History
Fatt Jointz or FJ Entertainment was rebranded as Digital Jukebox in 2007, when BBC Publishing became its publishing partner and the label's musical genres diversified. The first global song release under FJ was "With Fx", produced by Mark Duffus. The label has worked with artists including Ced Gee of Ultramagnetic MCs, Fonda Rae, Joyce Sims, Yvonne Curtis, and Funk Division.

The audio-story offers a humorous take on a classic tale about an over-confident, fast-running hare, aiming to encourage youngsters to read books and enjoy audio stories; Mark Anthony performed all character voice overs, including a hare with a distinctly Caribbean personality. She is mentored and managed by Mark Duffus and regularly performs at the UK Reggae Land festival, where she has been called the hardest working woman in reggae by Lorna Edwards of Reflector Magazine.
