Tippa Irie (real name Anthony Henry) is a British reggae singer and DJ from Brixton, South London. He first came to prominence in the early eighties as an MC on the South London reggae soundsystem Saxon Studio International.

He has collaborated with Alexander O'Neal, Long Beach Dub All Stars, The Skints, and Chali 2na. Sonny enjoyed his biggest success so far in 2003, when he appeared on The Black Eyed Peas' track "Hey Mama".
