Hylton ''The Whistler'' Brown`s musical career began during the 1980s in his native country, where he won several awards at the Jamaican Pop & Variety Festival. His technique of whistling was considered so unique a performance there that the jury created a new category called novelty act-whistling. Later he went to Europe, where, apart from numerous successful live performances, he continued to write and produce his songs. In Germany he performed as intro for Mutabaruka, while his CD ''Come Rough'' reached high in the indie charts. Setteld between Bremen and MontegoBay he opened a cultural shop that served him to introduce reggae and rastafarian culture to the people. The spreading of Rastafarian music and values being his principal aim, Hylton Brown has also, since the early 90s, regulary been pleading his cause on the German radio and television. His current activity there consists in a weekly broadcast called ''Reggae-hour-radio-show'' in the OK-radio Bremen and ''Movements of a rastaman'' in the OK-television.
