Born in Jamaica, Hughie Izachaar came to England as a child. Raised by a strict family, after disobeying parental warnings not to attend sound systems he arrived home one evening to find his clothes on the doorstep and himself thrown out of home. Aged 17, he joined the British army as “the only alternative to being homeless on the streets,” & spent several years in Germany. Following the army, he began playing music, working with artists like Pablo Gad & Ras Imru.
