About Me

...or click on iTunes logo to download "Let’s Get Away!!"
Surfer/Song Writer/Soul Seeker, Colin Giles has worked and performed, singing back-up vocals, for some of Reggae music’s hugest icons from Jamaica including: Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Derrick Morgan, The Maytones, and Stranger Cole. He has taken a new turn is his musical journey by independently releasing his debut solo album. It’s an acoustic, stripped down, soul induced blend of hypnotic guitar rhythms and sweet vocal melodies. Music in its most simple and raw form, a man and his guitar. He is currently working to put out a NEW record in 2008. Colin is heavily influenced by American Soul and late 1960’s Jamaican music. It’s Plain, it’s simple, it’s raw, it’s real. COLIN IS AVAILABLE FOR SESSION WORK.
This is Pizza! Pizza loves to chill out while listening to her new CD. In fact, she digs it so much that she can’t help but eat it!
