TREVOR RANKING RUSSELL I got my name RANKING for singing songs in the REGGAE DANCEHALLS, CLUBS, SHUBEENS and PUBS.

 A fine young woman of those times, coined the phrase, so to speak. I love to sing, but in everything u do, u have to learn your trade. I then set up a local sound system, with friends called DHARBA INTERNATIONAL to play the music we love to the public, yes, still a rebel.

I later took PROMOTING and ORGANISING DANCES in my area to another level, while still playing music as a DJ. I did this for years and singing and chatting on the mic was always the bonus.

Before i ever picked up a mic in a DANCE, my love of tunes gave me the zest to play what i heard and i bought my 1st RIDDIM GUITAR and taught myself chords and then started to write/arrange songs on any subject matter that came to mind. The BASS GUITAR became my FAVE instrument and i rehearsed those songs with fellow and local musicians with the intention of going on stage to perform, but, i was committed to do the dances that i had been organising, so i just wrote/arranged tunes as a recreation. 

I  was then offered in the nineties a LEAD SINGING position in a SKA band called A SHOT IN THE DARK and i toured with them for a year, all over the country (ENGLAND) to good reaction.

I am now focused on my music, which i PRODUCED and PLAYED myself, and i hope you will enjoy the works that i have achieved, when i release the whole PROJECT.
