About Me
The thirst is always on for a sizzling live stage show band and artist. There is never a long and hard look in the Caribbean with one of the livest bands, Strategy the Band locking down the urban market. Since its inception the band has grown from strength to strength with award nominations and touring dates and performances throughout 2006 and early 2007 with headline superstar acts and personalities.
In November 2005 determined to satisfy the needs of a market thirsting for quality live entertainment from a versatile band catering to the appetites of both the native West Indian crowd and the World at large, Strategy the Band was formed. Encompassing the genres of hip hop, R&B, Soca, Alternative, Dancehall and Reggae, and with a "new releases" to "back in time" range, the "strategy" is quite simply - to transcend the traditional audience segmentation, which has been to the detriment of so many Caribbean bands. Strategy's repertoire includes both contemporary covers and hot originals penned by the band's members, Tejay and Kirk Brown.
Running like hot molten lava and mere months after their inception, Strategy the band became a regular fixture on the nightclub scene in their homeland, Barbados and have erupted onto the Caribbean scene with touring and performances in England, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Trinidad and Jamaica subscribing to their theory that the world is its oyster. Recognized for their undeniable talent and professionalism, Strategy the band has backed and shared the stage with varied super star acts including Fat Joe, Dru Hill, Julissa Bermudez of BET 106 & Park and platinum R&B sensation Ne-Yo.
2006 proved to be a big year for the band with award nominations, touring and the release of their original musical recordings.
In January 2006 the band was nominated for Band of the Year at the Barbados Music Awards, an event held under the patronage of Barbados' Prime Minister, and featuring major headliners including Rihanna, Alison Hinds, Rupee, and Krosfyah. Later that year, they were a featured act at the Brooklyn Fashion Weekend, which was attended by A-list stars in the world of music, film and fashion, and major international media including MTV and BET among many others. The band also completed a successful UK promotional tour which spanned clubs from London to Leeds Carnival in the North, an experience that afforded the band a presence in the British market, opening doors for the band to return in the near future. Determined to build and maintain momentum, the 'strategy' soon changed, with the emphasis on the solo recording careers of the lead duo Tejay and Kirk Brown still backed by the live band Strategy , signaling the release of individual singles by the artist.

Most recently, the band shared the stage alongside Sean Paul and Maxi Priest for an energetic high calibre performance at the Digicel Reggae Festival, where they throughly rocked thousands of fans
Stay tuned, for the ascension has just begun!
