Artist History

"If Bob Marley were alive today, I have no doubt that Fourth Dimension would make his Top Five list of favorite reggae bands."
-Miami Herald

"Conjoin the fully orchestrated arrangements of the Wailers Band with Steel Pulse-style vocals (thought the accents aren't Kingston or Brixton) and you'll get an idea of the sound of this four-piece (at times augmented by live horns a la Burning Spear)."
Chuck Foster- The Beat Magazine.

Dubbed as "South Florida reggae legends" by the Miami Herald, Fourth Dimension features a likeable, buoyant live-band sound with catchy hooks, layered harmonies, electric guitar riffs and a bi-lingual Spanish – English edge. In the Southeast region of the USA they are known as a crucial driving force in the reggae movement. Currently performing over 250 shows a year.

In 2010 alone 4-D has played the Super Bowl XLIV official concert series and has supported acts such as Matisyahu, Julian Marley, Fishbone & Steel Pulse.

Fourth Dimension album Invazion was nominated for Best reggae album and Best reggae song x2 in the 2009 JPF Music Awards, the biggest independent music awards. The band was also featured in Promo Only Caribbean Series January 2009 alongside artists such as Collie Budz and Daddy Yankee. (Promo Only is the world's #1 provider provider of digital distribution of the hottest and upcoming artists to radio stations and major record labels.-The industry standard for major label distribution)

Fourth Dimension's Invazion was named in the Best of Reggae Series by Reggaetrain.com. Taxi, the world's leading A&R Company review of Invazion was " 9 out of 10".

This reggae powerhouse has performed at the world-acclaimed “Reggae Sunsplash”, toured internationally with Jamaican dancehall star, Mr.Vegas and shared the stage with artists such as Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, UB40, Mos Def, James Brown, John Mayer and others.

On may 10 2008 they released their 15 track album Invazion for which they teamed up with Karl Pitterson, the legend who recorded and mixed Time Magazine’s “The Best Album of the 20th Century”, Bob Marley and The Wailer’s Exodus Album, and produced Steel Pulse’s first three albums. Immersed in Pitterson’s studio in South Miami Florida non-stop for over a 4 month period, the innovative pairing introduced some new and surprising elements into the band's established reggae sound. Pitterson has put his mark on other records of such artists as Mick Jagger, Peter Tosh, The Skatalites, Robert Palmer, Grace Jones and brought that same vibe and passion to Fourth Dimension’s new album, Invazion. The album features their new super-dynamic drummer Joe “Grind” Fagan and special guest Grammy-nominee drummer, Bradley Brown from Sizzla.

As rastafarian vocalist/bassist Jah Steve divulges, "In a sense we were trying to create a progressive reggae album while keeping the authentic reggae sound.” Steve has been involved in the reggae scene since an early age and has backed up Jamaican “Studio 1” greats such as Derrick Morgan. He names Wailer's bassist Aston "Familyman" and Eric Clapton as his musical role models. Drummer Joseph "Grind" Fagan studied with Jonathan Joseph, Russ Miller and attended Musicians Institute of Hollywood California. Joseph has toured with Lady Saw, John Holt and other R&B and reggae acts. Guitarist and vocalist Strings is endorsed by two guitars companies Hutchins Guitars (UK guitar company endorses Dick Taylor/Rolling Stones, Oasis, Fat Boy Slim, The Kooks) and First Act Guitars. The lyrics on Invazion reflects themes such as the band’s assurance in that positivity and humanitarian beliefs are still alive. With lyrics on the title track that chat, “If we all could keep on giving the love that we have, lets reach a new land”. And in Muertos En Vida, one of the two spanish tracks on the album, classically trained pianist/keyboardist/vocalist  Pierre Arnau  asks, “What kind of seeds must we plant to see this world grow?”

Fourth Dimension's latest album, "Invazion" is a compilation of vibrant and upbeat Reggae music that has a very modern and refreshing sound. "Dis Ya Music" is an upbeat number with an undulating rhythm, brass highlights, great harmonies, and lyrics that celebrates music itself. "When The Pressure Drop" is a song with more of a contemplative beat over which the vocals charms the listener with uplifting lyrics. "Frequency" is more of a funky Caribbean song with an active beat that entices one to get up and dance along. Overall, this is a highly animated and spirited Reggae album that takes on many social issues while at the same time brings forth a positive celebration of life. Fans of artists such as Bob Marley or Steel Pulse will really enjoy the well crafted tunes of "Invazion" by Fourth Dimension.
