JUBBA

Born to a place that is known for breeding and cultivating musicians, "Jubba" 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 on pots and pans around his home. By the time "Jubba" finished high school he was already performing on professional stages and taking every opportunity to play music. After high school, he made a move to solidify his career as a musician by enrolling in the Edna Manley College of Visual & Performing Arts.
Coming from different parts of Jamaica, the members of Dubtonic Kru, individually have been exposed to a variety of musical genres over the years.
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 with their unique sound and approach that intertwines Jubba's mesmorizing Reggae/Jazz Fusion drumming with Stone's groovy,
yet pulsating bass lines. 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" to name a few.
The Kru became a more complete music machine with the addition of longtime friend and versatile guitarist Jallanzo, who also added his strong vocal ability as well a young and very talented Luke Dixon on work stations.
Another turning point of the group's dynamic came with the addition of very unique and powerful singer to round out the already electrifying dub compositions with some-
times spoken words by Jubba. Kamau, "the Quiet Warrior", who already has one album and two popular singles to his credit "Sight a Revolution" and "Goodbye Babe" under the Island Treasure label, brings a revolutionary voice to the Kru. 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 breaks fences.
This past summer, 2009, Dubtonic Kru once again stepped out on European soil, The Kru
bonded with audiences through remarkable performances and further solidified their place in the Music Industry.
Dubtonic Kru is dedicated to raising the bar and keeping it interestingly spontaneous.
Stay tuned!
