"Maria Perdiki, known by her stage name Jammaroots, is a talented singer, songwriter and musician hailing from Athens, Greece. Growing up in a musical family, Maria’s passion for music runs deep in her veins. Throughout her career, she has explored various genres through collaborations, but she has found her true calling in reggae. Combining her diverse musical roots, Jammaroots has developed a unique sound that blends reggae with elements of soul, dub, and improvisation. In addition to performing with her band, Jammaroots, she also showcases her skills as an acoustic guitarist and as a reggae selector with live vocals. About a month and a half ago, Jammaroots released their self-titled EP, consisting of six tracks that were recorded live at Wannabizz Studios in Piraeus, Greece. The mixing and mastering of the tracks were done at Studio 10 in Thessaloniki, Greece, focusing on enhancing the heavy bass and delay effects to create a unique dub atmosphere while preserving the live band experience. The powerful sounding EP includes original compositions by Jammaroots, alongside a reggae rendition of Hooverphonic’s Mad About You. Doing a cover of this popular 2000 hit single in reggae style definitely requires a certain level of bravery. Although it may not be among the best tracks, it is still a commendable attempt overall. When it comes to standout songs, the enticing introductory track I Know A Place leaves a lasting impact. Similarly, the thought-provoking song Problems also grabs your attention with its meaningful message. Additionally, Wise Mind, a tune that will make you bob your head, is definitely worth multiple listens, especially due to its surprising twist in its final 3 minutes. This remarkable Jammaroots EP reaffirms that reggae music is a genre that transcends borders and can be created in a notable way by people all over the world."

"Unipec UK had a relaxed afternoon in the office for our Bake Off/ International Men’s Day event which was accompanied by Aidan’s soothing and soulful jazz sounds. Our employees enjoyed the background music and Aidan was attentive and adaptable. We thank him for his time, performance and hope to bring Aidan back for future company events. "

"…listening to his album gives the feeling that you are constantly on route to a different destination, from a Jamaican beach to a highway in Texas and ending up in a European café. "

"To quote a thank-you from one of our guests, “Tim’s party went with a blast”. Green Street Jazz provided the music and song for a memorable evening. Excellent musicians, they provided a superb selection that matched the mood and wants of our guests. Compliments came from all quarters during the party, and we were delighted that our guests were so pleased with our choice. In preparing for the booking leader, Pete Duncan spoke with me to ensure that the band understood what was needed. They got it right. We could not have made a better choice. (10 / 10) Elliot Hirst"

"ZaibenDG, come artista solista con base musicale reggae, incarna un mix unico di tradizione e innovazione. La sua musica è caratterizzata da ritmi rilassati ma coinvolgenti, testi profondi e una voce calda che trasmette emozioni autentiche. Ecco alcuni punti chiave che definiscono il suo stile e la sua presenza come artista solista: ### 1. **Fusione di Generi:** ZaibenDG non si limita al reggae classico, ma incorpora elementi di dub, dancehall, e persino influenze hip-hop e world music. Questa fusione crea un suono fresco e accessibile a un pubblico ampio. ### 2. **Testi Significativi:** Le sue canzoni spesso affrontano temi sociali, spirituali e personali, riflettendo una sensibilità artistica che va oltre il semplice intrattenimento. I testi sono pensati per ispirare, riflettere e connettersi con l'ascoltatore. ### 3. **Esecuzione dal Vivo:** Come performer, ZaibenDG ha un carisma naturale che cattura il pubblico. La sua capacità di interagire con la folla e di creare un'atmosfera intima, anche in grandi spazi, è uno dei suoi punti di forza. ### 4. **Produzione Musicale:** La base musicale delle sue tracce è curata nei dettagli, con un'attenzione particolare ai bassi profondi, alle melodie accattivanti e agli arrangiamenti ricchi. Questo rende la sua musica adatta sia per l'ascolto in cuffia che per i live. ### 5. **Identità Artistica:** ZaibenDG ha un'immagine distintiva che riflette la sua musica: autentica, radicata nella cultura reggae ma con uno sguardo rivolto al futuro. Il suo stile visivo e la sua presenza sui social media contribuiscono a costruire un brand coerente e riconoscibile. ### 6. **Collaborazioni:** Pur essendo un artista solista, ZaibenDG collabora spesso con altri musicisti e produttori, arricchendo il suo sound e ampliando il suo appeal. Queste collaborazioni dimostrano la sua versatilità e apertura verso nuove sperimentazioni. ### 7. **Impatto Culturale:** La sua musica non è solo intrattenimento, ma veicola messaggi di pace, amore e consapevolezza, in linea con i valori tradizionali del reggae. Questo lo rende un artista rilevante nel contesto culturale contemporaneo. In sintesi, ZaibenDG come artista solista rappresenta una voce fresca e significativa nel panorama musicale reggae, capace di coniugare tradizione e modernità, profondità e leggerezza, in un mix che conquista il pubblico e lascia un segno duraturo."
