RAVON STEELY RHODEN

Ravon Steely Rhoden has established himself as one of the most innovative musicians and vocalists in modern reggae. Born and raised in Montego Bay, Jamaica, his music pays tribute to legends like Bob Marley and Dennis Brown while pushing the genre into bold new territory performing his own songs as well. He is the first recording artist to accompany his vocals on the steel drum, an instrument which gives him his signature sound. He is also the founder of Steely Records, His record label, which provides a wide variety of services for like minded artists. With a steady stream of new content expected this year and beyond, Ravon Steely Rhoden is poised to become one of the biggest names in reggae.
