Reggae Veteran MC Ishu was born Clarence Earl Bradshaw in Kingston, Jamaica in the 1960’s.

Ishu spent much of his youth in the Payne Avenue and Waterhouse areas of Kingston and grew up with, what were to become Reggae Icons such as Tenor Saw, Nitty Gritty, Echo Minott and Ranking Joe. During this time he recorded tracks at the Penthouse Studio with artists such as Sugar Minott, Super Black and Cleevey (Sly and Cleevey).

Since moving to London in the ‘80s to record with seminal punk band The Slits, MC Ishu has been embraced by the UK Roots scene, establishing himself as one of the most saught after MCs around. Throughout much of the 90s he was the resident MC on Menasseh Sound System, before teaming up with the UK’s biggest Reggae DJ, David Rodigan when he became resident MC for over 3 years at the legendary night ‘Rodigan’s Reggae’ at Subteranea.

For the last Decade MC Ishu, has consistently been on the UK Roots, Reggae and Drum & Bass circuit playing alongside many of the top UK Sound Systems including The Iration Steppas, Reggae Roast and Solution Sound System.
