Safari Sound was founded in south Sweden in 2003 by a couple of reggae fans and record collectors who loved reggae music since they first discovered it during their early school days. Two of the three founding members left the sound leaving Shirkhan to carry on the Safari name. Shortly after the founding members left, Zoro joined the sound as Safari’s first MC. Zoro and Shirkhan played the sound together until Zoro decided to focus on his career as a recoding artist.

In late 2006 Sammy K joined the sound as an MC. Together he and Shirkhan began taking the sound to the next level. Safari quickly established their name as one of the major contributors to the music scene in Southern Sweden. Safari established their presence through their show on Swedish National Radio, regular mixtape releases and several weekly and monthly events.

In 2009 Safari Sound started doing guest mixes for Din Gata (a local radio station belonging to Swedish National Radio). These mixes were so popular the sound was offered a monthly radio slot on P3, the biggest radio station in Sweden, which is apart of Swedish National Radio. The popularity of the monthly program grew to the point that in 2011 Safari was offered a weekly spot on Musikguiden i P3 every Friday evening (in 2017 the day changed to Wednesdays in order to attract more traffic).

This placement made Safari’s show the biggest Reggae and Dancehall show in Scandinavia.

In 2011 Safari relocated from its birthplace Malmö to Stockholm. Some of the events that made the sound famous were also re-launched in Stockholm.

In 2014 Safari Sound started participating in soundclashes, two in Stockholm and one in Denmark.

In 2015 DJ Autograph, longtime colleague and friend, joined the sound. DJ Autograph was born and raised in Kingston Jamaica and moved to New York in the 90s. He worked behind the scenes until mid 2016 when his announcement as part of Safari was made official along with his move to Sweden.

2017 was the year Safari Sound dedicated themselves to releasing original music via their own label. This resulted in the formation of Safari Records in early 2018, together with Swedish producer Binnie Smalls. The first single (Pon Di DJ with Red Fox) was released early 2018 and was followed up by an official remix of Chronixx’s mega scorcher Likes. Look out for more releases from Safari Records in 2018.

Originality, quality and their ability to play for any type of crowd has gained Safari supporters both within Sweden and internationally. Safari has toured Europe, Japan, Gambia, The Middle East, USA and Jamaica, performing at festivals and clubs in the aforementioned places.

Safari Sound is known for playing the latest Reggae & Dancehall mixed with exclusive dubplates and remixes. These days you should expect the unexpected when you catch the sound jugglin’: from old school Rub A Dub Reggae to todays Hip-Hop and R&B to 90s Dancehall scorchers and todays dancehall anthems. One thing is certain, when you step into a Safari Sound party you’re guaranteed to be at every future Safari event.

Damian Robert Nesta Marley, also known around the world as “Junior Gong” and more recently as “Gongzilla” was born in 1978 to parents Bob Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976.  As a young adult, he developed a passion and a gift to speak for those who cannot always speak for themselves. A self-proclaimed ‘Spiritual Revolutionary’, Damian has worked assiduously to carve his own niche in music history and to add a new perspective to the Marley legacy for the 21st century. 

At the age of 13, Damian began performing in a group called “The Shepherds” which comprised of Shiah Coore (son of Third World guitarist Cat Coore) and currently a member of his band, and Yashema Beth McGreggor, daughter of reggae singers Freddie Mcgreggor and Judy Mowatt and then began touring with his brothers, Stephen, Ky-mani, Julian and Ziggy. 

By 1996, Damian had already made his stamp as a different kind of Marley when he released his first solo album “Mr. Marley”, a heavily dancehall-influenced album produced by his brother Stephen Marley.  His second album “Halfway Tree” was released in 2001 by a major record label and showcased Damian’s unique gift for blending dancehall, reggae and hip-hop styles.  This album won Damian much recognition and remained on the Billboard Top Reggae Album Charts for 158 weeks and earned him his first Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2002. 
While honored by this recognition by the global music fraternity, Damian continued to work in the studio, laying the groundwork for the tracks that would become his highly anticipated album, “Welcome To Jamrock”. The lyrics in this album presented Marley as a true spiritual revolutionary, as he used his talent to evoke a spiritual change while trying to enforce a better way of thinking.  He is described as “rhyming with the conviction of a street preacher with the intellect of a university economist”.  

Damian’s hit single “Welcome to Jamrock” was listed as one of the Top 100 Songs of the Decade by Rolling Stone, and at the 2006 Grammy Awards, he won Best Reggae Album and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for Welcome to Jamrock. Damian is the only Jamaican reggae artist in history to win two Grammy Awards on the same night. He is also the only reggae artist to win in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category at the Grammy Awards. The New York Times called Welcome to Jamrock the “best reggae song of the decade.” 
Welcome to Jamrock led the pathway to Damian’s critically acclaimed collaboration with Nas for 2010’s much lauded album “Distant Relatives” – a project which explored the relationships between reggae, hip-hop and Africa. The album title refers not only to the bond between the artists, but the connection to their African ancestry, which inspired the album both musically and lyrically. USA Today referred to the album as a “potent and often provocative collaboration” and by Rolling Stone as “an Afrocentric winner.” The album debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and Number 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Rap Albums and Reggae Albums charts, with Billboard heralding the album as “a dynamic hybrid.”    

The Distant Relatives Tour kicked off in 2011 and saw Damian traveling and performing for thousands of fans all over the world, including South America, Europe, The United Kingdom, The Caribbean and North America.  

Damian continued to cross musical boundaries in 2012, as he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem”, which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall” and has led to several remixes of the original version.  Damian recently released two other singles; “Set Up Shop” and  “Affairs of the Heart” which both received widespread airplay. 

Damian continues to tour with his band all over the world as a way of entertaining and healing as he continues to spread the message for those whose voices cannot be heard. He is working with his brothers Stephen and Julian under their Ghetto Youths International Label, to discover, develop and sign gifted artistes by applying their musical talent and vast experience to create new and different styles of music.  

Damian is currently in the studio working on his upcoming solo album.
