"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."

"I always like sharing new discoveries with everyone especially when they work for any of our destinations. Specifically, Chris Arpad, a one-man steel drummer is incredible for just about any event. But his talents are not just limited to the steel drum rather a plethora of music genres. We have used Chris now for several events and has been a great hit each time and works well especially when a client wants a large band with a small budget."

"Oh man! Where to start! I had seniors with Parkinson’s up and dancing! The upbeat, energetic music mixed with Caribbean-esc vocals had my seniors (ranging from 80 to 95 years old) up and moving like they were 20 again! I can’t say enough good things! Thank you so much for bringing so much life to our senior community!"

"The sun is shining from the first bar in this soon to be a hit song! It is the first one David Langlois ever wrote and it's about his falling in love for Africa at first sight. When I got the track and listened to it, I thought this should be number 1 on the charts! So i play it on my show the next morning, and I started hearing from listeners sending love messages from all over the world! I told him how much I love the richness of the sounds and that he was a real Jamaican to which he responded " a Frenchaican". Arthur Fearon host and founder of Reggae Plus Radio 1 Kingston Jamaica "

"Terrific and magical Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her. I would definitely keep him in mind for future events. "

Thank you Jannette! It was a special performance for me as well. Your cousin was a dear and I am always amazed at the power of music to reach all of us. I grateful that you chose me to perform for this special birthday. It will always be a treasured memory!
