About Habesha

With 4 big vinyl releases in the last 2 years, and having played parties in Italy, Poland, Morocco, California, Switzerland, France, Hungary, Malta, The International Dub Gathering and the Dub Camp, Habesha is hitting the dub scene with full force!!! Growing up in a small village in Southern Italy with traditional country values started Habesha off in life with strong principles. Her classical piano training was a challenge at the time, but now expresses in a new frequency. As she grew into her spirituality she naturally rebelled against the Catholic Church, while still retaining the quality essences of a religious upbringing.

As a young adult spending years in the good vibes of Italy’s underground Bass Music party scene she eventually found Dub Reggae and naturally Rastafari… Moving to the UK to find a new path in life she got deeper into the music and faith as she learned the English language. A regular at Aba Shanti and london dances in the mid 2000’s she was exposed to the best of the early UK Dub Sound System scene. Being connected for years with producers like Moa Anbessa, Dan Imperial and Roots Hi-Tek naturally inspired her to start producing her own tracks. In 2010 Habesha released her first tune on de Italian Dub Community vol 2, followed in 2011 on Italian Dub Community vol 3. As her music was being appreciated by notorious soundman like Aba Shanti I & King Earthquake she continued to create music refining her own style. With a sweetness and musicality often not heard in Dub music, when combined with her raw militant drums and driving basslines her productions have a powerful impact.
