New Orleans-born, Bermuda-raised Colin Harper is also known as Collie Buddz  and is about to bless us with his blend of hip-hop and Caribbean music on his upcoming self-titled debut due July 3.

The singer/songwriter offers a sweet falsetto voice which pays homage to his reggae roots.

“Nowadays when I go to put on a CD, its old tune: Alton Ellis, The Meditations, The Heptones, Skatalites, Jacob Miller, Eric Monty Morris; love the rockers music. From that I start to teach myself some of the history of this music, that’s where I started to come a little more versatile with the singin’…the foundation just straight reality, yunno. I like dancehall, but de foundation and conscious tune really what me love.”
