Primitive

About Me

Primitive and MC 7 - Reggae bom
Born in Jamaica, I was raised in London and have lived the life of a nomad for most of my life! My love of music and reggae have taken me to the four corners of the earth, and taught me to appreciate music in all its forms... My love of Jazz and Reggae has led me to create my own unique type of music called "Rasta Jazz", or "Razz" for short!
I started recording in the mid seventies in Toronto, Canada, and have done work and shows in Japan, England, New York, as well as Brasil and Sweden - where I am concentrating at the moment. I have enjoyed playing at Carnaval in Salvador, Bahia (Brasil) 4 times, and have toured throughout most of the country either alone or with other popular bands such as:
Clinton Fearon from the Gladiators
Black Uhuru
Andrew Tosh
Africa Bambata
And many others...
My greatest love and passion is being able to share my music with my friends and extended family and my wish is that everyone that listens to it enjoys it and gets something from it, much like I did with those that influenced me...
I am currently working on a new project which includes some new songs, as well as some hip-hop reggae in the near future, so stay tuned!!
Blessings and peace to all who I may touch in this world...
One love,
Primitive

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 19/08/2007
Influences: My influences come from all types of music I have heard all over the world. I always try to take the best of what I hear and translate it into something more personal... my feelings of what that music meant to me.

Of course, my main inspiration still comes from most of the legends: Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Sam Cook, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and the Beatles - but a few have had personal influence in my life, such as Miles Davis.
Sounds Like: I like to think that my music sounds like NOTHING you have ever heard before... the soothing sounds of Jazz mixed with the Rythm and Flow and Heart of Reggae creates the blend of what I call "Rasta Jazz"!!

I will let you decide in your heart what moves you, and what the sounds mean to you...
