Monster March for Stephen Souza on the East Coast!




The Reggae Gentlemen, Stephen Souza will have a Monster March as the artist will hit the studio to record new material, and will perform in Miami and New York.

Currently enjoying strong radio and fan support from radio stations as far away as South Africa and as close to home as New Jersey, Stephen, as well as his signature Lover’s Rock sound, is increasing in traction.  This increase has led to more demand for music as well as stage show appearances.

On Saturday March 2nd, Stephen will be in Miami, Florida for the Manchester High School Alumni Association reunion taking place at the Hollywood Central Performing Arts Center (1770 Monroe Street – 33020).  This performance is extra special to Stephen as the reunion is being held in honor of Kirk ‘Freddie’ Barrow as well as being a fundraiser for the MHS Penn Relay Team.  The event, sponsored in part by Grace Kennedy Foods and MC’d by Gerry McD from Palav (RJR 94 FM in Jamaica) is attended by distinguished guests in South Florida in addition to MHS alumni.

Of this performance Stephen says “I’m really excited for this show as Paul and Patrick Roach in addition to being my childhood friends, they were the ones who encouraged me to join Phase II Band.  We haven’t performed together in more than 30 years, so I can’t wait!”

March 9th, Stephen returns to New York to perform at New York University for Maxine Greaves annual Winter Affair at the Rochdale Village Community Centre (169-65 137th Avenue – Jamaica, New York – 11434) which is one of the most attended events on New York’s Caribbean Dancehall calendar.

In addition to the above performances, Stephen will be in studio recording new material to be released as singles.

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.
