About Me
Who is Waggy Tee?
Known to most as the King of Clash, the King Waggy Tee is a legend not only in the music industry, he is also a legend in his own back yard, in South Florida.
Andre Chue Sang moved to the region over 40 years ago and has paved the way for many music enthusiasts we listen to today. The current explosion of world music in the United States, owes a lot to the man known in music circles as Waggy Tee. The City of Miramar, Florida recognized Waggy Tee’s trailblazing work as a sound system operator and radio disc jockey by declaring January 18 "Waggy Tee Day". This monumental occasion was commemorated when Waggy Tee was presented with a Proclamation by the City of Miramar Florida's Mayor, Wayne Messam. An initiative curated by M.C. Sealy, a World Music Executive at Smiley Girl Entertainment, and Commissioner Maxwell B. Chambers who saw the need to recognize Waggy for all he has done for the culture.
Gratified that Messam, the other Commissioners and Vice Mayor acknowledged “the works I have put in throughout the years”, Waggy Tee reflected on the evolution of South Florida’s dancehall/reggae landscape.
“In the late ‘70s to early ‘80s reggae music got a lot of fight getting played on radio and in clubs. We had to put on, or throw our own little jam sessions in banquet halls or country clubs in surrounding areas like Miami and Fort Lauderdale,” he said. “A few clubs would take a chance with our audience and have a reggae night, but usually it was on a off-night like a Sunday or Wednesday. Now, at least most clubs or radio mix shows have a reggae dancehall set played.”
2022 marks 25 years, Waggy Tee has hosted The Bashment Explosion on WEDR 99 Jamz. The two-hour show starts at midnight on Fridays and airs a mix of roots-reggae and dancehall. Waggy Tee was also a fixture at Jamaican dances, and helped expose a number of dancehall songs in South Florida at a time when New York City was the genre’s hub.
Today, South Florida is home to the Inner Circle band, and several producers such as Rvssian; Walshy Fire, Jon FX, GQ, Troyton, Tony "CD" Kelly, and Izy Beats who worked on Rapture, Koffee’s Grammy-winning EP. For all that progress, Waggy Tee believes there is room for improvement. “Reggae is still not getting the full force to make it happen. It is still grasping for air time on radio stations across the USA,” he said.
Born in Kingston, Jamaica’s capital, Waggy Tee migrated to South Florida in 1977. His involvement in music continues a rich legacy of Chinese-Jamaicans in reggae, set by producers Leslie Kong, Vincent and Pat Chin, the Hoo Kim brothers and Byron Lee.

Waggy has grown with the genre and has impacted the diaspora with his ingenious mixes. He has also branched out and infused his sets with the number one growing genre of Afro Beats while providing small island sounds of soca, calypso and more.
