Foresta's debut EP will be released on the 28th of February 2014 and will be available as a free download on  Soundcloud and Bandcamp. Since the release of the „Youth Riddim“, Foresta has been working on his own productions, some of which have been released on the albums of various artists over the past couple of years. This time around, he has not entirely distanced himself from a Reggae sound, but rather has found a way to combine it with Soul, Hiphop and jazzy elements. His instruments of choice are rhodes and piano. A number of musical guests graced his home studio where the programmed beats were enhanced with live instruments.  

We now present to you six exclusive songs that will give you an insight into the producer's musical creativity. Foresta, the youngest member of the Urban Tree family, spent the last four months locked up in his home studio to finish his long awaited EP on time for the release date. A number of videos and small activities surrounding the EP are still to come. 

The EP features a  fusion of Hiphop and beats combining Soul, Jazz, Reggae, Dub and Pop. The vocals to be heard here are from artists that hail from precisely these genres, artists that he has met somewhere along on his musical journey through the years or that made it into his humble home studio.   

For his EP Foresta had the pleasure of working with two of the most successful and promising artists in the Jamaican Reggae scene: Kabaka Pyramid and Protoje; Berge belong to the pick of what the German Pop scene has to offer, Foresta's label colleague Simon Grohé  is currently working on his own release „Mamaoerf“; Danny Ranks and Longfingah have both belonged to the German and Austrian Reggae and Dancehall underground scene for decades and have shared their music with crowds on both small and large stages all across Europe; with Benjie - another Urban Tree colleague - he has a veteran of the German dancehall scene on board; Jaqee from Rootdown Records shares her music with her fanbase from Denmark to Germany to France and Uganda.

Sizzla Kalonji, or simply Sizzla (was born Miguel Orlando Collins, April 17, 1976, Kingston, Jamaica) is one of the most commercially and critically successful contemporary reggae artists and is well-known for his above-average prolificacy.

Sizzla was born in Kingston in 1976 to devout Rastafari movement parents. Like them Sizzla subscribes to the Bobo Ashanti branch of the Rastafari movement. He was raised in August Town, Kingston Jamaica where he studied mechanical engineering at Dunoon High School.

The 1980s witnessed a dancehall explosion, and with the music came the lifestyle: drugs, guns, and "slackness" (vulgarity). Formally adopting the Rastafari faith, with its advocacy of repatriation to Africa, he joined the ranks of the Bobo Ashanti in the mid-1990s.

Sizzla began to develop his own style whilst serving his musical apprenticeship with the Caveman Hi-Fi sound system. He has used his music as a vehicle for his message, kickstarting his recording career in 1995 with a release through the Zagalou label, he then teamed up with "Bobby Digital" Dixon for a series of singles. Extensive touring with fellow roots and culture artist Luciano followed, earning Sizzla notability. 
Homer Harris, the same man who named and mentored Buju Banton got him his first break, introduced Sizzla to top Jamaican saxophonist Dean Fraser, the musical director for Philip "Fatis" Burrell's Xterminator Family. 1996 marked an important turning point for Sizzla when he began working with Fatis. This union led to a run of successful singles and the release of Sizzla's debut album, Burning Up. 
The two allied again a year later with the follow-up, Praise Ye Jah (JetStar). Praise Ye Jah was quickly trumped by his release of the Dixon-produced Black Woman &amp; Child that same year. The title track was a smash hit and became something of a cultural reggae anthem. Sizzla scored several more hits during 1997, including "Like Mountain," "Babylon Cowboy," "Kings of the Earth," and the Luciano duet "Build a Better World." This hot streak kicked off an enormously productive recording binge that lasted over the next several years, with much of his output still done for Burrell.

Along with universal praise came Sizzla's first nomination for Best International Reggae Artist of the Year at the 1998 MOBO Awards and a place in various magazines' top 100 albums of the year. Sizzla has since released several dozen albums, including 1998's Kalonji and Royal Son of Ethiopia from 1999. 1999 also saw him receive his second MOBO nomination. Sizzla remains a constant presence in the reggae charts worldwide. Currently, Sizzla has 21 albums that have made it onto the Billboard's Top Reggae Albums music chart, the highest Words of Truth, reaching the peak position of #5.

Sizzla Kalonji has released over 45 solo albums and over fifteen combination albums, crossing different genres of Reggae. He has started his own record company, Kalonji Records; which in a joint venture with Damon Dash Music Group and Koch Records, released the album, The Overstanding, in November 2006. This was his third album released through Kalonji Records; as well as Black History and Life.

Sizzla, along with reggae recording artists such as Capleton, Buju Banton, and Anthony B, are credited with leading a movement toward a re-embracement of Rastafarian values in contemporary reggae music by recording material which is concerned primarily with spirituality and social consciousness, explores common themes, such as Babylon's corrupting influence, the disenfranchisement of ghetto youth, oppression of the black nation and Sizzla's abiding faith in Jah and resistance against perceived agents of oppression.

Sizzla's 2008 effort, Ghetto Youth-ology, is produced by the Firehouse Crew, the same who produced Sizzla's debut, Burning Up.
