When his first single "Long Road" hit the clubs in 2008, everyone who was still awake at 3am pricked up their ears!

One voice had taken over - Reggae had a new name: CORNADOOR.

The readers of Riddim Magazine quickly voted him their BEST NATIONAL NEWCOMER IN 2008 and again in 2009.
"All Cornadoor needs now is a nice Roots album and next time he'll be mixing it with the big boys" (Riddim 02/2010)

Growing up in Bielefeld, north-west Germany, Cornadoor was introduced to Reggae by his father's record collection. His Dad also took him to concerts and big festivals when he was still only a child. As a young man he went to the Carribean several times, getting to internalize the carribean lifestyle and the local patois. When he got back home, Cornadoor joined some local soundsystems and bands, before recording a couple of demo tracks which finally left a lasting impression on his current label, Sound Quake. This partnership has being going well since 2008 and, according to the "trendcharts.de" German Reggae Charts, Cornadoor was the most succesful German Reggae artist in 2009 with his first three singles.

Cornadoor presented himself to the reggae audience with performances at Summer Jam and Reggae Jam in Bersenbrück. With his fresh and unique style, he left a permanent impression on the patrons.

WITHOUT RESTRICTION is a classic roots-reggae album first and foremost. In his songs Cornadoor gives us his personal take on the world. That way his first studio album has laid the musical foundations for an outstanding future. Thematically the album deals with typical social ills, such as corruption, poverty and despotism. Furthermore it deals with love, faith and all the other things that make life interesting. And since all the song texts and many of the musical ideas come from Cornadoor himself, the album flows from start to finish, harmonious and homogenous.

CORNADOOR - WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS will be available for download at all relevant mp3-platforms from July 9th and on CD in stores from August 2nd.
