In 1984 I teamed up with my two brothers the late Pupa Davis and Rev Didah and  started a sound called it Dread Brothers Promotions.They started doing small gigs at the Garden Square until I finally left Roots Inity Promotion in 1985. We then started doing our gigs in a big scale playing around Clubs like Chiromo and Alliance Club. In the summer of 1985, Ras Ken Ambasu and Daddy Chosh joined the sound.

I left for Germany in 1985 and worked for a year. In  1986 and went to Denmark and bought my first music equipment and went back to Kenya. It was very easy for us to go mobile playing around the country because we had our own Sound System which was the first one in Kenya. I visited Shashamane land in Ethiopia as a member of the twelve tribes of Israel and met Dennis Brown. That is when I decided to change the name of the sound to Shashamane International..

In 1987 I organized the first sound and Dj clash at the City Hall in Nairobi including one from Birmingham England with a brother called Teflah. That is when I met Terrence Munene and since he was the youngest and the baddest of them all in the competition, I gave him the name of Youthman Terry and added him on the sound right away.
We Started playing at Hollywood Club and in late 1987 I went back to England where I met Dennis Brown again and he did my first Dubplate for the sound, a song called country living. In 1990 I went To New York  and settled in Harlem. Back home, we moved from Hollywood Club to Monte Club. And Daddy Freddy, King Monday, MC Fanya, MC Frank, Daddy Augustinoh, Ras Panyaley, Oga Sura Mbaya, Dj. Sweta and MC Juce joined the sound.

In New York City I opened up a store on 125 street and St. Nicholas Avenue. And hooked up with some youths from the neighborhood who used to frequent my store and hear me play loud Reggae music on the street. Their names were James Bond, Little Fox, Six Killer and Danger One. And our manager was Sister Dorsey who was our manager. 

The current members of the sound are Ringo, Short Boss, Dj. 4eign, Dj. Murphy, Dj. Bugs, Dj Priest, Jahmo, Albinorock, Daddy Chosh, Dj. Augostinoh, Toni Dread, Rev Didah, Dj. Chevy, Prince Otachh and Ranking Charlie.

Royal Marx Sound was established in 2014 by UK Reggae selector Mista Sensi.  With a background in the UK Urban Music scene he has always been drawn to his reggae roots.  Born the first son to a man who played Reggae Sound system's in the late 60’s & early 70’s.

 

His musical Journey stared when he was part of a Youth Soundsystem by the name of “Empire” In his local area of Kettering/Wellingborough/Northampton (Aged 16/17) where he took up the role of Selector /Mic man.  It was whilst doing this that he formed a bond with local promoter and Top-Notch DJ Jay-Nyce (R.I.P). Jay-Nyce took Mista Sensi under his wing and they worked on numerous differing projects and would often travel the country playing the music they both love and enjoy.  Jay-Nyce recommended that Mista Sensi work with another local up and coming DJ by the name of DJ Skully.  Following the passing of Jay-Nyce DJ Skully & Mista Sensi decided to keep pushing their musical careers in respect to Jay-Nyce.

 

Mista Sensi has spent time working in the background of the UK Hip-Hop Scene, and devoted his time to mastering his art as a “Host/ Stage show Hype man” for former UK DMC Battle for Supremacy Champion DJ Skully.
