In a 2010 Interview, Federal Engineer Graeme Goodall comments, “One of the unsung heroes at the time of course was Lloyd “The Matador.” He was very, very good because Lloyd used to build all these sound system amplifiers.” As evidence of the exceptional virtues of Matador amplifiers, Matador is the only sound system to be able to successfully and forcibly take over the dancehall when Duke Reid refused to cut off his sound. This success can be defined by the young technician Daley - with his impressive amplifiers, confronting Duke Reid and Clement Dodd and others in the Dancehall arena. The creation of Matador amplifiers is what brought Lloyd Daley his first level of success in Kingston.

Prince Buster and Duke Reid had Lloyd Daley adjust their amplifiers to improve their sound. The Matador was building a reputation with his amplifiers and was able to demonstrate his unique sound at his own dances. The Matador provided the top amplifiers with clarity of sound and power of bass that had not been heard before and other technicians were unable to match. By the end of the 1950s, The Matador was working on sono devices, and also working to improve the sound of amplifiers, which were in use with his own sound and in conjunction with a growing group of sound systems who were in search of the best amplifiers for their sound systems. During this same period Lloyd’s Radio & Television Service was opened in Kingston and served to repair radios, television, and electronic equipment. The Matador was one of the very first sound systems to be named with a bullfighting theme. Daley played his first sound system event at a social affair. Daley built his first amplifier to boost the signal strength of his army surplus walkie-talkie and he converted this same amplifier with four vacuum tubes, into a sound system amplifier. Daley worked as a linotype apprentice for a short time while attending Kingston Technical High School, where he graduated in electronics.
Daley is known for his work as an electronic technician, his role as a sound system pioneer, studio engineer, and producer. Lloyd Daley - also know as “The Matador,” was born on 12 July, 1939 in Kingston, Jamaica.
