Chris Williams founder of the band Irie Sol sings on stage at the State Theater in Eau Claire, March 2010

Early life

Founded the band Irie Sol after he moved to America from Kingston, Jamaica. He had the dream of starting a band that would fuse the genres (reggae, dancehall, ska, and dub) indigenous to his native island with traditional American music forms (hip hop, funk, soul, rock, and jazz). He's "dubbed" (pun intended) the resulting music "Alternative World" to acknowledge its roots and routes in World and Alternative music and to conjure an alternative world of global unity.
