Keznamdi
“This is not a choice or hobby for me, Music chose me. it’s a way of life and the only thing I have ever known,” explains a passionate Keznamdi, describing why his path has already been carved out in stone.
Keznamdi’s fate as a musician was inevitable, growing up with his parents who are lead singers of international reggae band—Chakula, touring the world and recording their 10 albums in the recording studio, located in his own home, buried in the lush St. Andrew hills of Jamaica.
Keznamdi ate, breathed and slept music. After countless nights falling asleep beside the strum of his fathers guitar, and hanging out back stage with his sisters at Reggae concerts, Kez already knew all the words to his parents’ songs at a very young age, bouncing perfectly on that infectious Reggae beat.
Not surprinsingly, Keznamdi recorded his first song at 5 years old—“Mix a Color”—an educational song about color mixing, inspired by his mother’s background in early childhood education at Harvard University. Already a natural and crowd pleaser on stage, he jumped at the opportunity to perform Mix a Color at his moms album release tours for her popular children’s album “Save the World” which became a viral hit in primary schools across Jamaica.
Kabaka Pyramid
Keron Salmon, known by his fans as Kabaka Pyramid, is an ever-evolving artist that has numerous ways of expressing his creativity. The ability to watch and learn from others around him has made him into somewhat of a Jack-of-all-trades. You can find him at Bebble Rock Studios, in his hometown Kingston, Jamaica, writing lyrics, producing tracks, engineering/recording himself or other artists, mixing songs, editing video/photos, or even learning to play the guitar! His passion for music began at early age when he would change the lyrics to popular songs and record his own version on his mother's tape recorder. What began as a humorous venture was actually a stepping stone for the artist we know today. Reggae music has always been a strong influence on the Kingstonian lyricist, but during high school it was Hip Hop music that captivated him, and you could find him walking to the canteen reciting his favorite Canibus or Inspectah Deck lines. The influence of both genres can be easily detected as he, and other Bebble Rock artists such as Koro-Fyah, seek to find the perfect fusion of the two cultural expressions.
Omari Banks
My music is reggae music. My band's sound is influenced by many different artists across many different genres. But our sound, our passion, our foundation is reggae music.
I have been blessed to be part of a strong legacy in reggae music. My dad, Bankie Banx, is a well known and respected reggae musician, and musicians like Cat Coore and Tony Ruption of Third World, Junior Jazz of Inner Circle and Benjy Myaz and so many other great reggae musicians have mentored me since I was a young boy.
Our fan support has been amazing, and I thank you for checking out my music.
Pentateuch
With Biblical references as the name of the band and their debut album title 'The Genesis', Pentateuch is one of the most spiritual of the young bands coming from the so-called Reggae Revival scene in Jamaica. 'The genesis' is full of militant and spiritual messages but the band is also showing a very listenable approach with some pop sounds here and there in order to spread their issues to a wider audience.Their fresh sound is connected to the foundation through echoes of Rico Rodriguez and Bunny Wailer but the results are highly original. Pier Tosi's interview took place in a very spiritual place: on the front yard of Bob Marley's Museum at 56 Hope Road in Kingston. The lead singer Kevor Williams answered the questions in the presence of all the others band members, the drummer Brady "Jah Bradez" Robinson, bassist Andrew "Worm" Ayre, keyboardist Andrade "Dradi" Bowen and guitarist Garth "Duckie" Forester. After the reasoning the band invited Pier at the rehearsals at Bootcamp Studio in Harbor View, home of their mentor, the legendary producer Computer Paul Henton. Their next show at Jamnesia was being prepared and Paul as gave fruitful advice to the band while listening their sound in the room. - See more at: http://unitedreggae.com/articles/n1345/060213/interview-pentateuch#sthash.2T47kRI6.dpuf

TYDAL
Navardo Graham, artistically known as “Tydal", was born on September 24, 1982 in rural St. Mary. He gets his inspirations and talents from his musically inclined parents who nurtured his passion for music and his natural ability to put words and melodies together. Tydal cites the legendary musical genius Buju Banton as one of his greatest inspirations, in addition to the reggae legend Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. Tydal penned and delivered his first song at age ten to an audience of his peers who were intrigued by his natural talent. In 2003 Tydal stepped into the studio and unleashed his lyrical talent where he recorded “Ghetto Youths Cry” for Tiger Records. In 2004 his passions and talents were affirmed by none other than his inspiration Buju Banton who expressed that Tydal was "a musical force to reckon with" and dubbed him as an unprecedented new talent after hearing hid delivery in a demo session.
In the years to follow Tydal recorded a song called “Smile” which received heavy rotation on local airwaves closely followed by his track “Ballground” and then collaboration with Gyptian on a Song entitled “Give it to Me”. In 2010, Tydal’s talent was recognized by the Master One Media at the time where he was signed as one of their artistes. Tydal was able to hone his talent and improve his writing skills under the guidance of these professional Individuals. In February 2014, Tydal put out his first EP entitled “The Journey of a Young Warrior” as this is a true representation of the artiste’s life through his music. In May of that same year, the artiste went on a North America Tour with popular artiste G Whizz to states like: Detroit, Alabama, Columbus, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and North and South Carolina, where he was well received.
Most recently, Tydal was one of the performing artistes at the LIME Skool Aid event in August. Shortly after his performance, his latest single “Babylon Burning” was released and fans can look out for a Video soon.
