Hailing from the Wire Fence district in Trelawny, Jamaica, reggae dancehall artiste Peppery, real name Clayton Brown, is now, and has been based in Manchester in the United Kingdom for many years. Clayton grew up with his parents, 3 brothers and 1 sister. Being the youngest in the family, he was never discouraged when he began to display an interest in the entertainment industry. Originally working under the moniker Bongo Chilli, he was only using Peppery as a slogan and was rather surprised when people started calling him Peppery, thinking that was his actual artist name. He even remembers recording a track for a particular producer and labelling the files as Bongo Chilli but when the producer released the record, it had Peppery as the artist. It seemed as if the name Peppery was inevitably his, so he adopted it and never looked back. Over the years he has released several singles and has been featured on many compilations. Additionally, he has performed at many venues/festivals right across Europe.
