The founding
members of Dubtonic Kru are
Deleon “Jubba” White and
Strickland “Stone” Stone, a
dynamic Drum & Bass duo who,
over the years have contributed
to the development of modern
roots reggae with their unique
sound and approach that
intertwines Jubba's mesmerizing
Reggae/Jazz Fusion drumming with
Stone's groovy, yet pulsating
bass lines.
The Kru has gained about a
decade and a half of experience
from touring and or recording
with the legendary likes of Max
Romeo, U-Roy, Burning Spear, The
Mighty Diamonds as well as
modern day artistes such as
Bushman, Junior Kelly, Richie
Spice, Lutan Fyah and Voicemail
to name a few…
One of the significant
milestones in their careers was
the composition of the “I Swear”
rhythm, a rhythm that took the
Reggae arena by storm, which
featured Chuck Fenda’s “I
Swear” and Richie Spice’s “Marijuana
pon di corner”.

The Kru became a more complete
music machine with the additions
of longtime friend and versatile
guitarist Craig McCalla,
Jallanzo, another friend
and guitarist which also later
added his strong vocal ability
and you talented Luke Dixon
on work stations.
Another turning point of the
group's dynamic came with yet
another addition, a very unique
and powerful singer to round out
the already electrifying dub
compositions with sometimes
spoken words by Jubba. Kamau,
the Quiet Warrior, who
already had one album and two
popular singles to his credit,
"Sight
a Revolution"
and "Goodbye
Babe"
under the Island Treasure label,
brings a revolutionary voice to
the Kru.
Their songs and spoken words are
consciously thought
provoking,while their rhythm/dub
section walks through the
passage of time with a gritty
sound that rolls stones and
break fences. In 2008, Dubtonic
Kru once again stepped out on
European soil, this time as a
complete unit. The Kru bonded
with audiences through
remarkable performances and
further solidified their place
in the Music Industry.
Dubtonic Kru is dedicated to
raising the bars and keeping it
interestingly spontaneous. Stick
around for the ride.
