About Me |
|
| A forceful and charismatic performer, singer/songwriter, musician, Causion is charged with intense emotions. His deep social and conscious lyrics are filled with appealing messages that blends Reggae, soul and pop music. Born Gregory Colin Bailey in the beautiful twin-island nation of Antigua & Barbuda, Causion recalls, I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a professional artist. I grew up in a family of established musicians and I did not have to reach far for either support or inspiration. Causions new album One Life To Live is definitely his best effort to date. It was self-produced with longtime collaborators Hopeton Lindo & Syl Gordon of 321 Strong Records and with the support of well-known engineer Jason Sterling from JasFar Records. The final production is impeccable. Fully equipped with the reality lyrics that make him a true contender for the title of conscious artist, Causion enlightens the masses on tracks like Gang War and Slave Addiction. He is showing us how to live a better life with Give Jah The Power. The albums also includes the ballad style Keep Moving On and Pop sounding tunes Feel The Vibes and Hold On There are several combination cuts with the likes of Hopeton Lindo and Gentleman. This collection will certainly keep hope alive. Antiguas Reggae Ambassador, Causion first enjoyed recording success in 1988 with the single African Girl, featuring British DJ Spider Don. It reached the top of the Caribbean charts and gained him a considerable following. From 1990-94 after taking up residency in New York City, he recorded four singles: Different World, All About Love, Crossroads and All Night Long. All received heavy rotation on the Caribbean airwaves. His 1995 cover of Breaking Up, an Alton Ellis original, featuring Miss Linda of Worl-A-Girl, made the top 10 chart that summer in California. In 1996 Causions cover of Groove Theorys Tell Me was also very well received both in the US and in the Caribbean. Working with Hopeton The Pen Lindo and Syl Gordon, CEO of Cylton Records and 321 Strong Records, Causions first single for the label Intimidation received rave reviews. Reggae Vibes, a European publication, gave it a 4-star rating and wrote, Causion displays his natural ability to turn the obscure into the obvious. Consider him a musical archer - lyrics powerful, straightforward and to the point. Causions debut album, Time Will Tell, was released in 1998, the result of his faith, hard work and perseverance. This impressive conscious Reggae album contains 14 captivating tracks. In the artists own words, Its timeless - something for today and tomorrow. Over the years, he has toured throughout the US and the Caribbean with some of Reggaes best and brightest artists such as: Rita Marley, Third World, Dennis Brown, Freddie McGregor and Judy Mowatt to name a few, giving stellar performance each and every time. He was part of the Tribute to Garnet Silk tour to the Caribbean along with Lt. Stichie, Merciless and Professor Nuts. Causion was honored in 1995 as the first Antiguan Reggae artist to perform at Jamaicas Sumfest, sharing the stage with Buju Banton, Mikey Spice and Mykal Rose among other luminaries. Some of the other major events he has performed at are the Bob Marley Music Festival in Washington, DC, the Reggae Cari-Fest NY, Bob Marley Day in Camden, NJ, and Cry Freedom Antigua. He took part in the 1996 Mega Youth tour of the Virgin Islands, the Spirit of Unity tour, and a tour of St. Thomas with Worl-A-Girl. Causion also appeared on Foxs Good Day NY, as well as performing at numerous well-known clubs in the US, including the Lions Den, Nells, Tramps, SOBs, New Music Café, Jam-Rock NY, Main Street, Outback Lodge and Wild Hare. In 1999 Causion relocated to South Florida, where he appeared at Freddie McGregors first Reggae Meets Rocksteady show in 2001, and in 2002 opened for Beres Hammond at the James L. Knight Center, both in Miami. He made several South Florida appearances before his performance hiatus to go into the studio for the recording of his sophomore album One Life to Live. Now Causions self-imposed performance pause is over and its once again time to enjoy the captivating and exciting artist Causion. MySpace Layouts |
