Description: The Jamaican-African-American Music Kwest is a journey as well as an adventure into the world of all music and philosophies...A visual and mental awareness of every style, chord, sound available for use by way of an instrument or voice.With recognition to the point that regardless of where we as musicians and creators take all music ,its origin is the true place which we should give thanks and praises for its foundation..With no beginning there is no end...What goes up must come down type reality.What we hope to achieve is ; never to throw out any concept of rhythm or style, and rather embrace and include it in our flow...So we appreciate and respect all punk, rock, metal, grunge, folk, soul, blues ,jazz, roots, culture, dancehall, hip hop, ska, rap and all those which I did not mention...Let us continue on our path....

Influences Every person I have had the pleasure of meeting and learning from.There are so many musicians to name it would be wrong to name one and not all... My mother and my blessed wife.And of course I am daily influenced by my decisions to be a man and do right by my children...

Sounds Like Music the way it was meant to be played.We have made and make an honest effort to mix it up.As all of us come from many different walks of life, so does our music.From the progressions to the medly style changes in many of the songs.We attempt to hit as many genres as possible, at the same time keeping to the honesty of its sound.
