Blessed with one of the Virgin Island's most crucial voices of Reggae is St. Croix born Ras Attitude. His love for music is one passed down from generations. His mother and Grandmother, both well known for their musical abilities, are the foundation for his established vocals.
With the release of his debut album "Happiness" in 2001 and the follow up album "Love Life" in 2004, Ras Attitude has emerged on reggae with an unquenchable fya. A musical taste of pure niceness. Outside of the Caribbean, Ras Attitude is also known as one of Virginia's hottest artists, thrilling crowds where ever he performs. Touring many cities alongside Virginia's 'Hands Off Band'.
This energetic and charismatic singer takes his music to the next level by blending many styles of music. Whether it be singing or chanting, he is sure to deliver the powerful message of Rastafari. From songs like "Stop Chat", "War To Win", and "The Voice" to the mystical lyrics of "Glorious" and "JAH Love", the Ras manages to keep ones wanting more.
As a grassroots soldier of Sound VIZion Records, he has courageously stomp down Babylon corruption with many artists like Shinehead, Mada Nile, Beenie Man, Capleton, Sleepy Wonder, Star Lion Family, Batch, Luciano, Mikey General, Bambu Station, Simpleman, Red Lion and many more. His Motto: "Love Life, Show Love, Don't Give Up!" is seen throughout his livity. A conscious voice in this I-llennium.
Marko has always had a deep love for music. His parents always had instruments around the house and when Marko got to middle school he started playing in bands. After high school Marko spent several years as a dj on the west coast and Europe. After living 6 months in New Zealand, Marko got back to his roots and started writing and recording reggae again. He works heavily with RuffKuts Clothing and Great Shape Inc and just finished his new album "All the Love that I've Found." The album exudes early 80's Jamaican swag with a half-baked west coast twist. He still finds time to tour and write new music. Stay tuned for more from West Coast Rub a Dub artist Marko
Scottie "One Drop" has been a fixture in the Northwest Reggae community for the past 20 years, and thus has played with just about all of the local artist, and has played for a good portion of the touring artist. He is the founding member of The Escort Service Band, a backing band for Northwest World Reggae Festival, and for many touring artist touring through the northwest. He has been known for putting together a big 10 piece band, or a small 3 piece band that is always top notch. He believes every musician he works with excels in certain aspects of playing, and chooses to use that to mold the sounded needed for each different act.
After meeting Alcyon Massive, and doing shows with his previous band Indubious, they decided to work together. Alcyon wanted his own band that could shine the light on this young , thriving artist, with new songs in his back pocket ready to go. This is how we came to be The Bound For Glory Band.
