Ozi Brown has spent over 20 years crafting Caribbean cuisine. His greatest inspiration for cooking came from his father, who enjoyed cooking for his family and friends. As a young man in Jamaica, Ozi would travel the island and cook for the Rastafarian community during Nyabinghi celebrations. Through this experience, he learned ways to make food that not only tasted good, but also nourished the mind, body, and soul. “I love to feed people! At that time I wasn’t a chef, I just loved to cook and people loved to eat my food,” says Ozi.

Before finding his rhythm in the kitchen as a professional chef, Ozi grooved to the beat as a percussionist – touring the world and performing alongside multiple Jamaican artists like Ky-Mani Marley, Yami Bolo, Junior Reed, The Congos, and more. His passion for music remains, but his instruments eventually evolved into pots and pans.

Today, you can find Ozi preparing delicious Caribbean dishes for events throughout Los Angeles. He gained popularity for his pop-ups outside of the Los Globos entertainment venue in Silver Lake, where he’s fed many people in the music and entertainment industry. Since then, Ozi has been a trusted chef in the music industry for the Marley family, Lauryn Hill, Mario and WondaGurl just to name a few. Whether he’s handcrafting meals as a private chef for his celebrity clientele or bringing the flavor and spice of Jamaican cuisine to the vibrant city of Los Angeles, his passion remains strongly rooted in his culture.
