Bobby Brown is a Creative Producer, Artist Manager, Community Worker and Broadcaster. In recent years Bobby has focused his energies on Brighton and it’s local artists and community; working with long-time friends, Rap & Production duo Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn, as well as working across various grassroots and community projects with organisations such as AudioActive, BARCO, Brighton People’s Theatre, The Hangleton and Knoll Project, Platform B Radio and The New Society.

KTLM is a fertile ground for emerging talents, helping their development and continuation of the message for generations to come. Such talent includes the likes of Brother Culture, Ruben da Silva, MC Buzz (Likkle Judah), Darrison (Ragga Dan), Rob Catto, Joy (Kings hi-fi) + many more. Jah works is their mission!
