About the author of Studio Idler~
Mike Murphy
I grew up in Nashville Tennessee, son of a very musical father and a wonderfully artistic mother, moved to the UK as a 10 year old in 1976.
I grew up in southern England, always obsessively listening to music, Country Blues, Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Holly and finally at about 14-15 years of age my first taste of Jamaican music. I fell in love with U-Roy's 'Dread Inna Babylon' L.p. Suddenly all Reggae didn't sound the same!
Around 10 years ago I bought my first serious Reggae for an age, and that was it, a long slippery slope into a desperate auto-audio compulsive disorder. It wasn't long and I was buying my first original Jamaican singles, refusing to eat and so on, less I waste my paltry record buying funds on essentials like rent or clothing!
I originally conceived a site for Johnny Clarke because he was so woefully under-represented on the Web, and the original site King In The Arena was put together with rudimentary web design skills, then later re-done as johnnyclarke.com, it sees it's 4th re-do here as Studio Idler, having been unavailable for some time to you the public. I hope you enjoy it. Alongside this site, I have put together a site with long time mate Ian Causer Jamaicanlabelart.com and also spordically record a Reggae Radio podcast, Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio, listened to all over the World by thousands of lovely people.
