It all started in 1994 with the formations of Reggae band the Dub Smugglers, as Bassie, and Band Manager. Fast forward to 1995, THE KURANDA REGGAE FESTIVAL (known as the FIRST as well as THE BEST Reggae Festival in Australia) was born. in 2003, The Festival was re-branded as The REGGAETOWN FESTIVAL with Indigenous Aboriginal Music as our focus. The Reggaaetown Festival was known for featuring emerging AUS & NZ Reggae Music & Bands artists for over a decade including: The John Butler Trio, The Cat Empire, Jah Mason, Zennith Blue, King Brown & Zenith until its final year in 2012.

 

In 2012 a NEW Reggae Music Booking agency emerged:
