Don Letts


Don Letts is an English born film director, DJ and musician with a Jamaican heritage and background. he is a pioneer of the original punk scene in Britain after Djing in the first punk club 'The Roxy' which only lasted 100 days however its influence and inspirations has had a great impact on the punk subculture following its closure.

Since there wasn't many punk bands and music around at the time of The Roxy club started out, Letts played Dub step and reggae inspiring a rebellious culture clash which worked through cultural differences having a release for music.

Don Letts introduced the merging of cultures through the unity of rebellion which is music.
He now works on various production projects still djing at clubs and producing a few bands whilst still hosting a regular BBC 6 music show.

i have got in touch with Don Letts about doing an interview and am currently awaiting his response.
