Search - Deyansa :: Holding On To life

Deyansa breaks onto the scene with a CD of inner strength and fortitude Deyansa was born Wayne Fearon in May Pen, Clarendon, Jamaica in 1973 and while he was always singing and writing songs it wasnt till 12 years ago that he got serious and started to write down his lyrics and working out the songs on his acoustic guitar. Deyansa hooked up with fellow Jamaicans, Keith Senior and Jonathan Ford. The band toured with such reggae dignitaries as Culture, Meditations, Augustus Pablo, Cutty Ranks, and even Gregory Isaacs! Giving their able support on tours that took them throughout the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. Keith Senior and Jonathan Ford had been session musicians for Coxsone Dodd, Lee The Upsetter Perry, and Ms. Pottinger performing on many hit songs. They also worked on such great projects as The Black Ark Dub and The Upsetters albums. Keith is a multi-talented musician who is very comfortable in the studio no matter what instrument you place in front of him, keyboards, bass and rhythm guitar, or drums. Jonathan is an accomplished bass player and was one of the original members of the Rhythm 1000 band. Rounding off the core of Riddim Zone is Ian Joseph, a drummer with a passion who hails from the tropical islands of Trinidad & Tobago. He joined the band two years ago after touring in Asia.
