He has recorded and released music on the top record labels including Marley's Tuff Gong / Ghetto Youths, VP Records/VPAL and Tad's Record Inc. As a musician who focuses primarily in the reggae genre, Iba's music is very much in the spirit of the reggae greats from Jacob Miller, to Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Dennis Brown and Damian Marley to name some.
PHIL WATKIS (Producer /Singer/Performer) was born in St. Ann Jamaica on January 20th. His love of music developed early on and has flourished into a career of positive vibrations, inspiring lyrics and upful beats. Watkis' music transcends all genres and he doesn't believe that he is defined by the specifics of any particular category; his strategy is to enchant his audience with the perfect package: entertainment, life experiences, and substance.
