Dane 'Ghetto Bomb' Miller - CONTRIBUTED

For anyone who has ever been to an uptown or downtown party, street dance, club, stage show and even a rural-area event, the name Ghetto Bomb should ring a bell. But who is the man behind the name?

Twenty-one-year-old Dane Miller is a street distributor for the Big Ship label, a sound system operator and budding entrepreneur. As soon as he arrives at a party, selectors often acknowledge his presence, 'bigging up' Big Ship and playing songs from the label's two leading artistes, Chino and Laden.

The budding selector started out mixing tapes and CDs which he distributed around the Hagley Park area where he hails from. Later, he was promoting events, handing out flyers advertising the weekly event, Bembe Thursdays.

After promoting Bembe, Miller moved on to bigger things in 2005, distributing CDs for DASECA. He told THE STAR, "Yuh know seh I was by DASECA studio when TJ (of TJ Records) seh mi need to start do some work. So mi start out promoting his riddims Show Time and Unfinished Business. After dat mi start promote dance, den mi start promote the single Doh for Serani."

After a call in 2007 from producer Stephen McGregor of Big Ship, Miller moved on to work with McGregor, Chino, Laden and Bramma. "I'm signed to Big Ship; a dem mi work wid. Laden buss, Chino get big now, other artistes a run me down but a Big Ship mi work for," he said. Miller now operates Ghetto Bomb sound system with two selectors under his wings - DJ Prisoner and Flex. He recently started distributing for the female trio, Tifa, Timberlee and Natalee Storm.

Proclaiming that he is the man who never sleeps, Miller spends his days distributing CDs for his artistes, calling selectors and familiarising them with new songs and in the night promotes in the streets. For the future, Miller sees big things happening. He said, "I waan do big things for the music, own my own promotion company, get a office and do my ting."
