Author Information

I was born in Jamaica in the West Indies in 1937. I attended the local primary school until the age of sixteen; I went on to study Agriculture at the J. Y. C. Institute in Jamaica. Before graduating in 1956, I enrolled in the Jamaican Constabulary Force to do my national service, and while I was there, I learned classical music. I left the Force in 1960 and immigrated to the United Kingdom, where I have continued to reside permanently. In 1961, while studying electrical engineer, I worked as a session musician in recording studios playing wind and percussion instruments. In 1971, I went into management, formed my own band, and established a recording company producing my own and other local artists' records, and took up the management of a few recording artists. Among the artists that came under my management was the famous Actor and recording artist Jimmy Cliff. I also supported him with my band in his stage performances. This continued until 1975, after doing a world tour with Jimmy, including the USA, Africa, and the Caribbean. This continued until 1975. After accepting Islam, I decided to stop playing music and leave the industry. It was also during this period of my life that I decided to do a counselling course, so I went back to college and did a Marriage and Family Counseling course, and I am still a Trustee and a marriage Councillor in a Psychodynamic Counselling course. It was also during this time in 1976 that I founded and formed a community in Brixton, South London, known as the Brixton Islamic Cultural Centre. I remain a Trustee and marriage counsellor of the community, which is still active today with over a thousand members, and a retired Imam for fifteen years with His Majesty's Prison Service in the United Kingdom. It is based upon my seventy five years of world knowledge and experience, which I have not mentioned in this narrative, that I became an Author in1998 and produced four published books in order to share with my brothers and sisters in humanity some of my experiences and knowledge that have so far proven to be of immense benefits to the seekers of truth.
