Bankie has made great music for more than 30 years now and has seen the entire spectrum of the music and entertainment business. For some its a paycheck, but for him it is his passion. Through his 11 studio albums Bankie has contributed quite a bit to the music landscape. Bankie has also been blessed to work with some extremely talented artists and make great friends. On his last studio album "Chariots of Steel" Bankie worked with the legendary Cat Coore and the immensely talented Benjy Myaz to create one of his finest works. Bankie is also proud of his work with the Stingray Music and Arts Education Program which he co-founded in 2005 on Anguilla. Bankie has admired Alana Davis' work as an artist for many years and has had an opportunity to share the stage several times over the past year. Bankie also appreciates the talents of Junior Jazz, Onaje Allan Gumbs, Joanne Williams and Tony Ruption who have all contributed tons of positive energy and their immense talents to his work in the past few years.
