Nicknamed “The Juke Box” because of his natural ability to rap, Denton “Monsoon” Bedward discovered his musical talent very early in his life. His spontaneous beats and lyrical fluency won him many clashes and talent concerts in his community. Monsoon migrated to the USA in 1991 and felt at home with his distinctly rap flavour, performing with numerous international reggae superstars including Shaggy, Buju

Banton, Capleton, Beres Hammond, and Steel Pulse. After a successful 10 years with the award-winning Washington, DC-based S.T.O.R.M. Reggae Band (Strong Talented Organized and Real Musicians), founder and lead singer/deejay Denton "Monsoon" Bedward has launched his solo career.

A native of Northern Clarendon in Jamaica, the veteran singer-songwriter's vocal ability has been compared to reggae veterans Capelton, Luciano and Tony Rebel. But where he really shines is on stage. After all, with a name like Monsoon, Bedward knows he has to come in like a strong wind, without mashin’ up the place too much. If you ask Monsoon, he'll tell you his passion to explode musically has always been in his DNA.

Monsoon’s songs are featured in movies (Nora’s Hair Salon II) and television in commercials or soap opera (Una Maid in Manhatan/ Telemundo& Aurora). He also had the opportunity to perform at President Clinton’s Inauguration ceremony. This high-energy performer with superb vocal skills and a commanding stage presence is definitely an artist you must notice. His participation in the finals of the Festival Song Competition, sponsored by Jamaican Cultural and Development Commission (JCDC), is historical and a benchmark for the artist. His efforts add up to the celebration of Jamaica’s 50 Years of Independence and symbolizes the achievements Monsoon has been making. His song “Bess a Bess” evokes the Nation’s rich history and gives the listeners the urge to move, dance, and celebrate.

Pay a visit to Monsoon’s Reverbnation site and many listed social media channels and experience the vibe.

Sincerely,

Janice Filipin on behalf of Monsoon Bedward
