Thency Dennis was born in Jamaica on May 10th, 1947 to a very religious family. Although poor in resources, but spiritually rich in God's grace they were taught morning and evening that the God of the Ten Commandments, the God of the Torah, must be first priority. Thency Dennis migrated to the USA when she was nineteen years old, got her GED, and furthered her education. After her mind wandered from the sacred words of the Most High for a few years, a mighty power descended upon her ... the Voice of the Alpha and the Omega spoke mightily in her mind. She yielded herself to his tender embrace and he captured her mind, commanding her in later years to go to the nation's kindred and people and tell them “it's sealing time”. 
She was on fire, hallelujah! And went about with much love in her heart for people, helping the homeless, helping the sick and suffering, giving to people who did not have. Encouraging people to enter into holiness, to call upon the name of the Heavenly Father and be saved. She took people into her home and cared for them including homeless children who were sheltered in her home.
Thency Dennis’ first album was recorded at RCI Studio in Elmsford. One day at a time she broadcast over many radio stations, and then recorded her second CD, “Yeshua is Coming, Hallelujah”.  She worked hard to independently pay for her broadcasting, editing, and recordings.
Her mother's passing in 2007 weighed heavily on her mind and in her heart. She had never felt such pain, not even when she was delivering her two children. She was compelled to write the song “Just Can't Say Goodbye” as a tribute to her Mom. Another blessing in disguise presented itself when The Joshua Shaw's bar mitzvah was due and Josh asked Thency Dennis to sing at his bar mitzvah. She was confused, “what do I sing that will make sense?” ... not too many songs out there were about celebration. She wrote on a matchbox cover one afternoon, as she was working with his little brother Johnathan ... “It's a celebration”. From then on she was inspired to write the rest of the song, and a few professional writers and singers urged her to record it.
Whilst she was working tirelessly doing the will of him that called and sent her, Rahli McIntyre took her to Brooklyn to meet Bishop Reid. He was impressed after visiting the Temple a few months, he ordained her to the Ministry as a Missionary. A few years later they started work in New Rochelle. The Almighty gripped her heart in obedience to his words. Overseer Mickens subsequently ordained her as Pastor. A few years later, after much seeking, daily studying of the word, prayer and supplication, God gave her wisdom through the Holy Spirit, to aid the sick through spiritual and natural counseling, to feed the hungry, poor, destitute and lost.

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.

This Jamaican born and raised singer/songwriter is a product of Mona Prep Choir, Campion College Choir, and the University Singers, all of Kingston, Jamaica.  Mario Evon is another bright upcoming Jamaican artiste adding his flavour to the music industry. Unassuming, but energetic, he produces a mix of many genres including R&B, jazz, reggae, dancehall, and combines them to form a unique style. Singing from about the age of seven (7), Mario has also done his fair share of performing in Jamaican theatre, scoring the understudy for ‘Timon’ in “The Lion King”, and the lead for ‘Daniel’ in “Once on This Island”. Prior to being accepted to Berklee College of Music, Mario had good experience singing backup vocals for many established, as well as upcoming artistes, including Benjy Myaz, Camar (pka Flava Unit), the Rocky 5 band, Alaine and Cezar.  Also prior to attending Berklee, Mario put working as a Medical Doctor on hold to pursue this dream of being a recording artiste.

Now at Berklee College of Music he is pursuing a Bachelor of Music Degree, double-majoring in Songwriting and Music Business/Management.  But it doesn’t stop there.  Since being at Berklee Mario has been intensely involved in the community, singing with Bostonian reggae band ‘Hot Like Fire’, and singing background vocals for Berklee’s Singers Showcase and other student bands.  Mario recently was selected to do lead vocals in Berklee’s Singers Night, and also just became a DJ on the Berklee Internet Radio Network (BIRN), with his new Caribbean culture show called ‘Caribbean Connection’.  Mario has all hopes of becoming one of the future 'movers and shakers' in the Jamaican, as well as the international music scene.
