Bobby Dee: A Musical Journey
Bobby Dee’s passion for music ignited in 1986, launching a decades-long career. Initially known as Bobby Boom, he honed his skills with Oxford-based sound systems Sir Notch and Street Level.
In the early 90s, he collaborated with the funk soul band Tones Of Life, co-writing and co-producing their album released by JETSTAR.
