Brother Culture is a unique character, to say the least. The youngest of seven children, he was born to a Nigerian father and Irish mother and has always stood out for his strength.

Brother Culture's musical career began after returning from Nigeria to the UK in 1981. Brother Culture began traveling with sound systems in south London such as "Papa Channa," "Prince Rising," and "Young Enchanter," and then actively became involved in UK sound systems in 1982. Brother Culture joined the Jah Revelation Sound and within a year became one of the youngest MCs in Brixton.

At the time, "Jah Revelation Muzik" was the house sound system on which Sister Culture (his sister) was one of the most prominent MCs. Brother Culture was the host MC for Jah Revelation as they traveled throughout the UK playing private and official Twelve Tribes of Israel dances. The time spent with Jah Revelation allowed Brother Culture to be part of the 1980s sound system explosion, playing shows with sounds such as "Sir Coxsone," "Jah Shaka," "King Tafari," and "Renegade Sound."

In 1985, Brother Culture participated and performed at the Crown Prince ball on Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica, with other MCs from around the world representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel. This trip led Brother Culture to move to the United States in November 1986 and perform throughout the US with Brigadier Jerry.
It was in 1987 that Brother Culture began recording singles, his first being with the Progressive Sounds label "Hip hop or it could be reggae" produced by Patrick Progressive sounds. The track became a hit on the underground circuit, and Brother Culture began working with various producers.

In the 1990s, Brother Culture continued to tour and record, releasing albums with various labels and collaborating with artists such as Aswad. He also became involved in the burgeoning bass music scene, collaborating with The Prodigy on their albums "Invaders Must Die", "Day Is The Enemy" and "No Tourist"
