Howard Anthony Hyde, known professionally as Tony Hyde, is a Jamaican-born restaurateur, entrepreneur, and author whose life story is a powerful testament to resilience, perseverance, and truth. Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Hyde was raised in a large family where community, culture, and strength were instilled early in his life.

He immigrated to New York City as a teenager, where he developed both his creative and technical skills—studying art in high school and later training in electronics at the New York Career Center. His early career included hands-on work with security and alarm systems before he transitioned into entrepreneurship.

In 1989, Hyde opened his first restaurant in West Palm Beach, eventually expanding to three successful locations within a decade. However, his trajectory was abruptly disrupted in 1998 following a life-altering encounter with racist law enforcement officers. The incident led to the loss of his businesses and his detainment in immigration custody for 11 and a half months—an experience that would later shape his voice as an author and advocate.

He relocated to Los Angeles and rebuilt his life from the ground up. He spent several years working with Whole Foods Market before returning to his entrepreneurial roots and establishing his current restaurant, Sattdown Jamaican Grill, in Studio City.

Hyde is the author of The Day Racism Walked in My Door, a deeply personal memoir that chronicles his unjust detention and the systemic racism he faced. Through his writing, he brings awareness to issues often overlooked, while offering a message of endurance, faith, and the power of never giving up.

Tony Hyde continues to grow his brand while using his platform to inspire others, advocate for justice, and share the authentic flavors and culture of Jamaica with the world.

Rosemary Murray is a legendary Jamaican actress, media personality, and storyteller with over four decades in the performing arts. 

Affectionately called Rosie, she blossomed and flowered as the rose of the Jamaican stage during the '80’s. Raised by academic parents, her father being a high school principal and her mother a teacher, she describes herself as having a natural inclination to be extroverted and enjoyed opportunities that saw her doing performances at school concerts at an early age.  Rosie still remembers the lines of a great long Christmas poem she recited at a school concert at the tender age of four. 

Her family migrated to England, where she received a formal introduction to theatre at the Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, which had a state-of-the-art studio theatre, providing another stage in her development in the arts. 

The Murray family returned to Jamaica in 1972, and Rosie continued her education at St Hugh’s High School. During high school, she participated in the National Schools’ Festival, earmarking her entry on the Jamaican stage with award-winning roles for two consecutive years. 

After high school, she worked with the National Theatre Trust (NTT) under the directorship of the Reckord brothers, Barry & Lloyd. The NTT experience was short-lived as Rosie fell in love and took a short break from the stage.  During that break, she was employed at Federal Records, which set the stage for her developing interest in music.  

At Federal Records, she associated with some of the great recording artists, musicians, and producers of the 70’s, where she often sat in on recording sessions that yielded some of the biggest hits of that era. The theatre bug had bitten and entered her bloodstream, so Rosie could not resist the stage and stay away. She went through some life-altering changes by 1979 and decided to pursue her theatre training seriously. She attended the Jamaica School of Drama (JSD) as a part-time student.  While there, she started receiving offers for commercial stage work, and after a year at JSD, she opted for first-hand experience.

Rosie got her first commercial stage break in the play "Rufus", working with noted Jamaican stage actors Teddy Price, Stan Irons, and Cyrene Tomlinson.  She was later cast in the Stan Irons-directed “A State of Mind.” Acting with seasoned actors Val Morris, Denise Oates, Yvette Hussey, Cyrene Tomlinson, Carmen Clarke, and Jonathan Brown, she blossomed, receiving rave reviews.  

She remembers “What the Wine Sellers Buy,” directed by the late Hyacinth Brown, for the very challenging role it offered her. The role of a 17-year-old American ghetto girl trying to live straight despite the odds demanded depth of character, an American accent, major choreography, a range of conflicting emotions, varying from parental conflicts to an intense love scene, which gave her the ‘meat’ to showcase her range as a very young actress. Rosie gained tremendous experience on the Jamaican stage, she has played to some of the largest houses right across the island from juvenile lead as Princess Rose dancing and singing in the National Pantomime “On All Purpose” to Jenni the reformed prostitute in Hugh Kings’ ‘Nightwork,” Sonia in Ginger Knights’ “Part Time Lover" and Hyacinth in ‘Boy Blue’”, Hilda in Patrick Brown’s “Friends" as well as Madge in "Guava Jelly”, Angela in Claire Nelson’s “Resident Alien” to name a few. 

She also appeared in Basil Dawkins’  "Flatmate, Same Song Different Tune “, Trevor Rhone's "Smile Orange”, Ed Wallace Productions “ Saving Grace", "Baby Father", "Cheaters", "Boeing, Boeing".  “Your convincing portrayal of a range of characters in satirical reviews can really stretch an actresses’ ability ‘ an me jus love fi get whey in them’ “ Rosie declares with her usual characteristic giggle.  She has done her fair share, too: “Candlegrease & Rabbit Punch" by Barbara Gloudon, "Yard ’89" by Patrick Brown, and "8’ O’clock Jamaica Time" by Gambrill Productions. The Company’s “Jane & Louisa" and "I, Marcus Garvey & the Captivity of Babylon" are two productions that remain firmly etched in Rosie’s memory, as she recalls the expert guidance of Director Earl Warner, who she says, ‘pushed her acting skills to another level’.

In addition to stage work, Rosie Murray was featured on several Radio soap operas as Angie in “The Way Of The World” by Gloria Lannaman, “Sister Angella” directed by Charles Hyatt, "Uptown Downtown” An Ed Wallace Production, and “Journeys” a JIS production. She also appeared in several docu-dramas, including “Under The Law". Her voice can still be heard endorsing various products in radio commercials, and the characters created in several television commercials, which continue to evoke laughter for many viewers.

Film was the next step for this vibrant actress, who was a part of an experimental group that got together on weekends and made the movie “Sunshine Affairs”, Television work followed with the “Oliver At Large “ series, ‘”Titus in Town”, “Sarge in Charge”, "Ring Games" and one of the earliest made for television video movies “Bodymoves”, which had done a long successful run onstage.. Credits also include “The Lunatic" (1991), "Scam” (1993), and “One Love” (2003).  

In 1988, her life changed in an even more meaningful way when she gave birth to a son, which changed her whole perspective on things, having to balance her busy career and single parenthood. 

1994 was a very good year for Rosie, as she finally got the opportunity to host a radio show on JBC Radio 1. Having worked as a sales representative and being involved in producing commercials and programs for television and radio, she was asked to sit in for Joan Johnson on the night programme” Journeys” while she went on maternity leave. This was where another bug bit; her creativity, coupled with her love for music, made on-air work a natural transition.  

JBC was known for the rigorous training that employees had to endure before making a transition from one department to another, and Rosie was no exception. General Manager Gladstone Wilson monitored her training process before giving the go-ahead to ‘fly solo on air’. This was the start of a whole new world for her as she conceptualized, produced, and presented various programs. With the closure of JBC in 1997, Rosie moved on to Grove Broadcasting, the owners of Irie FM, where she worked as a broadcaster and coordinator for 3 years. She did a short stint at RJR’s Radio 2 before moving on to Island Broadcasting (KLAS), where she was tasked with creating a Teen program, which she successfully implemented, gaining critical listenership throughout the island. Hot 102 followed, Bess FM, and Suncity Radio, where she held the post as Program and Production Manager.

She freelanced for a period, juggling PR consultancy, Voice & Speech Coaching, MC and DJ duties, Sales, Artist Development & Customer service workshops. She received several Actor Boy nominations in both Best Supporting and Best Actress categories, and won the 2017 Best Supporting Actress award for the role of Patience in Probemaster’s "Not My Child". She also held the post as Programming and Production Manager at the Whirlwind Group, where she wrote, directed, and produced several productions for the YAADTV Network and hosts her own "Sistahs Speak" Podcast.

Rosie exchanged wedding vows with Michael Tingling on her birthday, May 12, 2021. 

She recently wrapped a new television series called "The Johnsons," which aired on TVJ in February 2024. She wrote and directed season 2 of the radio Drama "A Place Called Yaad", a 13-week series on Radio Jamaica 94FM. 

This gifted Jamaican woman has been blessed with enviable opportunities in both the public & private sectors, on and off stage, camera, and even microphone. She is constantly inspired by life’s lessons, strengthened by God, humbled and thankful for the paths crossed and the roads traveled, as she continues to learn, grow, and explore, she believes -:  Life is made up of many moments, one right after another. The big outcomes, results, and achievements depend on what you do with all those little moments along the way.
