Fred Locks was born Stafford Elliot in 1955 in Kingston, Jamaica.
He grew up in a strict Catholic home in the Franklin Town area of Kingston, along with eleven brothers and sisters, moving to Eastern Kingston when he was ten.
After some time in the music industry, he became disillusioned and immersed himself in the Rastafarian faith, living on the beach at Harbour View and allowing his locks to grow to a great length, giving rise to his nickname of 'Fred Locks'.
During his time living on the beach, he continued to write songs, one of which was "Black Star Liner/True Rastaman", an album that has remained popular with roots reggae audiences ever since, with the title track regarded as a roots anthem.
