Born out of a weekly music residency at a local watering hole, Brooklyn-based SunDub has developed into a collaborative mix of New York City musicians, consistently turning heads with an offering of classic reggae repertoire peppered with original and featured soul and blues almost weekly since 2013. Anchored by a core group—Finnegan Singer (guitar), Jose Lopez (guitar), Derrick Bourne (bass), Eric "The General'' Toussaint (vocals-keys), Sidney Mills (vocals-keys) and the brother-sister team of Joanna (lead vocals) and Ben Teters (vocals-drums)—many of SunDub’s stellar and frequent collaborators came together for its first production of original music, "Burden of Love." The album features reggae royalty Ruff Scott, The Chronic Horns (Easy Star All-Stars), Larry McDonald (Lee Scratch Perry, Gil Scott-Heron) and Sidney Mills (Steel Pulse). They lend their talents to Joanna Teters' commanding and soulfully smoky lead vocals and blend seamlessly with the air-tight arrangements of the SunDub rhythm section. The result is a stand out expression of reggae’s classic undulating pulse and lush subterranean grooves, reinvented for listeners of all times and genres.
Vassell Meka is a dynamic recording artist, producer, and musician originally from Kingston, Jamaica. As the founder of Legacy Mekas Muzik, an independent record label launched in 2018, Meka has made it his mission to uplift emerging talent—creating a platform for artists, producers, songwriters, and musicians to launch their careers. Blending roots reggae with world sounds, Meka brings a fresh global edge to the genre. His music is deeply influenced by his background in music education and his passion for community empowerment. A graduate of the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts, and later Mico University, Meka taught music at both primary and secondary levels before moving to the U.S., where he now works in the special education field. His compassion and life experiences flow directly into his artistry. As a former drummer/percussionist, Meka has performed across Jamaica and North America, and has collaborated with acts such as Chiliguys, Minori, Caleb Hart, and the New Awtical Band. His production work helped launch the Chiliguys, whose debut album Love, Papa topped the US reggae charts. His debut solo album, The Full Spectrum, was Grammy-considered for Best Reggae Album in 2024, cementing his position as a rising force in modern reggae.
