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.

Upon graduating from I.N.C.A Jamal toured the country with Polydor recording artist Roy Ayers and Ubiquity for a number of years. In 1996 Jamal moved to Maine for the quiet life, meeting Nyah upon his arrival becoming one of the original members of Stream.

He was working on a few tracks for Stream's second upcoming CD even before reinstated into the band. Being reunited with his first connection with Reggae and Dancehall bring memories from back in the Cherry St. days. THE FIRST SHALL BE THE LAST AND THE LAST SHALL BE THE FIRST. ALL PRAISES DUE TO JAH. . .

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
Stream is Maine's premier reggae band offering music from the heart and soul of the Caribbean. Immerse yourself in their original compositions. Enjoy the deep roots reggae, soca, dancehall and zouk styles. It has been a 7 year long course of experience and hard work for the creation of Stream. You can catch the band's vibes at local nightspots around New England. They perform at festivals, schools, weddings, cruises and private events. I and I humble respect all listeners of music. Jah bless unto each and everyone. The band has just completed their 2nd CD "Mission of Love". Check It Out!
Summer is almost here! Careful not to blink a moment too long or it'll be gone again. Hope you all have a great time playing festivals this year. I'll be on the look out for you. Andrea, Amalla & Maya
