BRIMSTONE
Biography
Living in the heart of Belize, the capital city Belmopan, “Brimstone” has progressively gained recognition as 1 of ‘Belize’s Purest Roots Reggae Bands’.
Their unique and energetic style of reggae was created in early 2003 when guitarist, James {Jimmas} Hyde & bass player, Mark {Diesel} Wagner, (both former members of Fiyah Hart Band) combined forces with childhood friends, Nkrumah Obi {Drummer} and Ras Indio Obi {keyboardist/vocalist} sons of legendary Belizean Musician, Bredda David Obi.
Performing at many local events countrywide, Brimstone began establishing their “Blazing Revolutionary sound”, which has now gained them major respect throughout the streets and (small but growing) music scene in Belize.
They have since grown to be Belize’s .. 1 Opening Act for many International showcases:
“Sizzla Kalonji” – June 19th, 2004, “Luciano” - December 18th, 2004
“Barrington Levy” – December 31st, 2005, “I-Wayne” – August 12th, 2006,
just to name a few…..
While in the process of recording their 1st full length album, their bright new sound can be heard on tracks 6 & 7 of Ras Indio’s latest album, “Cant Stop We Now” {which can also be heard on website www.RasIndioBelize.com} & also they helped musically produce Redadan’s album….”Moving Forward.”
Brimstone has also produced riddims for different Belizean Artists. 1 of the biggest being “Mama Don’t Cry” which featured “Sons of Negus”. It reached and remained ..1 for 3 consecutive weeks on Belize’s National Radio count down; “KREM FM 96.5”
As the Almighty works in mysterious ways, we can only believe that it is His will & true destiny for these 4 Rastafarians to have reunited, to now bring a joy unto Jah people, a Spirit of Love & Righteousness through their positive energy within the music. They continue to work hard preparing themselves to spread JAH messages Worldwide.
Give Thanks & Praises unto the Most High, “JAAAH
