Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace

Leroy HORSEMOUTH Wallace is considered, in real life as in the movie ROCKERS, one of Jamaica’s greatest drummers. Born in poverty, he was brought up by the nuns of Alpha School, an institution with a reputation for toughness and for molding musical talents. Horsemouth began playing professionally at age of 15 and struggled many years, first playing for Coxsone’s “Studio One”, the birthplace of ska and reggae. He has played with just about every recording artist in Jamaica, and is credited with laying many of the percussive foundations of reggae music.
