About Me

Colonel Red is a genuine true soul artist of our time.With his distinctive sultry voice as his main instrument, Redz sings, produces, writes, and plays telling a truthful story with compelling melodies and deep haunting rhythms. The back catalogue of Colonel Red releases is already staggering but only hints at what’s to come from this rare, refined yet raw musical talent.“i call it "spoetry" simply words spoken so sublime this is where i leave all false beliefs bout self behind..& say a prayer 2 the lovin kind...that will rise.. high above our heavenly bodies 2 instrument & pay hommage.. while the sun pierces the clouds.. casting shadows.. on all that is positive... still i try & try & try again.. 2 break every chain that exists 2 take our scent from an all inspiring search 4 truth.. that is our rightful expression through me & you now rivers of thought.. pause then clause.. takin out all the unwanted laws that bore holes in the shores at dawn..” , Colonel RedRedz hasn’t stopped performing, travelling, recording and writing since dropping his debut album “Blue Eye Blak” in 2005. His powerful live performances have captivated audiences throughout Europe’s clubs, venues and festivals..
