Peddy D (real name Pedro Deane) is a Bajan reggae musician. He was born on 20 Dec 1974, in Queen Street, St Peters, Barbados, and raised in Speightstown. He is unusually prolific, even by Bajan standards.

[edit] Music and faith

Peddy D is accepted as one of the most influential and inventive reggae stars Barboados has ever produced. Peddy ascribes to the 12 Tribes of Israel sect of Rastafarianism which is a sect which is known for its orthodoxy in terms of its stringent rejection of values associated with western culture and colonialism.

Peddy D, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Sizzla, and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement toward a re-embracement of Rastafarian values in contemporary reggae music by recording material which is concerned primarily with spirituality, social consciousness, and resistance against perceived agents of oppression.
