The Band performed all around Italy in shows such as “Rototom Sunsplash” in 2005, “Arezzo Wave Love Festival” in 2006, “GoaBoa Festival” in 2007, and shared the stage with artistes like Giuliano Palma & The Bluebeaters, Sinhead O’ Connor, Black Uhuru, Junior Kelly, David Rodigan, Bitty Mclean, Toots and the Maytals, Cocoa Tea, Turbulence, Gappy Ranks and the late “King of Ska” Desmond Dekker.
Troy Stephen Born in KingstonJamaica, , his love for music first manifested as a soloist in church. Stephen’s foray into the realm of recorded music began with the single “Ruffer Than Ruff” recorded for the Telecom Label. The song was distributed by Dynamic Sounds and Stephen’s performed under the stage name ‘Trojan’.
