At age 15, Nyah immigrated from his home in Dominica to Guadaloupe. There he joined a band playing jazz and rock. Shortly afterwards he became heavily influenced by the reggae music of Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh and Bob Marley. Nyah lived in St. Thomas a number of years playing in Reggae bands heard frequently at resorts and festivals opening for Sugar Minot. In 1997, Nyah moved to Maine and created Stream. Originally playing bass, he is now lead guitarist and vocalist. He is also the primary songwriter for Stream. Since Stream's creation they have played their energetic reggae - dancehall music at many local nightclubs, festivals and colleges. They were invited to play at Merrill Auditorium's "Night of Relief" to raise money for victims of 9/11. The band has also opened for Third World and Burning Spear on their tours. Many thanks to the Maine audience for supporting the band.

Rick Dufour, a Portland, Maine native was a founding member and bass player for the Rockin' Vibration Reggae Band for over 15 years until 2001 when the band retired (see http://home.maine.rr.com/rvreggae). Rick and Nyah met when Nyah first came to Portland. They recently re-met in Windham. Nyah asked Rick to fill in for a couple of gigs in January 2005 and shortly after Rick joined the band. Respect to all Reggae musicians and lovers of Reggae music. .......One LOVE
