Based between Britain and Brazil. Geoffrey is an artist who is acclaimed in his then adopted home of Bahia, in a roots, reggae and rock style. His independently released debut on his own label Dread in Brasil “By me” is being hailed as a benchmark album in Latin America.

“By me” was recorded at WR Studios in Salvador 2009 and mastered at Tuff Gong in Jamaica. The album is full of hooks and melody all sewn together with great harmony, positivity, lyricism and arrangements, presented by the powerful voice of Geoffrey Chambers that reminds us of the golden age of reggae from the 70’s.

Spreading by word of mouth Geoffrey drew a crowd of 35,000 as the headline act of the Eco surf festival in Salvador in 2010. His “What’s my name” tour took him across Brazil from Rio to Sao Paolo, Macior, Belem and Bahia. Headlining with world renowned artists like Ziggy and Julian Marley, Seu Jorge, Don Carlos, the late Gregory Isaacs, Soja and Groundation, plus Brazillian stalwarts Natiruts and Ponto do Equilibrium. His band Dread in Brasil has developed into an all-star line up of Bahias finest. Geoffrey’s live performances have drawn fans from the favelas and beyond his genre of Reggae to the mainstream international performers and stars like Olodum, Luis Caldas, Carlinhos Brown and Banda Eva.

In 2011 he created history with the launch of “Espresso Reggae” his own Trio eletrico in the Salvador Carnaval and daily audiences of up to 1,000,000 people on the streets of Salvador. Geoffrey’s Trio was shown Nationally and Internationally to television audiences of over 200,000,000 where he performed with Olodum, Luis Caldas teen superstars Restart, and participated on the historic return of the “meeting of the trios” with Banda Eva. 

Geoffrey is currently demoing his sophomore album and the first single “No matter what the cost” featuring the inventor of Axé (the most popular Brazilian style) Luis Caldas is a cover of the Roberto Carlos 70’s hit “Custe o que custar”. A fusion of Reggae Samba and Axé the track captures the spirit of Bahia. Geoffrey is also writing for the new Olodum and Banda Eva albums.
