Bio
Fresh, authentic, positive, distinctive are just a few adjectives to describe the musical flavor and vibes of the Wurl Rootz Band.
The dream of creating a reggae band began in the minds of four childhood friends, (Trevor Thompson aka Trevaldo, Collin Smith aka C, Tafawee “Tafane” Buchsaecab aka Tappa and Craige Henry), while growing up without their biological families in Alpha Boys Home, Kingston Jamaica. The home provided the basic needs of the boys while training them in various life skills. As faith would have it, these four friends found themselves in the well-known Alpha Boys Music Program. The Alpha Music School is known as the backbone of Jamaica’s Ska and Reggae Music Industry, responsible for producing the best of the best in Jamaica’s top recorded and successful musicians and artists such as: The Skatalies, Yellow Man, Desmond Deckker, Owen Gray, Johnny Osborne, Leroy Smart and many others.
Currently, the band is in the studio working on a full length album with the legendary Roots Reggae singer/song writer Mikey General, who is an ikon and international superstar in the roots rock reggae music genre. Mikey has toured all around the globe with artists such as: Luciano, Sizzla, Turbulence and most recently in Finland with Chronixx.
This combination of Mikey General and the Wurl Rootz Band is a divine set-up from the master who is always at work... The motto in the studio (as the team collaborate on the full length album), says it all “Jah-Jah Is At Work, Low Him Mek Him Do Him Thing”, lyrics taken from one of the songs to be included in this powerful and highly anticipated album scheduled to be released summer 2017.
