Big Ship Alliance Authentic Reggae Music

 Band's Bio

 Sailing the ocean – navigating the waves of rhythm, taking you to a place where music and unity meet the soul

•  Formed in 2019 by Asha (vocalist) and Ebony (bass), Big Ship Alliance is an eight-piece reggae band consisting of eight professional musicians with vast experience and backgrounds. They bring a unique and authentic experience to our shows. Unlike other reggae bands, our shows are filled with energy, audience participation, and a Big Ship Family vibe.

• Big Ship Alliance is not just another reggae band. With a wealth of experience garnered from touring with renowned artists like Pato Banton, Apache Indian, and Sting, our eight-piece ensemble brings a global perspective to our music. This diverse background is reflected in our performances, making them a unique and unforgettable experience.

• At the heart of our music is a spirit of positivity, joy, and well-being. We believe in the transformative power of music, and our performances are a testament to this. Our audience feedback confirms that our music has a positive impact, and we take pride in every performance. We strive to evolve and deliver a unique experience with our original songs.
