Beat of My Life: My Journey with Black Chiney

Robert Lee, aka Bobby Chin

Part 1: Early Years

Growing up in Jamaica, I was surrounded by the infectious rhythms of reggae and dancehall music. My love affair with music began at a tender age, and I knew that I wanted to be a part of this vibrant culture. Little did I know that my passion would lead me to become a key member of one of Jamaica's most renowned sound systems - Black Chiney.

I attended Saint George's College in Kingston, Jamaica, where I developed a strong foundation in academics and extracurricular activities. Later, I pursued higher education at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus.

Part 2: Finding My Groove

As I grew older, my interest in music only deepened. I began experimenting with DJing, teaching myself the basics and practicing tirelessly. My hard work paid off when I started performing at local parties and events, slowly but surely building a name for myself in the Jamaican music scene.

My big break came when I joined forces with Black Chiney. We shared a vision of creating music that would unite people across cultures and borders. Our sound was a fusion of traditional Jamaican rhythms with modern flavors, and it quickly resonated with audiences worldwide.

Part 3: Black Chiney Rising

With Black Chiney, I found my tribe. We were a group of like-minded individuals who shared a passion for music and a desire to make a mark on the world. Together, we worked tirelessly to hone our craft, pushing the boundaries of what was possible with our unique sound.

From performing at local clubs to touring internationally, Black Chiney's popularity soared. We became known for our high-energy performances, which always left the crowd begging for more. I felt grateful to be a part of something so special, and I knew that this was just the beginning.

Part 4: Reflections and Lessons Learned

At the age of seventeen, I made the bold decision to migrate to the United States, seeking new opportunities and experiences. Though it was a challenging transition, I remained committed to my passion for music.

Looking back on my journey with Black Chiney, I'm proud of what we've achieved. We've inspired a new generation of musicians and fans, and our music has become a staple of Jamaican culture. I've learned that success is not just about individual talent but about collaboration, perseverance, and staying true to your passion.

As I look to the future, I'm excited about the new projects and collaborations on the horizon. With Black Chiney, we continue to innovate and push the limits of what's possible. The beat of my life will always be rooted in Jamaican music, and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to share it with the world. F b Bobby chin I g bobby chin 80

My name is Decade Anne Frey-Shorrock. I'm a 35-year-old mother, musician and small-time record producer. I live with my partner, Pete and 3-year-old son, Glenn in Avoca, a country town in Central Victoria, Australia. I have several passions in life: I'm a foodie, as well as a lover of coffee, tea, aromatherapy, fragrances -- basically all things that stimulate all the senses! Ironically, I'm totally blind, but also have a love of cars of all ages, eras and styles!

My biggest life-long passion, however, is music. I play a variety of instruments, including piano and keys, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, saxophone, piano accordion and guitar. My niche is bass guitar, but I'm also trying to learn techniques for both bowing and plucking on upright bass. I love a wide variety of musical genres from the 50's to the 90's inclusive, but nothing mainstream from the last 22 years or so.

My biggest musical passion is classic rock from those decades. I can't name a favourite band, as I have too many, but they range from the likes of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Little River Band, the Eagles and Skyhooks, to Status Quo, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, right through to Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Metallica.
I've played bass and sang harmony and some lead in several bands over the last 12 or so years, performing classic rock, pop, country and folk. I'm currently in a band called the Chovies, which features drums, bass, acoustic guitar, banjo and 3 vocals. I don't generally work as a solo performer, but am comfortable providing vibes and background piano music for occasions such as art shows and fundraising get-togethers. My partner and I have our own PA and lights. Pete's in charge of the technical side, while I provide the music!

We also have our own semi-professional home recording studio and are in the process of promoting as an official business. It's called B Flat studios, (it's written as a musical note, but I'm not quite sure how to do that!) We have recorded many songs over the last 10 years, both as solo arrangements and with two of my bands. All except one are covers. All of these can be found on my BandMix page and two of them can also be found on YouTube.

'Let me know if this works by reply or on Messenger. I'm an open book, so if I've included too much or too little info, let me know and just use what you can! Either way, I'm honoured to have learned about your awesome podcast and have the opportunity to be a part of it! I look forward to catching up again soon!
Warmest regards
Decade.
