Serving as ambassadors of good vibes and good music,\u00a0BONAFIDE BAND<\/strong>\u00a0has taken the world by storm. Located in Las Vegas, NV, by way of Montego Bay, Jamaica, BONAFIDE has hypnotized their fan base with great rhythms infused with sultry base lines and coupled with the smooth and soothing vocals of\u00a0Jr. Rootz<\/strong>\u00a0gracing each track. Eager to share their voice in the Conversation about what is going on in the world right now, the BONFAIDE BAND together with\u00a0DAMIAN \u201cJR. GONG\u201d MARLEY<\/strong>\u00a0are proud to present the new single\u00a0\u201cSTART AND STOP,\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0made available everywhere music is streamed and sold September 4, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cThe world needs LOVE right now,\u201d says the BONAFIDE BAND, \u201cand we want to be a part of that Conversation with our music. We come from a place where music always means something, so if we just do music with no footprint, it\u2019s a waste of time. And if we just do music to make money, it\u2019s a waste of life. It\u2019s time to put away our selfishness and come together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The youngest son of reggae legend Bob Marley, DAMIAN \u201cJR. GONG\u201d MARLEY garnered his own place in music history when he became the first ever reggae artist to win a GRAMMY outside of the reggae category, taking home an award for Best Urban\/Alternative Performance for his single \u201cWelcome To Jamrock.\u201d Marley\u2019s latest album\u00a0Stony Hill<\/em>\u00a0won the 2018 GRAMMY Award in the Best Reggae Album category. Additionally, Damian appeared on Saturday Night Live alongside Jay Z to perform their standout track \u201cBam,\u201d and he is also featured on Ty Dolla $ign\u2019s acclaimed track \u201cSo Am I\u201d with Skrillex. Most recently, Damian released the remix and music video for his single \u201cMedication\u201d featuring Stephen Marley, Wiz Khalifa, and Ty Dolla $ign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now based in Las Vegas, these gentlemen hail from Montego Bay, Jamaica, and their loyalty to their home runs deep.

BONAFIDE BAND members have been stellar members of the Las Vegas community, lending their name to several social issues and causes. In 2012, they contributed proceeds of their music sold in Nevada to benefit the\u00a0Help of Southern Nevada Organization<\/strong>, a non-profit that serves the poor, the homeless, and those in crisis.\u00a0Congresswoman Alice Costandina \u201cDina\u201d Titus<\/strong>\u00a0journeyed to Las Vegas to personally hand a\u00a0Certificate of Special Congressional Commendation<\/strong>\u00a0to mark their 19th anniversary in the music business to the reggae band. In 2017, the group was given their own\u00a0\u201cBonafide Reggae Day\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0on April 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


BONAFIDE BAND and\u00a0Broadyard Records<\/strong>\u00a0have teamed up to take over the world by taking reggae music to places it\u2019s never been before. \u201cWe\u2019re always looking to do bigger things with our music by reaching out and lending assistance to families in need,\u201d says Jr. Rootz. \u201cJust think what this world be like if we all helped one another reach our potential. That\u2019s what BONAFIDE stands for. If my life\u2019s purpose is just to make me happy, then it\u2019s a wasted life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
