Vivian Jackson (or Yabby U) is today regarded as one of Jamaica?’s finest producers of the classic Roots Reggae era.

He was also known as Jesus Dread because he believed in Christ rather than Rastafarian Haile Selassie I and his singing career initially came about after a religious discussion about the difference in his beliefs. Jackson headed towards a recording studio, having heard music “like a strange ting, inside a my thoughts – like an angel a sing.”
