The elusive reggae artist DJ Selah is Baltimore based, and has been active for over 30 years, performing and recording as a solo artist as well as an original member of The Pietasters, The RLTB, The Scotch Bonnets, and The Forwards reggae band. Other artists he has joined on stage include Jah Works, The Players Band, Strykers Posse, and Stewie from The Cables, as well as backing the great Sister Nancy. He is a vocalist, DJ, musician, and promoter who has performed all over the US and in Canada and Jamaica. Additionally he’s hosted many events in Baltimore such as the Musical Barbecue and Hol A Medi bringing the reggae community together in the pursuit of conscious music. “The Rudie Abides” is DJ Selah’s first solo full-length – it is a concept album reflecting his long relationship with Jamaican music and its offspring. The challenge was to thread the different waves of ska, as well as diverse themes into a thought provoking tapestry of word sound and power in one album. The album was written by DJ Selah and produced by Mark Leary of Unity Reggae Band who played most of the instruments as well as all sound production. Many artists from the ska community are featured, including Steve Jackson and Alan “Ruffcut” Makranczy from The Pietasters – Britany Luna from Catbite – Curtis Reeves, Kelly Di Filippo, and Dan “Dubmaster” Schneider from The Loving Paupers – Nick Reider, Dave “Silverfox” Saunier and Marc “Levi” Levine from The Players Band – Meredith “Sister Merf” Leary from Unity Reggae Band – J Navarro from The Suicide Machines – and Matt Mason from Uzimon. As DJ SELAH says “On the frontline till I flatline!”
