Percy 'Percydread' McLeod made his name as a singer/songwriter whilst part of the Natural Ites, the biggest Roots Reggae band to come out of the UK.

"As far back as I can remember music has been there, my diet of music was broad, i never realised it at the time but i was into Blue Beat, Mento, Ska and Rock Steady. My parents always brought me to parties they would go to, and I'd dance out the peoples' carpet. I would run home from school to play tunes by singers such as, Linval Thomson, Horace Andy, Johnny Clarke...."

Percydread continues to perform his material live, as well as vocal work with Highness and Sama Sound Systems. He continues to tour around the UK and throughout Europe.

UPSIDE DOWNSIDE : Percydreads debut solo album Upside Downside, is reggae roots drawing on contemporary sounds with Rastafarianism at its spiritual core.
