ZUKIE JOSEPH
Greetings, I Babylon name was Junior Allen, but I have evolved since: my name is Zukie Joseph. My love for muzic started before I can remember, but what I do remember is my parents...They played Grace Thrillers, ABBA, Tom Jones, The Coasters, Platters, Blue Busters, Toots and The Maytals, The Wailers, Charlie Pride, Elvis, and The Beatles, to name a few...
I always knew I wanted to be a singer, but I was sluggish in my effort until I saw The Crown Prince of Reggae, Dennis Emmanuel Brown, live in concert.
I was mesmerized by the young Prince's magnificent delivery--the sweetest voice I have ever heard. I started writing and singing the next day...
Years later I met Dennis and we became brethrens...

STEELE
Today, Steele has made his mark on the music industry and although most people recognize him as a singer, Steele is also an accomplished musician, songwriter, and producer who has earned a reputation as a perfectionist with his professional approach to his music. In 2004 Steele released his first full
length solo CD/Album “Uncorrupted” and the world stood up to take note of this
lyrically conscious brother. To date, Steele has been blessed with the
achievements this album has attained. Tracks from “Uncorrupted” hit many charts
globally and in Canada the cd was showered with many accolades which included
Canada’s highest musical award, a Juno nomination for Reggae Recording of the
Year.
It is now only fitting that three years later
Steele is dropping his sophomore cd entitled “The Love of Jah” and the critics
are hailing this as his finest work to date.

As a youngster, music was always apart of my life. I used to listen to artist such as Pinchers, Diana Ross and so on, on the weekends with my father as a child, but never took it at interest at the time. I used to be involved in drawing and graphics arts as a child persuing to be an artist in artwork and to do cartoons. Later on, I passed that phase when going into high school. In 2000, I used to write music as a hobbie, but became so fascinated about it, I had to persue it as a career. In my earlier days of my writing skills, I made my sister listen to my songs of crack joking rhymes, she said I should quote"go back to drawing" which made me not discouraged, but made me write better and up to today,now she loves all my songs and hopes that my dreams come true. In 2004, I met a Jamaican producer who's been in the business for 30 odd years,and told me I was ready to burst into the scene of dancehall.
