Description

REGGADICTION

Hailing from Toronto, Ontario, the 10-piece reggae band Reggaddiction came together in 2019, channeling their passion for reggae music into a distinctive sound that seamlessly fuses the spirit of Jamaica with Canadian sensibilities. Fronted by the charismatic male and female lead vocalists D.M., songtress Trish Campbell, and Sunray Grennan the son of the famous Jamaican drummer Winston Grennan, known for his studio one performances with Bob Marley and the Wailers as well as the creator of the One Drop reggae rhythm in the
late ’60s. Reggaddiction’s music transports audiences to a sun-soaked paradise, while also tackling thought-provoking themes.

 

For Reggaddiction’s debut 2023 album, titled “Ganja Harvest” the group embarked on a sonic adventure, that international radio as labeled “A match made in Rasta Heaven” ~ 104.7FM (Australia). Songs from the album have also been featured on Canadian radio including CBC. In this reggae remix album, Reggaddiction has skillfully woven the threads of Neil Young’s timeless masterpiece, ‘Harvest,’ into the rich tapestry of reggae rhythms. Immersing the listener in the evolution of sound while transporting them to a realm where classic rock harmoniously dances with the laid-back grooves of reggae. From the iconic resonance of ‘Heart of Gold’ to the poetic allure of ‘Old Man,’ each track has been meticulously reimagined to create a seamless blend of familiarity and innovation. “Ganja Harvest” is more than an album; it’s a bridge between eras, a celebration of musical ingenuity, and a testament to the boundless possibilities of artistic collaboration.

 

Reggaddiction’s live energetic performances are infused with the positive vibes of Ska and reggae culture. The band strives for a deep connection with their audience while showcasing their ability to create an atmosphere of unity and togetherness, embodying the theme of ONE LOVE.
