BajanDread

I was born in Brooklyn and raised between Barbados and New York. Specializing in reggae music, West Indian culture and the Rasta movement, I work with the Griotstarters to create awareness about the issues that face the African Diasporic community. Music is my first love and through it I find solace, joy, wisdom, comfort, and inspiration. I invite you to check out http://www.myspace.com/griotstarters and let me know if you hear anything that you like. Peace and Blessings."GriotStarters is a collaboration between three conscious DJs: DJ Hoodwink, Mellow.Drum.Addict, and Bajan Dread. Our commitment to our own success must also include a commitment to our culture. This project was started first and foremost from a love of music. We combine our celebration of the finest in all music, with critical thought spoken by scholars, activists, and thinkers and put that all in a 40-60 minute mix-tape for your listening pleasure. We give you a chance to reflect on what you have listened and urge you to ask critical questions. These critical questions and themes are often marginalized. We only ask you to do 3 things... Listen. Think. Act!"
