About Brookesy
Born and raised on the island of Bermuda, Brookesy brings his love of reggae music and island soundscapes to his productions and songwriting.
Brookesy, also known as, James Brookes, is a Bermudian reggae artist, producer, and audio engineer and CEO of Limestone Entertainment, Inc.
Brookesy was introduced to reggae and Bermuda’s dancehall culture scene as a youth. As a former emcee and selecta, Brookesy is a fan of both dancehall’s expressive and boastful sounds, in contrast to the lyricism and intention of conscious reggae.
A graduate of Recording Arts Canada, Brookesy has parlayed his love of big sound system, dub, and conscious reggae vibes into his independent production company, Limestone Entertainment, Inc.
Early in his reggae vocation Brookesy found inspiration from iconic reggae artists and innovators like: Jimmy Cliff; Beres Hammond; Bob Marley and the Wailers; U-Roy; King Tubby; Morgan Heritage; Peter Tosh; Black Uhru; Chronixx; Jesse Royal; and Protoje.
And took his journey of dancehall education through soundsystem stalwarts like: David Rodigan; StoneLove; Bass Odyssey; Playbwoy; Souljah1; and Mighty Crown.
