Reggae Report was founded by M. Peggy Quattro, an American Reggae fan, writer, and former assistant manager to Bob Marley, Gregory Isaacs, and Jimmy Cliff; and Kingston-born Michael "Zappow" Williams, acclaimed musician, producer, and songwriter, renowned for the band Zap Pow and writing the anthem "This is Reggae Music."
Quattro, inspired by the music's spirituality and frustrated that it was misunderstood,[REF] continued publishing the magazine, traveling extensively to Jamaica and the Caribbean, as well as to England and major US cities, bringing news to the fans and exposure to the artists.
