DUBTONIC KRU …

Born to a place that is known for breeding and cultivating musicians, Deleon “Jubba” White originates from the South Central part of Jamaica. It was clear at a very young age that music ran through his veins, when he began singing and playing the drums on pots and pans around his home…

The founding members of Dubtonic Kru are Deleon “Jubba” White and Strickland “Stone” Stone, a dynamic Drum & Bass duo who, over the years have contributed to the development of modern roots reggae.

The Kru has gained about a decade and a half of experience from touring and or recording with the legendary likes of Max Romeo, U-Roy, Burning Spear, The Mighty Diamonds as well as modern day artistes such as Bushman, Junior Kelly, Richie Spice, Lutan Fyah and Voicemail to name a few…

One of the significant milestones in their careers was the
composition of the “I Swear” rhythm, a rhythm that took the Reggae arena by storm, which featured Chuck Fenda’s “i swear” and Richie Spice’s “marijuana pon di corner”.

The extention of the group now boasts additional members such as Luke on work stations,the unique voice of Kamau,while on percussions,Jallanzo on guitar and vocals and Craig on lead guitar.

Their songs and spoken words are consciously thought provoking,while their rhythm/dub section walks through the passage of time with a gritty sound that rolls stones and break fences.
