Rass Motivated
Rass Motivated is a young upcoming artist in Europe. His Mother and Father are from Surinam, but he was born in The Netherlands. He’s been struggling to climb up for several years as a dutch rapper, untill he recorded a reggaesong ‘Essence Of Life’ in Surinam. After that and all the good feedback he got about the song, he saw that his heart is in reggae. Rass’s father is also a famous reggaeartist in Surinam by the name of Basja Ranking so the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree indeed.
3 days after ‘Essence Of Life’ was released he had a interview at the biggest radiostation of Surinam. When he came back in the Netherlands he made Kalibwoy & Maikal X (2 Big Dutch Reggae/Dancehall Artists) hear the song and that was the start of a good business relationship and a good friendship of course. In short period he performed in Club Watt as support-act Aidonia and gave a great show in De Melkweg amsterdam. Exactly one year after the song got realeased on 25th of September he will perform in one of the biggest indoor festivals in holland with Sizzla Kalonji, Vybz Kartel, Barrington Levy, Fantan Mojah, Gyptian and Maikal X at Heinek Music Hall.

Punky Donch
A few years ago deep down in a small bar in down town Amsterdam a couple of friends who were meeting each other every weekend decided to create an live music night.It was until a cold winter night after a jam session they decided to start a band and Punky Donch was what they called it. Since that day the music industry has encountered itself with a whole new breath. They called it Gangsta Reggae. On that cold December night they decided to go and do something together,… make some music. Music that comes right from the heart.
Awa Ras the lead singer, a talented young upcoming star hypnotizes you with his unique vocals. Next to him we have Don Dutch with his profound deep bass voice that will thrill your heart. Juicing up the beats is Von Rast on the bass guitar making you move to his island groove. Leading the guitars is Nando beach who surfs his way through the sweet sound of his guitar. Scrubs the booty shaker ensure you with his percussion that you will swing. Choco Chriz drumming his way in a punky donch style. And last DC giving the rhythm and vibe to the unique sound they call Punky Doch.

“We’re probably not that much different from you in many ways; we like having fun…we like it when people around us are having fun too…sometimes we have our bad days and sometimes we get into trouble….sometimes we make mistakes and sometimes we learn from them….some of us believe in this and some of us believe in that….but one of the few things we do have in common is that we all believe in ourselves…and whenever we get together..whether it’s to write a song or to practice or to get on stage or whatever ..we always make sure we have a good time!!”
