Tribal Seeds joined forces with roots reggae phenom, E.N Young; and that is just the beginning

Love, faith, peace, truth, justice, appreciation and spiritual awareness are primary messages that E.N Young and Tribal Seeds are spreading with their music. The San Diego, California natives all met as youths when Tribal Seeds started back in 2003. In 2011 E.N recorded, produced, and mixed the latest Tribal Seeds EP, 'Soundwaves,' in his studio. He then went on the road in the fall of 2011 opening for Tribal Seeds touring from Hawaii to New York. E.N and lead singer/guitarist of Tribal Seeds, Steve Jacobo, were able to record and mix a song titled "Blessed Love" in Virginia and North Carolina while on tour. Their musical collaborations and personal relationships grew from there.

E.N Young learned piano when he was 5 and started playing drums when he was 12.  His musical career started early, at the age of 15, and played professionally in the band Stranger at 19. They recorded several times, played in front of thousands of people, won a San Diego Music Award, and spread their music across the globe for 10 years. The experience allowed him to grow, learning about music and life. In 2005 he met a group of musicians in the Bonita/Chula Vista, CA area called Roots Covenant. He was invited to play keyboards and sing for 40+ Jamaican artists such as Johnny Clarke, Heptones, Sammy Dread, Triston Palmer, Milton Henry, Jah Batta, Edi Fitzroy, and Eek-a-Mouse. In 2009 E.N started the group 3wise with Luis Castillo and AK Ciscneros playing as the band for artists including The Devastators (also known as Battle Cry featuring Ivan Garzon), Everton Blender, and Quino, a veteran of reggae music, singer from the band Big Mountain. Quino offered guidance and became a musical and spiritual mentor to E.N. The path utimately led E.N to start his own label, Roots Musicians Records, and record his solo album, 'Luck & Chance No More,' in 2010. 'Luck & Chance No More' was where he stepped out into reggae music on his own, even playing most of the instruments himself. The album is a focus of E.N's musical and spiritual mission; 'spreading good through music and inspiring others.'

After the release of his debut album and touring, E.N entered a remix contest for Rebelution's song "Good Vibes" and won the $1000 grand prize! Winning the remix competition helped him in the completion of his dream studio, Imperial Sound Recording. He wanted to pay homage to those who had influenced and inspired him such as Scientist, Mad Professor, and King Tubby by making music and producing artists. E.N recorded Gonzo's (Ryan Gonzalez, singer/songwriter for the band Beyond I Sight and formerly of the band Fortunate Youth) solo debut album, "Rocksteady" as well as an album for Skanks Roots Project, "Just the Tip." Skanks Roots Project is an exciting roots reggae collaboration from E.N Young and DJ Skanks including members from California bands High Tide, Mad Traffic, and KeepItLit. The album "Just the Tip" insinuates the metaphorical "tip of the iceberg" the band will further demonstrate in future releases. Also, E.N recently recorded ambitious female, reggae-pop singer/songwriter HIRIE. The release is yet to be determined but big things are coming for this young and talented artist so stay tuned. In the meantime, Roots Musician Records has a sampler available for download here featuring upcoming tracks for 2013. It also has previously mentioned "Blessed Love" and "Good Vibes" remix.

All ventures lead up to the fall of 2012 when E.N became an official member of Tribal Seeds, singing and playing keyboards and his melodica. His stage presence is a natural fit to the commanding California Roots/rock/reggae band. Although Tribal Seeds has changed the official lineup before, the core remains strong with the Jacobo brothers, Tony-Ray (playing keyboards and writing music) and Steven Rene (playing guitar, singing, and writing the lyrics). Since becoming an official member, E.N has been encouraged to continue producing albums, promoting his own music, and bringing his own energy to the band. Tribal Seeds have already had an enormous amount of national and international success. They have released 2 full length albums (2008s Self-titled, Tribal Seeds, and 2009s The Harvest) and the aforementioned "Soundwaves" EP (2011). Since 2011 they have released singles "Night & Day," "Did Wrong," "Run the Show" and some remixes - a few dub remixes from E.N and 1 dubstep remix from Tha Maad T-Ray (the DJ alias of Tony-Ray Jacobo). Tha Maad T-Ray released his debut entitled "Welcome EP" in January 2012. The electronic melodies and dubstep beats blend with reggae undertones displaying more depths of talent in the band. Other current members of Tribal Seeds include the polished Joe Rodriguez playing guitar, savvy Carlos Verdugo on drums and skilled Victor Navarro playing bass.

Currently Tribal Seeds is on a 2 month tour across 30 states directly supporting young legends, Slightly Stoopid. They are even taking a few dates between tour stops to play headlining shows with Tha Maad T-Ray and new family/friends, Stick Figure. The bands formed a bond while on the West Coast Tour together in January and will reunite any given opportunity. Opportunity knocked when Stick Figure's headlining East coast tour intersects coincidentally with the Slightly Stoopid/Tribal Seeds Spring Tour. They are very excited to play these shows especially since the first of these dates was a sellout at the Brighton Music Hall in Boston, Massachusetts. The familiar sense of family has spread through the band and out to others. They share these family traits along with the strong, united message of their music. The collaborations and synergy will continue; on the horizon is E.N's follow up album to "Luck and Chance No More," Tribal Seeds' 3rd full-length release, and lots of producing and recording at Imperial Sound Recording Studio. They are as truly blessed to jam the sweet, irie music as we are to receive it.
