Pink Panther

Well supported

Pink Panther (Edward Johnson), also styled Pantha, is a Jamaican selector with roots in the Seaview Gardens sound-system community of west Kingston. He co-founded and helped build Black Kat, the Manchester Parish sound formed around 1990 at Christianfield, into a championship clash name through exclusive “killing specials” and performances including the 2010 Squingy Cup at Death Before Dishonour's Final Warr. Panther later departed Black Kat and continued under his own selector name, so the sound remains a defining former affiliation rather than a current roster claim.

Wattage never settled a sound clash — the crowd's reaction did.
