Band Members: 2004. The 28 of august. A young West Indian decided to be a soca artist. That was in london and more exactly at the nothing hill carnival. . Before that day, D.U.B., who was named firstly WiddyFive, wasnt so mad about the soca. He beginning singing with his friend SpringFallowhawk (he changed it since now you can call him Extasy, and its easier) and Shake in 2003 and they was called the NightRiders, a French hip-hop crew with a US hip-hop style. But in 2003, at a holiday in Guadeloupe, the birth island of D.U.B., he heard a music and more particularly a riddim that he say today for me its the maddan riddim I heard after FloodStorm riddm. That was Man Dragon on Dougla riddim. It was like a crush, and he begun discover this culture and all his artists. Bunji Garlin, Maximus Dan, Denise Belfon, Machel Montado they will be his examples. But it wasnt enough for him for know the power of the soca.. In Nothing Hill he saw, listen and live the soca in the carnival that he call today his place of pilgrimage. Too mad. Thats the only words he can say to explain for other people what is the Nothing Hill carnival. And after he understood that is more than a simple music for him, but a love. Each soca song of him is a way for thanking the Caribbeans English islands for the soca.. At his return he formed the Spin Off Squad with Onfaya J..Storma and Extasy and one year later add J-Laya the young brother of OnFaya and TiPagna his own brother. They keep their publics hot with dancehall, grime and soca music. Actually they work with Ego6, a team of producer with whom they do shows and recording a first album in independent. but in 2007, his second artistic activity take him far away the music. thinking that it was better to rebuilt himself form the start, he decided to be alone for that. Also his image, his personnality and his projects wasn't no more suitable with the crew's style. . Using the West Indian creole, French and English In his songs, he really want to be recognize like a real soca artist by the Caribbean people and make discover the soca for everybody who dont know it power. With years, he decided to be an artist with no limit, testing his skill on many other music style.
