The Male voiceName: Reg (a.k.a. Ragga) Born: St Vincent, West indies Date: 20-05-65 At the age of 17 Reg started off as being a vocalist. He did not play any other instrument unless you consider the mucking around with keys. The greatest influences came from King Yellow man and Jack Radicks. He gained experience by performing a lot. The other styles of interest for Reg are soca music and rock. For Reg music definitely stands on the top of the list in his life .
The GuitarName: Eduardo (a.k.a. Groove Born Eddie Electric) Born: Santiago, Chile Date: 08-08-68 Eduardo, raised in the south of the netherlands, Eindhoven, started playing guitar at the age of 14 and hasn't stop ever since. First he did a lot of homestudy regarding chords structures and progressions but when he met the chilean guitarist/singer Victor Flores he got himself a teacher to teach him what to do with all those chords and tones. About a year later he met Humberto(Hubert) A professional Jazz/latin percussionist/drummer living in Eindhoven and from him he learned about rhythem. Eddie says: "That man was a master in rhythems and although he didn't know about tones he teached how to deal with grooves and rhythems"" From the beginning Eddie was developping his own style of playing the guitar. Nowadays he has a unique style and like our drummer Jo-Jo he has travelled a long way in music industry. He has played many music styles like rock, crossover punk, funk, reggae, latin and not to forget Irish folk music with Micheal Marks but also experimental live music for theater 'Het Klein'. He has a unique style of playing and joined us for the fun of making music that makes people happy (besides doctors advise, some people just can't stop making music. :D.

Bobbie Joel was born on the 14th of October in The Netherlands. As baby he always fell asleep in front of the speakers, but only Reggea Music could make this baby fall asleep. At the age of five he learnt some base chords on the keyboard from his uncle. Bob start playing with others while in a Jam-session a Reggea Jam-session. He also joined a Reggea Band when he was almost twenty, but they wouldn..t give eachother enough space to breath, so Bob left the band when he noticed that. Cause he needed his Space just like everybody else, so he gave them three weeks before he left. After that Bob started to make music on his own. these days Bob still sing and produce his music (mixture of Reggea and Hip-Hop) on his computer. In April 2007 Bob finally got into a Reggea band sprinkled with some Rock and Hip-Hop on top. Yes!!! It's the band: MOPION! So finally Bob plays in a band where the give eachother enough space to breath. More about MOPION you can check out on www.mopionradio.com MOPION...

Guest artistName: Patricia (a.k.a. Thrisha) Born: Vierhouten, The Netherlands Date: 12-03-63 At the age of 6 Patricia started playing flute and with that was introduced to all kinds of music. Later on she began to sing. She played no other instruments. Several motown artists primarily influenced Patricia, such Marvin Gaye and Otis Redding, as well as several reggae artists, which of course include the one and only Bob Marley. She started of as a songwriter and singer in local reggae bands at an early age and this way she reached the level to where she is today. The other styles that got her interest are old-school rock, like the Rolling Stones, U2, Simple Minds and punk rock. For Patricia music stands right beside her.
