Raven Reii
Dancer DJ Rapper Songwriter Vocalist“Performing came naturally just like singing, songwriting and producing.” RAVEn Raven is not your archetypical girl next door. She comes packaged with an array of skills beyond the average. She’s a singer that commands her own band, graphically designs, an amazing pencil artist, plays instruments and shaves off her hair occasionally just for the heck of it. This 5’6 sexy blonde has a great sway for the arts. Her vocal skills are a revelation of a woman ready to come out and her look is very edgy. Her life story could be a best seller book and yet beyond the surface of her enigmatic body of tattoos , lies a kind hearted humble girl that suffers the passion of music. “At the age of 6 I already understood songs and music both Swedish and English so I knew I wanted to be an international artist...!”  She was born in a family of artists in the suburbs of Stockholm’s Southside. A musical father who spent evenings in the basement with his guitar and drums, a mother with an interior designer skill and a brother that preferred the rap game. This is the introduction of Raven to the cutthroat business we call the industry. Ready or not, she’s already set her foot in through the crack...

Owen"Juggler Knibbs
Songwriter VocalistIf there is one thing that has remained constant in the life of Owen Knibbs, it is his passionate love affair with music. One could say it was inevitable that he would fall in love as his mother initiated him through the many parties she hosted in her backyard. Growing up in Mount Salem, Montego Bay with his three sisters and nine brothers there was no time for boredom, not with Mama Granty’s music to entertain! His love and appreciation for music were finally put to the test in 1974 when he got his first taste of the stage. He gave a powerful rendition of Tinga Stewart’s winning festival song 'Play Di Music' …and at that moment he found his calling after hearing the mad applause. From then on Knibbs never missed an opportunity to showcase his talent whether, at church concerts, community shows or at school events. It is said that birds of a feather flock together and that proved true when Knibbs met Martin Reid while attending St James High. With both sharing the same passion for music, they started performing as the duo Ista and Billy Dread. Knibbs got a chance to showcase his talent on a bigger level when his classmate brother promoted a dance with several top named artists, including Sister Nancy and Early B. Knowing every performance count, Knibbs put his all in it. It resulted in him earning Early B’s respect. Early B was so impressed with his Knibbs talent he tried to get permission to take him to Kingston. His mother would have none of it, but that didn’t stop Knibbs from performing in and around St James until in 1982 when fortune again smiled on him. A school friend, Leon, heard the cassette playing with himself, Early B and Bruck Back and thought it sounded good. He made a copy and took it back to Kingston with a promise to send back for him. A few months later Knibbs was finally in Kingston - in Havanna, Arnett Gardens. It was there he met artists such as Eek-A-Mouse and Squidley Ranks, along with influential promoters and producers whose networking saw him linking with Barrington Levy among others. Things never worked out the way Knibbs had hope so he returned to St James. That experience set the foundation for some of the other breaks that would come later. After completing school, the more mature and even more determined, Knibbs returned to Kingston in 1985. Two years later Knibbs hit the jackpot through his first and only single produced by his friend Virgo at Aquarius Studio in Half-Way Tree, entitled "Juggler". He penned the song while in school with the inspiration coming from the struggles of poor people around him. Juggler proved more prophetic than he knew as others tried to ‘juggle’ from his and Virgo’s creative work. This resulted in him and Virgo throwing in the towel and walking away from the recording scene. Knibbs migrated in the early 90s and although he discontinued recording, he kept in touch with the music through shows promotions and sound systems, until one night he played his own recording 'Juggler' and Jah Mikey asked him who sang it. When he realized it was Knibbs' own recording, he encouraged him to go back in the studio. Knibbs, however, ignored the request, but Jah Mikey persisted. Intending to go in the studio and prove to him that he didn’t “have it" anymore, he recorded a song, but as fate would have it, the song turned out great and people liked it. The result – he is now working with several production labels such as Dygon, Hi Dawg, Hazematic, Interrupt and Lambsbread, who he has rerecorded Juggler for. After recording and putting out songs and videos on YouTube and Soundcloud, he caught the attention of Jamwax Records out of France, a vinyl distributor that specializes in rare and hard to find music. After 29 years, they wanted to re-press the Juggler and make it available to buyers as it was still enjoying purchasing powers from music lovers – a fact which had Knibbs in shock. Since it released in late 2014, he is finally starting to see his journey on the move again. He recorded 'Juggler' in dup-plate style for sounds in Japan and Europe. He has also released his seven-track EP titled 'Last Call' and it is now available on digital outlets including iTunes.

Shawn Raynard Pennington
Songwriter VocalistRoi Danz (French translation King Within) Born Shawn Raynard Pennington August 05, 1992 Roi Danz hails from the Jamaican rural community of Point Hill St Catherine. Danz fell in love with poetry at an early age and started writing rhymes from as early as age 10. He describes himself as an ambassador of authenticity who doesn’t like copycats, “I used to see my classmates write love letters to each other and all of them started with roses are red violets are blue, I hated the lack of creativity as I thought we were young potent minds”. He attended the St Catherine High School located in the inner city area of St Johns Road Spanish Town. At this time he was introduced to a different style of poetry as there was a heated high school dancehall clash. Being around an artist by the name Vehnom Danz learned how to lay his rhymes on beats so he opted to venture his creativity into this lyrical battle. Teaming with the St Catherine High’s Form 5ive Empire he did diss tracks throwing jabs at artists from other schools. Every Friday these artists would meet in the bus terminus for face to face lyrical battles. Danz not being a lover of the public spotlight shied away and never showed hence throwing away the opportunity of early exposure. “I have always loved poetry not popularity I would prefer to be a writer but my style is purposeful poetry, not the hype”. After high school, Danz went straight into the world of work doing construction which stemmed from his love of architecture. “I never like the 9 to 5 thing, always want to be my own boss why I love architecture”. Not being able to finance the course of his dreams he went on to using other jobs as stepping stones. During his spare time, he met up with his Form 5ive brothers and would write rhymes to beats and did very little recordings. “I don’t like hearing my own voice” during this time he recorded the single Spendaz Party, “that song is just a reality of how some people go to parties just to look, the promoter’s dream is always to have spenders so I have to lend my voice to that”. After losing two close friends within six months Danz recorded his second song Tattoo Tears for Form 5ive Records. “If you listen to that song the pain is heard, and everyone who lost someone close will feel it”. A lot of people liked the song and that encouraged Danz to do more with what he describes as his natural talent. Danz was then introduced to Barrington Gray of Cedar Valley Records a Sweden based recording company. This new affiliation saw Danz venturing into the Reggae genre as he did the single “Why” a social commentary song highlighting injustice in social classes. Danz started doing performances at restaurants, bars, and parties or just about anywhere there was an audience he could share his poetic ideas with. He hopes to use his music to bring across a positive message of change. “I am against oppression and I will always try to be the voice of those treated unfairly because we are less fortunate, I am the type of person who will switch on the tv see a match playing 2-1 and say come on we can win”. Danz wishes for his music to be there for people in their darkest times. ”I believe there should be a song by me that people will listen, during break-ups, job loss, social pressures, loss of a loved one and any other form of hardship or hard times”. To date, Danz is working on his first album R.O.A.R (Reality On A Rhythm) on which there promise to be some awesome tracks. “As I said there will be some tracks for every situation so you won’t need to listen to Adele through your break-ups there will be a Roi Danz s
