Description:
Toyan aka Ranking Toyan (born Byron Letts, died 1991) was a
Jamaican reggae deejay active since the mid-1970s and best known
for his early 1980s recordings.
Toyan began his career in 1974, deejaying on Kingston's sound
systems, such as Socialist Roots and Romantic HiFi. He recorded his
debut single, "Disco Pants" in the late 1970s for producer Don
Mais. He went on to work extensively with Joseph Hoo Kim and Jah
Thomas, resulting in a string of hits including "Girls Nowadays",
"Kill No Man", "John Tom", and "Talk of the Town", as well as
combination hits with The Mighty Diamonds ("Pretty Woman"), Badoo
("Rocking the 5000"), and Freddie McGregor ("Roots Man
Skanking").
In 1981 he joined Henry "Junjo" Lawes' Volcano Sound system, and
toured Canada. With Lawes, he recorded the album How the West Was
Won, and went on to produce his own work and that of others such as
Billy Boyo and Anthony Johnson. He toured the United Kingdom with
the Jah Prophecy band and performed in Jamaica alongside Dennis
Brown.
Toyan was murdered in Jamaica in 1991.
