The D.A.P.P. Band is a blend of Reggae/Jazz and a fusion that sounds like love. There is a cohesiveness in the band that makes the sound rich, in not only culture but technique and sound. The originality of the music, seems like a soul felt caress. This is a new music that is bound to take over. I'm loving the D.A.P.P. Band. - Ikassek

THE D.A.P.P. BAND
Music creates a BOND. This BOND has been achieved through the coming together of 4 talented musicians who have been playing together for the past 7 years. This special group of musicians is the core that make up the roots and cultural sounds of the D.A.P.P. Band.
The D.A.P.P. Band had been the foundational roots sound of the MidNite Band for 5 years (00-05). Making some adjustments, these musicians are now ready to create and deliver a new roots and cultural sound that will help to uplift the spirit and consciousness in people of all nations.
The conscious sounds of Reggae music have now taken on a strong International root and the music is in high demand. The D.A.P.P. Band have been representing the Virgin Islands on the International market for the past 7 years, as individuals and as part of a group, and have now created a unique sound of music that is second to none. The Band’s musicians are not only skillful and innovative; they also carry a spiritual and passionate love for “Reggae music”, which in Latin means “The King’s Music”! It is no surprise that this brotherhood of musicians have remained bonded together to form the D.A.P.P. band.
The members of the Band has traveled and performed throughout the West Coast, East Coast and Brazil in addition to performing at many major Reggae Festivals such as R.O.T.R, S.N.W.M.F. and the Hardrock Café Hawaii.
The D.A.P.P. Band takes pride in bringing live roots music to the forefront. The strong foundation of the “ONE DROP” which is the Drum and Bass, along with the sweet innovative sounds of the guitar and the artistic accompaniment of the Keyboards creates this positive vibration, which is guaranteed to take you on a spiritual ride.
The D.A.P.P. Band represents the Power of Oneness, Brotherhood, and Love in motion of Word, Sound and Power. The band members receive their inspiration to produce such roots music from their faith in Rastafari and the message of universal oneness, peace and love. “With a just cause, Faith, and Confidence, David will still slay Goliath even in this 21st Century” Words of his Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie the First.
The D.A.P.P. Band composes, arranges and produces music. The Band is available for contract work in production, live, some back-up and other performances.
