MICHAEL AHUSIMHENRE ONOKHUA a.k.a. MACORAS:
I was born to the family of Onokhua in a ghetto called Ahia,in the year 1968 in Ishan south east local government Ubiaja in edo state Nigeria.
I grew up with my parient and two sisters in the same village without electricity
and pipelined water and the nearest river to get clean water was about 180 km,
so as a youth I use to think it was the same system all over because non of us were able to watch television inna the dungle...
Well, inna this bitter expiriences I started up my primary school level in 1972-1978.After primary school I stayed at home for two years because my
parient could not afford to pay for every one of us at the same time.
We have to pay for school fees,books,school uniform...
So in 1981-1987 I did my secondary school level,then while in school I was a member of a school band called "The skalic force" which I play an importend
role as lead singer.We use to sing some gospel tunes because my parient are christians and every friday and sunday is a must for me singin with church...
What intensify me most is the daily suffering inna the dungle,the way we survive through this difficulties,poor parients,poor family,all living in
poverty,hunger and deprivilation...
Then I said to myself what must I do for my life and the life of my people?
So I went into meditationwith inna communication to Jah Rastafari and he said to me come my servant and give thanks to his majesty for this is the highest job I could get to praise Jah,seen...
So I met a friend living in the same neighbourhood with the same thought and vision.So we started by teaching me some chord on guitar and writing of songs and things like that.After doing this for a couple of month we decided to visit a bigger city,called benin-city,there you find the most talented artist in my country.In 1991 I joined the music course in a school called "eno luis music mind academy" with a couple of good friends and ended in 1995.We form a group called "The red Warrior" and later change it to "Soul Cryers"...
We use to play four days in a week and while later,still in benin-city,a guy come and watch our show and later said to us to come down to lagos that with our vibes we are fit into what the people wanna hear because we do the reggae sound.Then we all meditated over it and see say wha' we've fi move.So we move and I tell u wha' man.It was the greatest expierience fi wholla we...
Remember this, as a ghetto youth the first thing u must learn is humbleness and respect,so it goes in the dungle,seen...
Now me inna foreign to answer the call of his majesty mission by spreading
oneness,onelove to mankind living far and near,judgement is a must...
Later,in germany,I went to a park in for some meditations.There I ment a guy who invited me to there studio rehearsal here in Braunschweig which I did and try some choruses with them and later called me for master recordings where I met with dj danny,
we had some discussions that faithful day and after that the real thing began...
Now we build up a family foundation called "I Soul Reggae Family".We calling everyone poor or rich,young or old,man and woman,black and white.....
WORLD RULERS WHAT ARE WE DOING?.......
ARE WE ON THE WAY OF HIS MAJESTY?........
I AM FROM THE DOWN TRODDEN TRIBE THAT DETERMINDED TO SUFFER NO LONGER,UPLIFTMENT OF GHETTO YOUTHS IS A MUST DUTY......
BLESSED AND GUIDANCE.....HAIL SELASSIE JAH RASTAFARI
DENNIS GRIEBEL a.k.a DJ DANNY :
I was born on a sunny day,the 18th of may in 1974 and raised in Braunschweig in Niedersachsen.That beautyful small and old town(about 250,000 people;first mention in history is about 900 a.d) take place in the middle of Germoney,nearly district main city Hannover.I was able to have same school career like many other youths here.That means in 1980 I visit the nursery school for a year and after that I used to visit the basic school till the age of ten.Then I changed this kind of school and went to a school level called secondary level or middle school.With the age of 17 I left school and started becoming a mechanic for a huge factory.At the end this was the biggest reason to change my life...While working for that devil company I realized the babylon system surrounding me and I started getting deeper into reggae in general.At that time I used to read books and get different information about Haile Selassie and Rastafari.That was a rescue for me because in this times I was really in a mentally down because of this stinking babylon system...all that suffering all over the world and I live in the steering central of that evil and more than that:I give this babylon my powers and keep the devil working...oh boy,som wrong...som haffi change...So it happen that one day in '97 me and a good friend called Björn a.k.a G.T.Wonder visit a students club where them used to play reggae-the only "reggae club" in this times in Braunschweig-and after we enjoyed listen to Alpha Blondy's Jerusalem for the x-time this night(bigup DJ Adrian instead,big times in there,fi true) we decided to start something up.So after some funny hours for finding a sound name Kiki Sound was born.The next years we used to play some regular local shows in Burundi Black Club and some smaller locations.The biggest gig we had was the after show in Faust/Hannover for Patrice in front of 700 people(I think in 2002),very nice expirience,tell ya.But unfortunately in 2004 we quit of for several reason(everyone haffi seek for own destiny ,respect due,björn)...So one day I met Nic Felony of the concious Hip Hop crew called Soultecniques in Burundi Black and we talk about the music buisness in general.At the end we know we haffi do som together and so we seeded that young plant called 45StereoSounds.Based on that platform we try to bring on a fresh and concious reggae/hiphop style and use it also for new expiriences in music.
Later,some day,when I was up to meet a very good friend called Hajo"Bellyman"Beese-Bellyman actually producing the Macoras Sound-I met Macoras in the studio and after some discussion a clear
way coming up...I-SOUL-REGGAE-FAMILY...So we start up the thing in Februar 2006 with a party alongside Ganjaman.Give thanks for having possibility performing first dance with such an concious artist,bless up,steve,special thanks for special vibes....I-SOUL-REGGAE-FAMILY is aiming for good times inna di dance,like you have same thing inna family when you feel protected in between brothers and sisters.That vibe is creating strength and that is what we need in crucial times like these.We try to give you time to forget about your troubles and have just a good time,feel irie.Think with your heart,it's all about love,never forget!
