About Me

Hey! I'm the bass player for NYC-based ska and reggae band Bigger Thomas. I love reggae, ska, dancehall, calypso and all sorts of dance and electronic music (breakbeat, big beat, jungle) as well as 80's new wave. I've been experimenting and writing my own songs that are influenced by DJs and producers like Fatboy Slim, Thievery Corporation and others. I want to make head bobbing, grooving and danceable music that just may make you think. Take a listen and let me know what you think.

My Interests

Member Since: 09/05/2006
Band Website: http://www.biggerthomas.com/
Band Members: Right now just me and my Mac iBook G4. In the future I want to collaborate with any reggae singers/chatters and other vocalists to create some great reggae inspired, upbeat electronic dance music.
Influences: Reggae (60's and 70's reggae, Black Uhuru, Steel Pulse, UB40), 2-Tone Ska (English Beat, The Specials), The Clash and Joe Strummer, 80's new wave like Joy Division/New Order, 80's synth acts like Kraftwerk, early 80's rap/hip hop like Afrika Bambaataa and the Soul Sonic Force (Planet Rock). the producer Arthur Baker and current electronica, big beat, and jungle acts like Gorillaz, Fatboy Slim, Basement Jaxx, Zero 7, Thievery Corporation and some hip hop like the Jungle Brothers, De La Soul and BDP.
Sounds Like: The bastard child of Lee Perry + Fatboy Slim + Arthur Baker + 80's Hip Hop + 80's New Wave + 60's and 70's rocksteady and reggae and a dose of 2 Tone Ska for good measure.
Record Label: Exclamation Point Records
