Dylan Judah formed 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 until now 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).

Dylan Judah's has had many 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

massive

promotional campaign, as well as L.A.'s area DJ's regularly spinning

their

favorite Dylan Judah and Cannons tunes (98.7 KPFK, 100.3 The Beat,

92.3 Hot

Jamz, etc.)



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.



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.).



In 2005 look for Dylan Judah and Sugar Blacks new collaborative album

entitled Black Judah on Judahs Mountain Paradise Records label, as

well

as a stack of new singles with more JA artists.



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.
