(Artist/Writer/Engineer/Producer/Publisher)
Music has taken on a new name and his name is "AShunDa", age 28 and incarnate in Barbados. He started singing in the school�s choir at the age of 10. Roots and Dubs caught AShunDa�s attention because of how the music was orchestrated, especially the base line. In Barbados, there are two main types of music Reggae and Calypso. AShunDa decided to focus on Reggae more than Calypso because of the tempo and the consciousness of the lyrics. He grew up listening to artist like Gregory Isaacs, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Jimmy Cliff, Kidd Site, Fafa, Kurti and Fat Man. AShunDa recently performed at Zanzibar Night Club as the opening act for Third World band.
In 1999 he began to work with an engineer name Maylon from D.C. who taught AShunDa more about engineering. As his engineering ability grew in music and electrical, he started working as a technician for Demus of the sound system Royalty hooking up the amps, turntables and speakers. In 1998, he got his first computer, so he was able to produce his tracks, through self-teaching he learnt the different softwares in the music industry such as Cubase, FL Studio, Master track pro, Protools and Nuendo. He practiced and worked hard, which took his musical career to a height touring in the UK. His goal is to continue producing positive, authentic music and develop his Youth Engineering Program in teaching the poor and have-nots. Music to AShunDa is the strongest form of communication to the youths and adults without a struggle. AShunDa has just released the new compilation album "Chah" in May 2007 featuring his hit songs like "It is U Jah" and "Inna Zion". Look for his new album �Be Mindful� coming soon. |
