Rodney's life found its direction in 1969, when he was wandering in the hills surrounding the St Ann's settlement and encountered Bob Marley walking a donkey.

By that time, Rodney says, he had found his identity within Rastafarianism, and by the 1980s he was controlling his own destiny as a producer with his Burning Spear label.
