Artist History
Raised in England, Bam Bam (Princess Bam Bam) grew up with the
knowledge that she was descended from 'royalty' ( 'Mad King
John'- the infamous creator of the Magna Carter - according to her
grandmother!) --- But he was a villain and Bam Bam felt she had to
change the family image by championing the cause of the underdog....As
she embarked on her own unique adventure into music she did so
believing that she was, in some way, going to affect the world in a
momentous and positive way....Shee
studied
oil painting at Goldsmith's College in London where she thrived on
England's historical vibes and ancient mythology. She
soon discovered her true musical roots in the smoky caverns of London's
underground Ska and
Reggae culture clubs. Recognizing the significance of Reggae music, she
started to write songs and hang out with Jamaican musicians. One of
whom was Jon Cornelius of Raskidus
Roots Connection. They worked together promoting Reggae shows and
recording original material. Soon she had recorded enough material to
release her first CD entitled: "Words of the Prophets" ....She coined
the expression "Pop Reggae", descriptive of her upbeat, 'rootsy' English style. Her songs
carry strong, positive messages buoyed along by da
rockin'
Reggae riddums...Give
thanks and praises to the Almighty JAH!...Rastafari
