BIO

'd’bi. is a phenomenon, one of those human dynamos that leave the rest of us with jaw hanging in rapt amazement. A veritable volcano of artistic activity, The result is a feast for the ears – rhythms from Africa, Jamaica, and Cuba, segue into North American traditions of folk, blues, jazz, funk, punk and beyond. Every poem-song is an education in a world that is still being born – a world as inevitable as sunrise…It’s a world we’re all going to see, and soon.'

- Vincent Tinguely, Music Critic

’dbi. & the 333 is an Afro-Dub-Fusion band headlined by the dancehall-queen-daughter-of-dub-poetry-womxnist-warrior d’bi.young anitafrika.
