BuzzRock

The band, BuzzRock, is a high energy reggae band hailing from the twin isle of Trinidad and Tobago and is one of the few Trinbagonian bands that perform strictly original content. The name BuzzRock represents the pulse of the earth or the vibration of the people, hence the name Buzz (vibration) and rock (the Earth). BuzzRock's performances have been known to mesmerize reggae lovers and non reggae listeners alike, with a mix of a mystical stage show and the raw emotion and passion each member puts into the music.

The band has just released its first album entitled 'Universal Blacks' which is creating waves in Trinidad and Tobago. The album was fully produced by BuzzRock and mastered at Tuff Gong Studios, Jamaica. A number of independent record labels have taken interest in the project and plans are underway to secure international distribution.

The band consists of ten (10) core members; Haile-Sion Sam (Drums) , Roger 'Ikumiah' Henry (keyboards), Sadiki Niamke Philips ( Rhythm, Lead Vocals, Backup Vocals), Justin ' Inem Seti' Samuel (Lead Vocals, Backup Vocals) , Rodney 'Yahrod' Rique (Lead Vocals , Backup Vocals), Sistah Efa Henry (Lead Vocals, Backup Vocals), Lamar ' Beebo' Pollard (Bass) , Yohannis (Percussions), Asim Ankoma Pottinger (Kete Drums) and Erik ‘Beng’ Cielto (Manager/Technical Support). BuzzRock is often considered a family band as most of the members have known each other for a number of years through the pursuit of musical and spiritual knowledge. When put on a stage together, what ensues can only be described as mind blowing.

BuzzRock’s current plan is to do as many performances to as many new audiences as possible in an effort to promote their current album ‘Universal Blacks’ and continue their work in spreading the words and teachings of His Imperial Majesty, Selassie I. The band is also preparing new material for another album slated for release at the end of August 2011 which will also be distributed world wide.
