Ras Shady
Young Andrew Cameron is one of the most
competent young deejays working on the International
Music scene. He may be young in age, at 28, but he is
a veteran artiste, having started mashing up stage shows
from the age of ten.
"LITTLE WICKED", as he was now called, because
of his size and how good he was lyrically registered
the fact that he is a talent to be reckoned with. During
those early days, "LITTLE WICKED", went on
to record quite a few songs. The first of which is titled,
"Chicago Bulls", which was released in 1991
on the Prof record label. He followed up his first release
with another single titled, "I Spy", which
was also released on the Prof record label.
On the strength of these two singles "LITTLE WICKED"
began to garner some recognition as a qualified artiste.
So much so, that ace deejay, Ninja Man, having taken
note of his talent and decided to take him under his
wings which saw him earning the opportunity to perform
at Border Clash before a huge audience in 1992, in which
Little Wicked was called up on stage by Gun teeth, Gold
teeth Ninja Man.
In the early '90s "Border Clash", was a premier
calendar event that showcased the best talents in the
parishes of Kingston and St. Catherine. Of course, this
was the beginning of stardom for "LITTLE WICKED."
Immediately after his '92, "Border Clash"
performance he was booked by Isiah Laing to appear on,
"STING" that same year."
The following year, (1993), "LITTLE WICKED",
met veteran producer, Tappa Zoukie Sinclair, who expressed
the desire to work with him and assist him in building
his career. The first single, "Tappa", released
for him is titled, "Done Wid De War." It was
released that same year, along with "Nah Get Nuh
Ratings." The popularity of, "Nah Get Nuh
Ratings", inspired Ronnie Burke, the then C.E.O.,
of the now defunct, Synergy Productions, to book him
for an appearance on "REGGAE SUNSPLASH '93."
On that historic occasion he ended up performing in
a 'clash' situation with, "ANTHONY B" (who
was then also an upcoming artistes). That same year
he also performed at REGGAE SUMFEST. His first overseas
show was in Grand Cayman in 1994.
LEXUS PROMOTIONS AND RECORDING COMPANY head Mr Carroll
Powell heard and saw LITTLE WICKED'S talent and sign
him in 1996. He began to travel extensively and after
performing at an event in New York, a gentleman came
and told him that the late Biggy Small wants to have
a word with him, Biggy lamented about his talent and
potential. He also stated that he will be having his
own record company soon to be called Junior Mafia and
wanted him to be one of his first artistes to team up
with his production. This same year they performed together
at Sting. But it did not materialized because of his
death.
Soon after LITTLE WICKED met Dougie Fresh once more
whose path was cross during his time with Biggy Small,
they did a song together called "NUTTY BUDDY"
which did well overseas, so much that he and Dougie
Fresh performed at the Apollo in New York. There he
met the presenter of the Soul Train Awards who requested
their performance on that show. LITTLE WICKED was now
sparring with the rich and famous. He was introduced
to Tommy Hilfiger and became the first artiste from
Jamaica and the Caribbean to model his couture.
In the ever evolving international recording and entertainment
firmament trends change rapidly and in the beginning
of the new millennium he became a father ease off the
scene relaxing and helping to raise his three children.
It was during this period he found his true calling
in the Rastafarian faith and became a Rasta, which is
newly found name form to the now "RASSHADY".
Now this son of the sunshine city is back bigger and
better and has resign with Lexus Promotions and recording
Company. His Latest single is "RUN IT" which
is creating waves on the local dancehall circuit. You
can expect great things from LITTLE WICKED AKA RASSHADY
for the coming years.
