Stephen Souza's Video for Sounds Explosion!

One of the most popular riddims for a live band to beat, especially on a Festival or live stage show stage, is the Hi-Fashion Dub riddim originally produced by Studio One.  From the time the people hear the trumpeting sound of the horns, they know they’re about to get their money’s worth from the featured performer.

Stephen Souza is that featured performer!

Stephen’s introduction to the network comes by way of his debut single called “Sounds Explosion.”  Performed over the rebuilt Hi-Fashion Dub riddim, Stephen delivers these lyrics for an original chune:

Now Europe massive are you ready / Jamaica massive are you ready / New York / Say when I’m ready people hold on steady / as it’s jamming time / Reggae music playing all night long / take a tip this is Stephen Souza with a brand new chune / come fih nice up yuh avenue now / sounds explosion / people get ready for Dancehall and Rocksteady….  Kaboom!

Stephens’ voice is not too much, and not too little.  As a matter of fact (and because we’ve heard his catalog), we would say he is that voice which runs in the vein of Beres Hammond, Tinga Stewart and George Nooks.  With the quality productions Mr. Souza is working with, you’ll be hearing great material as the months go by.

Moving to the United States to pursue his degree, the Reggae stars vocal skills added to Danny Dreads song “Respect Due,” and stage performances were shared with Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Freddie McGregor, Beenie Man, Sean Paul and more.

This past week, Stephen performed for the Music Brings Life organization(the blood awareness organization based in New York) in an effort to increase awareness in the Black American, Latino and Caribbean communities in New York to give blood.  Of his performance and music career Stephen said “Every time I have the chance to perform I’m one step closer to achieving my dream, so to pursue my dream and help bring awareness to this great cause; I am doubly blessed!”
