Barnes was a protégé of Prince Buster, and recorded several singles during the 1960s.[2] Lloyd Barnes worked for Duke Reid's Treasure Isle label as an engineer before emigrating to The Bronx, New York, in the early 1970s.[1][3] Here he founded the Wackie's House Of Music record store, and behind this shop-front was the first significant reggae studio and label in the United States.[1] The Bullwackie's and Wackies labels followed, along with other imprints such as Senrab, Hamma, and Senta.
