Today Otis Irie, my friend, from Harmony Reggae Band Birmingham will be laid to rest.
Otis wasn’t just a musician — he was a true reggae soul. A man who carried rhythm, warmth, love and unity wherever he went. Through his music, his spirit, and his presence, he brought people together and left memories that will live on long after today.
As DJDancerider, I feel honoured to have known him, shared some music with him, and called him my friend.
Otis represented what reggae is truly about: love, respect, togetherness, roots and real heart.
Today is a sad day, but it is also a day to celebrate a life that touched many people. The music, the laughter, the memories and the love will never fade.
Rest easy, my friend Otis Irie. Your song may be quiet today, but your spirit will play on forever.
One love always.
