Liquidator

“The Rocksteady Allstars” a Rocksteady/Reggae band I used to sing in. Songs recorded live on our (experimental) debut gig (1 of 2 gigs the band did before breaking up...). Supposed to have been 2 female backing singers in the band and on the recording, but they weren’t ready for the gig. We guys weren't quite ready either, but we thought...what the hell! The only way we were going to find out was to do the gig anyway! The guys tried their best to help out on backing vocals... It turned out to be a brilliant gig in the end.

"Get ready to rock steady with Norbie G' and The Rocksteady Allstars!"

As a Vocalist, Frontman, Songwriter, Backing Vocalist, and Guitarist, I am a force to be reckoned with.

People often remark, "With a voice as powerful as yours, you don't need a microphone!" They suggest I should be earning a living through professional singing.

My musical journey began at the tender age of 5-6, singing solo and in choirs, and acting in plays at church, Sunday school, primary school, and local halls. By 14, I had taken up the guitar and soon joined my first soul band as a vocalist. This path led me through a Glam Rock/pop band, a blues band, and eventually to an original/covers Funk band based at one of the Cambridge Universities in the UK, performing at their May Balls and other events. Gradually, I shifted my focus more towards singing, which is my true passion.

As a Vocalist, Frontman, and guitarist, I have performed with semi-professional bands at a variety of functions and venues, including pubs, weddings, parties, balls, social clubs, hotels, nightclubs, universities, corporate functions, military bases, festivals, barbecues, charity events, and even on a vessel on the River Thames. I have won singing competitions (solo, band, and karaoke) and participated in both live and studio sessions. As a songwriter, I have composed several songs, one of which landed a publishing deal, and attracted significant interest from record labels, especially Arista Records.

My voice is uniquely powerful in both natural tone and falsetto, often leading to comments that I don't require a microphone. I can effortlessly captivate an audience. Some compare me to James Brown, or say I echo Errol Brown's higher notes, or match Levi Stubbs and Teddy Pendergrass with my raspy voice, and Eddy Grant when I sing reggae with a Caribbean accent, and Tom Jones with the intensity. However, this is debatable, as I consider my vocal sound and dance style to be uniquely my own.

With extensive experience performing live in genres such as Soul, Funk Motown, Blues, Jazz, Disco, Reggae, Soca, and Rock my journey continues.
