Jamaican Guitarist: Robert Dubwise Browne


Born in Kingston Jamaica, raised with a twin brother who shares his passion for music. Robert Dubwise Browne has never truly wanted to be anything else but a musician. And now that Robert Dubwise has lived his dream of being in various bands and touring the world with international reggae stars like Shaggy, Diana King, Buju Banton, Morgan Heritage, Jimmy Cliff to the not so big but still great artists - Tessanne Chin, Ernie Smith, L.U.S.T, Kevin Downswell, Junior Tucker, Aisha Davis and many more, it's only natural for a creative musician to evolve and become The Artist Himself.


With the recent re-release of BIRTH on November 5 2013 and ELECTRIFYING GROOVES OF DIVERSION earlier this year Robert Dubwise Browne is letting people know that he is a guitarist to be taken notice of. With a strong Rock & Blues influence "dubwise" fuses these genres with the music  of his native land Jamaica - Reggae and Dancehall. So don't be fooled by his quiet demeanor, what he doesn't express verbally Robert Dubwise Browne definitely expresses musically. 


Here's a video from a performance in Jamaica 2011, playing "Its So Beautiful" from the album Electrifying Grooves Of DiVersion:

Hair Today, None Tomorrow

It's been about 11 years now since I've been growing my dreadlocks and I recently decided to cut them. If you know me well, this shit has been on my mind for a while.

Anyhow, I'm only sharing all of this here because I want to donate my hair to somewhere/someone that it will benefit, if it can, in any way.
My first thoughts were to sell them on ebay or craigslist, figured I could get some decent $$$ because of who I am - Guitarist, traveled the world touring with Shaggy, Diana King, Jimmy Cliff, Monty Alexander Damian Marley.....and the list goes on. So there is some kind of "history" or "value" to my hair right? I'm not just an average Joe.
But then I thought "why should everything be about money?" I know there are companies that take hair and make wigs for cancer patients etc. But not all of them take dreadlocks as donations.

So that's it, if anyone knows who or where I can donate my lovely dreads I'd really appreciate it.
Gonna wash them, go to a salon and cut them. What I'll do is keep them in a ziploc bag until I figure out where to donate them.  Below are some pics... I hope to take some when I'm getting them cut.
