Dread Lion came into this iration fe bring reggae to the nation ,and just like bob marley say about rasta "what is what is from beginning to end so me a rasta from creation" and that selassophy is also applicable to dread with rasta and also reggae music. since a youth he had a passion for the kings music when his father,bernard walker, would play countless jams in the grannyflat at their yard so from a youth his knowledge of reggae at its deepest roots was obtained upto this current day where he is working hard in the linwood view studio fe bring reggae fe the nation and pushing to put australia on the map with reggae. the first band ready fe wrestle the lion was sydney reggae band Jamalia who themself had already supported the wailers and an all star cast line up with dubwise martin fabok, founding member of the allniters, australians first and formost ska band, who was to become a partner in dub with dread constantly pushing the envelope in a rubadub stylee.the bass that moved your waist was controlled by sistren caroline thompson and then not fe forget in the least Danny Rankin, breddin hailing from st. catherine in JA, bringing his dennis brown style singing with a chatting style matched by none down under to add the the final piece of the important motto WORD SOUND AND POWER seen?.Dread lion worked with THIS VERSION recently. in which he mashed it up pon the traps playin covers and a few originals and also martin and dreads father bernard "grizzly" walker amongst other musicians dedicated fe the reggae cause on a project called REPUBLIC IN DUB, in this lineup preferring to bring the bass to make u move up your waist, which took people by storm at the peats ridge music festival of 2006 and had put together and collection of dubplates which sound as if them come straight from the yard plenty of which are now in the works of being produced with sydneys premier conscious messengers who bring forth Jah work itinually in this time and also the almighty fathers constant guidance, his ability of composing riddims has been sharpened by his need fe play all the instruments pon his riddims and currently is recording a select few at home on a 16 track digital workstation which will be ready and dreadly fe awaiting deejays to lick his bill of righteousnes pon theses riddims so any bredren or sistren who find these riddims inspiring for a chant let i know and i and i reason from there but this is where the sample tracks that dread lion has recorded in his own lounge room PURE ROOTS STYLE WITHOUT PROTOOLS OR LIKEWISE COMPUTER EDITING SUITES will take over the story and mash up the exstablishment ..
