Elijah

He creates a fresh new sound: deep basses, kinky offbeats, a sweet rhythmical singjay voice and good caribbean vibes. It can easily make you forget that the upcoming singer Elijah was born and raised in Zurich, the Swiss reggae capital.
Since 2004 he brings together different european cultures, chanting in local Zurich-patois, Italian and English. About three years ago he hooked up with the backing band “The Dubby Conquerors” and they haven’t looked back ever since.

Capleton

King Shango, King David, The Fireman and The Prophet. A wise man once said that a prophet is not without honour save in his own country and so it has been with Capleton. While the veteran DJ's words and works long ago earned him the title of "The Prophet", the respect and honor that should rightfully be his have been a long time coming. "Anytime you try to uplift righteousness and upliftment of the people them, then you ah go get a fight", says the hottest entertainer in the worldwide reggae fraternity.
