Eek-A-Mouse is a Jamaican reggae musician. He is one of the
earliest artists to be described as a "singjay". Eek-A-Mouse is
well known for pioneering his own style of scatting, differing from
the-then toasting deejays in the 80s. Born in Kingston, Jamaica,
Eek-A-Mouse began his music career when he was in college,
releasing two roots reggae singles under his own name, which were
produced by his mathematics tutor, Mr. Dehaney. These early works
were influenced by the music of Pablo Moses. He then went on to
work for various sound systems over the next few years and
also released a few more singles. He adopted the stage name
"Eek-A-Mouse" in 1979, taking the name of a racehorse he always bet
on; it was a nickname his friends had used for some time.
