Profile:
Billy Boyo, born on September 21st, 1969 in Kingston, was a teenage star of pre-digital dancehall. In 1981, being just 12 years old, he was discovered by the legendary producer Henry "Junjo" Lawes and also became part of his Volcano Soundsystem. Junjo recorded an album with him and another young deejay, Little Harry, entitled "DJ Clash Volume 2" and released through Greensleeves Records. In 1983 Boyo went to London and recorded another album for the Silver Camel label, but it didn't get released until 2003, when it saw the light entitled "Zim Zim" on the Silver Kamel Audio re-issue imprint.
Billy Boyo was rather a live deejay than a recording artist. After the digital era set in, it became quite around him, and he never achieved any kind of comeback. On October 29th, 2000, he died of a brain tumor.
