Super Cat, born in 1966 in Seivright Gardens, Kingston, is a legendary Jamaican DJ who began his career in the 1970s as a live-DJ for soundsystems, initially toasting under the alias Cat-A-Rock. He released his first single, "Mr. Walker," in 1982 for the Techniques label. After a brief stint in jail, he became a regular DJ on sound systems, earning the nickname "Wild Apache." In the latter half of the 1980s, Super Cat gained immense popularity with a series of hits, establishing himself as one of Jamaica's top DJs. In the early 1990s, he relocated to New York and signed a major deal with Columbia, leading to several albums and singles.
