Menny More was born Junior Morrison in Kingston Jamaica on November 26, 1976 to parents Francis and Millicent Morrison. Originally living in Duhaney Park, Kingston, they moved around Jamaica to Manchester, Portmore and by the time Junior was 10 years old began splitting time between New York and Jamaica. From an early age Junior was surrounded by music, both in the church and at home, where his mother was constantly buying and playing 45s. While attending his freshman year in high school at William E Grady Technical and Vocational High School in Brighton Beach NY, Junior followed his mother’s passion for records and would go to Super Power Records every day after school. There he started to become acquainted with some of the biggest New York reggae artistes of the day; Nicodemus, Sluggy Ranks, Trevor Sparks, Louie Rankin, Sister Charmaine, Sleepy Wonder, Mikey Jarret, Rev. Baboo, Bobo General and the “Don Dada” Supercat. It was with this crew that Junior was first introduced to recording and producing reggae music. Don One and Ruddy Studios along with Biltmore Ballroom, where Ryder would perform regularly, were the most influential musical places for him in New York. After recording a number of singles and going back and forth between NY and Jamaica, Ryder also started spending time at Jammy’s Studio in Kingston. “King Jammy and John John, who is one of my favorite producers to work with, instantly noticed the talent in me and released me on several riddims of the time, and even introduced me to Steely and Clevie and the great Bobby Digital who I also eventually recorded with”. In 1994, Ryder recorded “Thunderball” on the Stalag riddim with Jammy’s and then the name Menny More was bestowed on him. Menny continued to hone his skill and linked up with the Easy Star All Stars back in the early days of the band. In 2011, Menny More embarked on a solo project, which brings him much joy, motivation and pride. He is ready to make his name known far and wide as a solo artist, one that has much experience and one that is spreading a positive message to the world, thanks to the wonderful instrument that Jah blessed him with.
