Teddy Brown is considered to be one of Jamaica's finest singers. He grew up in a very musical environment, and he always knew that singing was his passion. At an early age, he began carefully fine tuning his artistry with schoolmates, Dean Frazier, Ranking Joe, and Earl 16. A natural crowd pleaser, he specialized in performing at school concerts, and winning local talent shows. As a youngster, he shared those same dreams of sweet success, that motivated many of the local artists within his community, and he humbly waited for his time to shine.


With a timeless universal sound and evocative lyrics that permeate the fabric of their listeners and emphasizes public expressions of private truths, Trevor Flowers and Iheka-Chama have mastered the art of innovation through their diversified blend of sounds. Their sound is deeply rooted in the mystical, political and most revered reggae music that originated in the Island of Jamaica. The very roots that birthed lead vocalist, Trevor Flowers, who accredits his being a Kingston, Jamaica native, and a member of the Allman Town Community for laying the foundation for Trevor Flowers and Iheka-Chama. Flowers, a free spirit, embraced his love for music at an early age, and recollects the first record that ignited this flame when he was just five-years old; “ I am a Lonely Boy” by Paul Anka. “Secular music was like air to my lungs and food for my body.”

By the age of ten, Flowers started to sneak away from home to observe band rehearsals of bands such as Inner Circle, Tomorrows Children, Skin, Flesh and Bones, The Chosen Few, and Dennis Brown. In addition to his day musical excursions, he also drew inspiration from other vocalists and groups such as Carl Dawkins, Bob Andy, Sam Cooke, Milton Henry, The Jackson 5, Jerry Butler, The Wailers, The Impressions, and The Skatalites. This led him to form his own group (Mighty Youth) with two childhood friends, George Hunter and Melvin Trusty. The trio practiced endlessly and was coached in harmonies by Milton Henry and Jimmy Aris of the Skin, Flesh and Bones band. The Mighty Youth would write original songs (Open the Gate, Back to Africa and I Still Love You) in attempt to get their ditties recorded, and while they were unsuccessful in getting their songs recorded, they did not give up, and continued to play for their classmates and friends.

Flowers eventually migrated to the United States to attend college, later becoming an engineer. While singing on campus in his spare time, he was approached by a fellow Jamaican who invited him to join his band (First Galaxy), as their lead singer. The band performed at several venues in northern New Jersey where Flowers remained a member for three and a half years before leaving and forming his own band (Trevor Flowers and Iheka-Chama).
