Odyssey
Odyssey.. The next level in dancehall!!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I am originally from beautiful Puerto Rico (Born in Aricebo). From a very early age I was exposed to the soul, feel and vibe of the true reggae music. Many people don't realize this, but Puerto Rico, being the smallest island of the Lesser Antilles, is a part of the Carribean. The cultures and music of Puerto Rico also show that broad and unique mix. For whatever reason, Reggae is the ONE sound that I really felt from day one, and I feel blessed to be able to spread that love and appreciation to others.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I perform live at various functions in NJ and NY.. You may catch me live at MiCasita (email me for more info) and on Red Rose's show among others.. I have performed live with the likes of Bingi Bob (B.I.B.L.E. - 2002 Bingi Princess Records), Danny Culture (Nobody Love Me - 2002 Spider Productions), Slinky Sharp (2oG Entertainment), J.A.G.W.A and Activist (JaQuzzi recording artists and frequents on Red Rose's show), Conroy Smith and many others!!
