About Don Corleon
Don’s musical career took off in 2000 with the launch of the Vendetta Sound System alongside cousin, Protoje. He would soon make his name in music production, debuting with the Mad Ants Riddim in 2002 – an instantaneous classic that quickly gained worldwide recognition. A legendary aura began to surround him as he released unforgettable riddims like Egyptian and Good To Go. Talk about Vybz Kartel; mention Jah Cure; utter the name Pressure, Munga Honourable or one of a myriad of other artistes and it is likely that Don has been the wind behind their sails. For many, he is the first gust that effectively made them embark from uncertainty and head towards the limitless horizon. For others, he took their flourishing careers to another level.

Noted singles such as Elephant Man’s ‘Pon Di River, Pon Di Bank’ and Sean Paul & Keyshia Cole’s ‘Give It Up To Me’ only increased his status as the preferred production professional. In 2005, by then having countless Dancehall hits, Don introduced a modernistic interpretation of the one drop beat when he put out the Drop Leaf Riddim. Boasting tunes like ‘Be Strong’ by Sizzla Kalonji, ‘Longing For’ by Jah Cure, ‘Footprints’ by TOK, ‘It’s OK’ by Bounty Killer, ‘For The Leaders’ by Luciano, ‘After You’ by Tanya Stephens and ‘Intoxication’ by German singer, Gentleman, Corleon’s contemporary style had international Roots Reggae lovers hypnotized. He soon followed up with the Seasons Riddim, voicing Morgan Heritage on ‘How Come,’ Fantan Mojah on ‘Thanks And Praise,’ Wayne Marshall on ‘Happy Days,’ Natural Black on ‘Far From Reality,’ Wayne Wonder on ‘I Still Believe’ and more.
