Morna Dodd daughter of Clement “Sir Coxsone” Dodd was born in 1958, the 2nd of Three children her older sister Claudia born 1954 and younger brother Clement Jr. in 1957 born out of his union with Una Hutchinson.
This was the time of her father’s launch and success in the Sound System business which he started in 1954. During these years he operated up to 5 different sound systems playing all over Kingston and Jamaica simultaneously.
Her mother worked closely with her grandmother Doris Darlington during this period, at Nanny’s Corner and assisted him when he also operated several businesses in Downtown Kingston, as he ventured into the recording industry and finally bought The End nightclub in 1961 where he built the Jamaica Recording & Publishing Studio/Studio One, opening in 1963.
Morna’s mother let for England in 1961 leaving the children with Clement and then they both got married to different partners in 1962. The children attended their father’s wedding to Norma Dodd, and lived with them till 1965 when they went to join their mother in England.
As her father continued to establish his family, he went on to have 3 children in the marriage and 4 other children otherwise with various women. He maintained communication with Morna and her siblings as he continued to grow his business and distribution in London in the late 60’s onward.
Morna grew up as an entrepreneur and also a chef in the footsteps of her grandmother and father. As her father passed on she established Coxsone’s Lounge and restaurant in Birmingham and several music themed ventures. Due to unsettled issues in his Estate she was forced to not use his IP until a settlement is agreed on. Her father left his company Studio One & the 13 Brentford Road Estate to his wife Norma, their daughter Carol, Morna and her 2 siblings Claudia & Clement Jr. as well as 2 other children in Courtney & Paulette and his mother Doris Darlington who predeceased him.
Morna has continued her enterprise as Dodd’s Lounge in Ocho Rios with various events and projects honoring her father’s legacy especially on his January 26th, 1932 birthday and May 4, 2004 Memorial Day. Her son Reese transformed the Birmingham Coxsone’s Lounge location to his name Christopher’s Eatery with an innovative food menu and has established a studio there. Her grandson, Montana is a rising star in the UK urban music scene and her upcoming project “Reggae A Di Lick” is in development to establish a foothold in the recording industry where she is also securing the legacy of her younger brother Clement Dodd Jr. who passed on in 2012.
To her credit, Morna is the most active and visible heir in the public arena in relation to her father’s vast heritage and can be depended on to remain a shining and successful light
