961 to pursue a music career guided by a divine voice. After founding his Black Ark Studio, he produced some of Bob Marley’s most famous songs and became a pioneering figure in the development of Dub and Reggae music. However, his influence extends far beyond music, inspiring artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat. His body of work includes visual art, film, and poetry – creating an expanding network of paradisiacal animals, cartoon characters, and saints, in a ceaseless quest to worship the Almighty.
