Dylan Judah

Dylan Judah helped to form Cannons, (1997-2003), one of the West Coast's
most skillful and heartfelt reggae bands. Non-stop club and festival
performances from back in 1997 up to today and tomorrow have been the
platform for Dylan Judah to sing his songs from Cannons' first two
independently produced cd's: THANKS & PRAISE (1999) & LIFE-ELEMENTS-VISION
(2002), and most recently from his debut album DYLAN-JUDAH (2004).
2003 was Dylan Judah's & Cannons most exciting year in-terms of high
profile performances (Bob Marley Day in the Long Beach Arena, UCLA Reggae
Festival, The Keyclub, House of Blues, etc.) Performing at Los Angeles' most
prestigious events every month of 2003 was the key to Dylan Judah's and
Cannons' massive promotional campaign, as well as L.A.'s area DJ's
regularly spinning their favorite Cannons tunes (98.7 KPFK, 100.3 The Beat,
92.3 Hot Jamz, etc.) and the LA Weekly running the group's photo week to
week. <P>
Dylan Judah, who is a prolific singer, song-writer and producer began his
musical career as a young drummer, driving the rhythm of his teenage ska
band Caught in the Act (C.I.A.), 1988-1992. During those formative years
Dylan traveled to apartheid-era South Africa, and Jamaica on several
occasions. From these most influential and eye-opening experiences, Dylan
emerged as an impassioned singer, rooted in the Rasta-life, and committed to
bridging the gap between 1st & 3rd worlds, rich and poor, nation and nation,
-ism & skism. Listen to Dylan Judah's messages and you will find words on
encouragement, upliftment through UNITY, LOVE, TRUTH & RIGHTS, and much
more. <P>
In 2004 Dylan-Judah is presenting the world with his self-entitled, debut
release. This album is produced by Dylan, engineered and dubbed by the
world renown Hopeton Brown a.k.a. "SCIENTIST" and performed by many members
of Cannons with the great addition of legendary drummer Carlton "Santa"
Davis (drummer with Peter Tosh, Ziggy Marley, etc.).
Dylan Judah has shared the stage with Run-DMC, Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff,
Shaggy, Sean Paul, Third World, Pato Banton, Don Carlos, Buju Banton, Damian
Marley, Long Beach Dub All-stars, Sugar Black, and many more.
