Sweetie Irie

Sweetie Irie (b. January 1971) is a Jamaican-English deejay and singer.

Role in Gorillaz
Sweetie Irie is responsible for the vocals on Clint Eastwood (Ed Case Refix). Clint Eastwood’s refix by Ed Case is the most well known version of the song in England and was very popular in English dance clubs. It was technically the first Gorillaz song to ever be played live, and was performed by Ed Case at Notting Hill Carnival in August 2000 (the performance predating even the release of the Tomorrow Comes Today EP), and was once performed live during the Gorillaz Live tour in 2001. It was played live for the first time with Sweetie Irie in almost 20 years during the Song Machine Live From Kong performances.

Irie is also the vocalist for the Gorillaz track Dub Dumb, from MTV Music Generator 2.
