BIOGRAPHY The I, Partillo - drummer, dj and producer - have been playing music for as long as I can remember.
I started out with what I came over, toy synths, old pianos, drums, oldschool computer tracker programs etc.
As a teenager I fell in love with reggae music and the culture. Since then Ive never done anything else but reggae, musically...
Professionally, I started out playing drums for the ska/rocksteady band USCB Allstars wich led to different side projects such as Gusto. From the age of 18 I started promoting and arranging clubs and shows as a dj-selector/promoter together with Tippa (aka Tipa Zip) and Jr Eric. So from the late 90s weve been running tings in Gothenburg. During that time we needed a backingband to back up all them artists on our shows, thats how Roots Disciples was born. For a long time we were the only band you could find backing up the artists properly.
From Roots Disciples we founded a new band with the soul artist Jaqee. We played with her for several years and promoted her first album.
Nowadays you can find me playing for some national and international acts with the new backingband Veteranians, also on the drums with Roots Disciples backing them swedish top a top artists, you can also catch me selecting some tunez on clubs here and there, but first and foremost you find me in the studio producing riddims and beats.
