Dylan Judah

Dylan Judah formed Cannons, (1997-2003), one of the West Coast's most skillful and heartfelt reggae bands. Non-stop club and festival performances from back in 1997 up until now have been the platform for Dylan Judah to sing his songs from Cannons' first two independently produced cd's: THANKS & PRAISE (1999) & LIFE-ELEMENTS-VISION (2002), and most recently from his debut album DYLAN-JUDAH (2004). 2003 was Dylan Judah's most exciting year in-terms of high profile performances (Bob Marley Day in the Long Beach Arena, UCLA Reggae Festival, The Keyclub, House of Blues, etc.) Performing at Los Angeles' most prestigious events every month of 2003 was the key to Dylan Judah's massive promotional campaign, as well as L.A.'s area DJ's regularly spinning their favorite Dylan Judah and Cannons tunes (98.7 KPFK, 100.3 The Beat, 92.3 Hot Jamz, etc.) Dylan Judah, who is a prolific singer, song-writer and producer began his musical career as a young drummer, driving the rhythm of his teenage ska band Caught in the Act (C.I.A.), 1988-1992. During those formative years Dylan traveled to apartheid- era South Africa, and Jamaica on several occasions. From these most influential and eye-opening experiences, Dylan emerged as an impassioned singer, rooted in the Rasta-life, and committed to bridging the gap between 1st & 3rd worlds, rich and poor, nation and nation, -ism & skism. Listen to Dylan Judah's messages and you will find words on encouragement, upliftment through UNITY, LOVE, TRUTH & RIGHTS, and much more. In 2004 Dylan-Judah is presenting the world with his self-entitled, debut release. This album is produced by Dylan, engineered and dubbed by the world renown Hopeton Brown a.k.a. "SCIENTIST" and performed by many members of Cannons with the great addition of legendary drummer Carlton "Santa" Davis (drummer with Peter Tosh, Ziggy Marley, etc.). In 2005 look for Dylan Judah and Sugar Black’s new collaborative album entitled “Black Judah” on Judah’s Mountain Paradise Records label, as well as a stack of new singles with more JA artists. Dylan Judah has shared the stage with Run-DMC, Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff, Shaggy, Sean Paul, Third World, Pato Banton, Don Carlos, Buju Banton, Damian Marley, Long Beach Dub All-stars, Sugar Black, and many more. *Dylan Judah and the Cannons were honored as the 2003 INDEPENDENT REGGAE ARTIST OF THE YEAR by the Musician's Resource Group.
