Ifficial
Reggae
Movement
The Ifficial Reggae
Movement is a stand out musical group.
With their explosive style and mesmerizing “riddims” it’s no wonder the band
members always sport a smile on stage as they jump around. Ifficial
has been a much-welcomed addition to the Chicago Reggae scene with many
taking notice. For the last few years, Ifficial has been rocking shows
all over the Midwest while creating new and original music. Each of
the band’s members brings years of experience together to create this
extremely energetic sound. Ifficial Reggae Movement plays a diverse
style of reggae that encompasses roots, lover's rock and dancehall.
Look for their highly anticipated CD to be released early 2011.
Livingston
(Lead Vocals) has been surrounded by singers his entire life. As a child,
his mother and father sang in churches all over his native island of
Jamaica. The Montego Bay born vocalist and songwriter has a very
unique and impressive style that displays the smoothness of roots and
lover’s rock, and the roughness of dancehall. Influenced by artists
such as Jr. Kelly, Sanchez, Capleton, and of course Bob Marley, Livingston’s
goal each performance is to electrify audiences, keeping them wanting more.
Darryl
(Bass) has been on the Reggae scene in Chicago for twenty years. He
has played with some of the best in Reggae, including Frankie Paul, Nardo
Ranks, Marcia Griffiths, and the legendary Dennis Brown. His
entrancing bass lines are bound to reel you in and have you at the band’s
mercy. Darryl a.k.a. Organized
is also a dynamic singer and deejay that you won’t want to miss. Salla
(Keyboards) has been a fixture on the reggae scene since the 1980's when he
was then playing the drums. Salla, a Jamaican native, also played keys for
the legendary group Waterhouse. He brings his spirit to Ifficial to create
an additional musical consciousness.
Paul
(drums) has been on
the reggae scene for twenty years and was also a member of the group
Waterhouse. He is also an experienced percussionist and specializes in
African beats. His enthusiasm and steady pulses will keep you captivated. Vinnie
(guitar) is one of the most versatile performers you will ever see.
Jamaican born, he plays all genres of music and from time to time will
incorporate them into the reggae shows. It will blow your mind!
Vinnie’s silky smooth and effortless style will take you away and just when
you are drifting off his electricity will bring you back.
