JD, Kaluna, Ray, Art, Kanoe first came together in 2017 to join forces and making a group that showcases all their love for reggae music. JD is the percussionist and floats between guitar, bass, and some keys. Kaluna rocks the lead guitar and gives the group that east bay swag. Ray rips it on ukulele and keys giving Hawaiian Royalty that Hawaiian Sound. Art fills it in with solidifying bass lines, while Kanoe’s vocals brings that much needed female touch to the group.
Late in 2017, Mike Ponce was added as the groups drummer bringing in that one drop drum beat. In early 2018, Jay was bought in to take the lead on Keyboards and make this collective even tighter than before. These seven talented musicians brings forth worthy positive reggae vibes, with strong harmonies and dynamic transitions.
