Bio
Raz Bin Sam, a Jewish artist with a dynamic style and sound, comes from a small town in the centre of Israel. His culture is ancient, war ridden and clouded with conflict. Inspired to shed light on his people's story, Bin Sam travelled abroad to produce his works in English aiming to spread the Israelite truth internationally. Raz Bin Sam's lyrics and unique vocal delivery are a growing voice for peace in the Middle East. Raz Bin Sam & The Lion I Band are a 5 piece original reggae/dancehall outfit. The band uses a combination of roots, dancehall and Middle Eastern rhythms. In 2006 the band members came together at a poetry night where front man Raz Bin Sam was sharing his poems about the Middle East conflict. Soon after they started converting these calls for peace and tolerance into high driven reggae and dancehall tunes, and The Lion I Band was established. The most recent addition to the band is Mista Savona on keys. Raz Bin Sam & The Lion I Band have billed at numerous festivals including Exodus, Splendour in the Grass, Beats On The Beach, Brisbane Multicultural Festival, Boost Mobile Surf Show, Brisbane Fest, NZ Freeski Open, Exodus, Reggaefest, Island Vibe, Fest Napuan (Vanuatu), Soundfest (Israel) and shared the stage with international artists such as Mos Def, Matisyhau, Tippa Irie, Luciano, Mikey General, Ricky Trooper, Katchafire and many more. " If you were going to introduce me to a reggae artist who was originally from Israel and then had spent part of his time developing in Australia that is someone I'd be interested in hearing. There are some tunes on this album which simply NO ONE ELSE in reggae is making. Raz Bin Sam delivers on Own This Life a vibe that will TEAR THROUGH the casual reggae listener and will grow on the hardened reggae head at the same time. Think Alborosie + Agitated version of Junior Kelly = Raz Bin Sam." – Achis, AMG " Love the mix of influences. It's got that MIA rawness with a middle eastern sound and a Jamaican feel". - Dom Alessio, Triple JJJ Discography: 1999 - 'Kivsayat' - LP (Hebrew) 2002 - 'Domesila' - LP 2005 - 'Bin Tote Too' - LP 2007 - 'Raz Bin Sam & the Lion I Band' - self titled EP 2009 - 'Raz Bin Sam & Lion I - Live in Byron Bay 2009' 2009 - 'World Gone Mad' - Single 2010 - 'Own This Life' - LP 2012 - 'Santo Vanuatu' - Single 2012 – 'Love comes First' - Raz Bin Sam & The Lion I Band LP is due for release 25th April 2012 -
