Little Harry was born and raised in the parish of Saint Thomas, Jamaica.
He attended the Bell Rock Prep School, then to the Hampton Court Primary School, the Port Morant All Age School and Saint Thomas Technical High School.
Little Harry’s music career started when he was 12-13 years old at the time he was attending the Port Morant All Age School. He was a D.J. on a sound system called Black Lion, which played at the Land Top in Port Morant. The sound sytem owner, Gogoil, was also a friend of Harry’s.
One day, Harry went to a pushcart derby and competition in Port Morant Square. A sound system by the name of Aquarius was playing at a place called Cotton Tree. The owner of Aquarius, Toby from Morant Bay, was also a friend of Harry’s and let Harry step up to the microphone. The audience began to jump and shout for Little Harry. The following Sunday, Harry attended a beach party at a place called Prospect down by the Blue Macho Beach. The sound playing was Aces Disco. Harry stepped up to the microphone and let loose a tremendous performance. Afterwards, the selector for Aces Disco presented Harry with a contract to D.J. on the sound system.
One night on 1981, Harry entered the J.C.D.J. National D.J. competition at Skateland in Halfway Tree, Kingston. Some have it that Harry won the competition but the victory was given to Yellowman. In Harry’s own words, “Well ah so life go. Me never say nothing.” Since then, Harry and Yellowman became good friends.
Little Harry and Yellowman began to work together on the same team including Fathead and Jah Ruball. They performed all around Jamaica and released a live recorded dancehall album called “Fever in the Dance Hall” including the track called “Little Harry Having a Party.” That was the first time Harry’s voice was heard on a record.
In 1983, Harry began to D.J. on the sound system called Volcano where he also was afforded the opportunity to record an album on the Volcano label titled “D.J. Clash Volume 2: Little Harry vs. Billy Boyo”. It was released and distributed by Greensleeves Recording Company in the United Kingdom. It was a top ten album according to notes kept by London record shops, Dub Vendor and Hawkeye Records.
