About:
Music is often referred to as a universal language, however there are many dialects and few artists are able to freely express themselves in more than one. Young producer, dj, promoter, and engineer, Liondub is capable of inspiring new translations of cultural and concious music through the fusion of musical and modern beliefs. Striving to embrace as many styles and sounds as possible, Liondub’s seamless mixes and heavy productions feature a strong dose of reggae, dub and trip hop, as well as more divergent styles of contemporary dancehall, ragga jungle and hip hop.

Liondub grew up a native New Yorker, frequently travelling to Jamaica, exposing himself to the artistic movements of hip-hop and reggae soundsystems at a very young age. Fueled by the influences of DJ Red Alert, Chuck Chillout and jamaican sounds Jah Love, Stur Gav, Volcano and Downbeat, Liondub was inevitably inspired to take up the science of turntable mixing and the art of building rythms. Spinning records, he developed a single, distinctive voice that could speak many musical languages, and build cultural bridges. Now, that musical voice has matured and earned him worldwide acclaim. By steadily producing tracks and mixing, he is re-shaping the way many listen to reggae music.

Set to crafting original tracks that would build upon the spirit of his initial inspiration, Liondub hones his music and production skills by collaborating and performing with an impressive and wide variety of musical masters and superstars. All the while LionDub is sharpening his talents, and strengthening his ears through his work as a live sound, session, and mastering engineer.

DJing conscious reggae music, dancehall, hip-hop and jungle since 1991, Liondub is touring the US playing with groups and artists like Johnnie Osbourne,Terry Ganzie, The Wailers, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Sound Tribe Sector Nine, DJ Krush, Ras Kush of Black Redemption Sound, Israel Vibration, The UK Steppas, Smith and Mighty and Rob Paine of Worship Recordings.
More recently Liondub has worked alongside Fragga Ranks, King Dainjah, Sister Nancy, Steel Pulse, and a slew of jungle/drum and bass artists like RCola, Mad Dem Sound, Cassein, DonDaka, Jacky Murda, Tester of Trilogy Sound Crew and MC’s Navigator, Stada and Jinx.

Liondub represents numerous artists and dj’s within a comprehensive artist agency and is producing an impressive catalog of conscious music on an international level. Recent releases include Chopstick 07 featuring the late great Barry Brown, Dubwize 01 featuring Bass Nacho and LionDub 01 featuring a ragga remix of Richie Spice’s anthem Earth A Run Red. This fall, LionDub will unleash the White Shark Rhythm straight out of Jamaica featuring vocals by Johnnie Osbourne, Fragga Ranks, Sotto Bless, Terry Ganzie and many many more… Respects
