Get HYPE with Messenger and his backing band The Souldiers Crew - LIVE. Messenger was born on July 19, 1976 in Saginaw Michigan. Inspired to play since birth, Messenger formed his first band at the age of thirteen. Messenger's grit and raspy voice did not come for free. His work ethic and belief that practice makes perfect made him successful not only as a street musician at age 18, but also in many other bands from the mid-west to the west coast and even Hawaii. His unique style and ability was partially formed from playing with musicians from places like Jamaica, Switzerland, Belize, Brazil, and Japan. Messenger's instrumental repertory includes guitar, bass, drums, melodica, Nyah-Binghi drum, and turn tables. He also has opened up for artists such as The Wailers, John Browns Body, and DJ Spooky. Messenger is available as a solo act or with a backing band depending on the situation.
