   About Rockie Dan




Rockie Dan is the Eyes For The Future in reggae music. Rockie Dan is lead singer and front man for the band. The band is made up of a diversified group of professional musicians currently living in each of New York City's boroughs. There is a great mix of personality and caribbean nationality in the band. The music emphasizes roots, melody, harmony and groove. The message is one of love, spirituality and reflection.

The sample cuts on myspace include Rockie Dan as lead singer, Chubby ..board, Radss on bass, Leroy on rhythm guitar, Kicker on Drums, Iawatta on lead guitar, Venise and Janet backing vocals, Richie on sax, Nate on trumpet, Vincent on trombone.

Members of Steel Pulse at Living Room studios in Brooklyn are currently mixing Rockie Dan music ("Talk About Love", "Make Hay While The Sunshines", "Tell It Like It Is", "Don't Let Me Go" and "Jah Is The Answer")

Rodney Blackman sees reggae music with his Eyes for the Future as lead singer Rockie Dan with his new band. The band expands the sound of reggae music with a new CD full of original songs set for release in September. Talk About Love and Make Hay are two new songs set to hit the airwaves revolving around melody, rhythm, love and spirituality.

The band is made up of a diverse group of musicians that all currently live in New York City and have roots in the reggae and music community.

Rockie Dan, originally from Guyana, currently lives in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. Adwen Moore (Chubby) also originally from Guyana and currently residing in Brooklyn is on the keyboards. Radss Desiree on bass guitar, originally from Dominica, now lives in Brooklyn. Keithroy Jackson (Kicker) living in Queens and originally from Antigua keeps the beat on the full drum-kit. Also from Antigua and currently making his home in Brooklyn is Leroy Tonge on rhythm guitar. Iawatta Hammha Selassie from Guyana and Vince Hunter from the Bronx both share with lead guitar responsibilities. Iawatta also fills-in with keyboard riffs. Richie Phillips, from Manhattan, plays sax, and arranges horn charts. Nate Birkey, recording artist, from Los Angeles plays Trumpet and Vincent Lebrun originally from Belgium (now a Brooklyn resident) is on trombone. Venise Maybanks from Jamaica (now living in Queens) and Janet Alleyne from Trinidad (now in Brooklyn) are the back-up vocalists behind Rockie Dan.

The new hit single "Talk About Love" was selected by director Brent Bambic for his new upcoming movie "Exploring Love" that will be debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2007.

Rockie Dan, Leroy Tonge and Richie Phillips have written the songs for the band.

Let the music touch your soul and the reggae will rock and roll!

Jul 14 2008 1:20 PM

Like you probably know I have my own label and do almost everything myself. I love being involved in everything from recording to marketing, but I have realized that no man is an island, everybody needs a little help, right? :)
So if you like my music, and would like to contribute? please show your support by :
1. Spreading the word about my new EP Quest For Klarity 2. Request my songs on your local radio station 3. Add my music to your space 4. Post blogs, reviews, and comments about my music online 5. Sign up to my mailing list 6. Listen to the EP and just Smile (seriously a smile can change the world)
I really appreciate all the support I can get!
Thank you for your time and please Stay Happy!! Klara Kazmi
