About Me


DUB DISTRICT is a musical mission set to activate, the mind, body, and soul, with a conscious voice and a revolutionary spirit for all people. Forming in the summer of 2006, This 5 piece collective strives to bring a familiar sound of roots, rock, reggae, & dub of the 1970's era in a new way, by seamlessly intertwining elements of dancehall, rocksteady, afro-beat, folk, blues, and jazz. Each member of DUB DISTRICT, brings their own flavor to this melting pot of roots music, all while sticking to the basic principles of reggae music. The lyrics reflect the Rastafarian lifestyle of lead vocalist & songwriter Ras Daniel, speaking of faith, unity, empowerment of the people, social injustice on a local & global level & everyday real-life situations. The music reinforces the vocals and lyrics, to bring a combination of sound yet to be heard in the world of reggae. Each performance is supplied with a positive vibe and backed by a solid groove, uplifting, leaving the audience feeling Irie, everytime. The music takes over and the people can't help but move their feet all through the night, to the beat of DUB DISTRICT, until the early morning light. Come along for the ride and let DUB DISTRICT take you on a roots journey through time! Live Up! Blessed Love!
