A singer who came to Bob Marley by way of the Clash and the Police, Bobby Kray was discovered in the Brixton, U.K., reggae record store Blackerdreads. It was there that Garfield Hackett and Nnamdi Ogugua, both from the Black Allianz label, came to see the store's famous "skinny white boy" who came down from Notting Hill's Landbroke Grove to entertain customers with his singing over reggae instrumentals and dubs. The label set the vocalist up with U.K. reggae legend Dennis Bovell to record a single, but the chemistry between the producer nicknamed "Blackbeard" and Kray soon meant the duo would be working on an album. The result, Tales from a White Skinny Boy, was released in 2007 by the V2 label with the Eek-A-Mouse collaboration "Main Man" as its first single.
Bobby Kray, born August 1980, hails from Ladbroke Grove, West London. While his friends were listening to Pop, Jungle and Hardcore, Bobby was listening to the likes of Bob Marley, The Police, The Clash, Fleetwood Mac and ZZ Top....This musical diet was largely due to his parents record collection but also to Bobby's desire to hear music with a story and meaning. After a chance meeting with Black Allianz Productions, a collaboration that mutually had in interest in creating a unique sound fusing Reggae and Soul, 'EekaMouse' was tracked down to duet with Bobby on his album that Dennis Bovell had agreed to produce. The album was also mixed by Paul Epworth and the award-winning Bacon & Quarmbey. Bobby has toured around the UK with the likes of UB40, India-Arie, Ziggy Marley and Amy Winehouse to name a few... Tales From a Skinny White Boy is out now !
