One Kingdom’s debut album

I started jamming more frequently with a couple friends in Vancouver that have been playing together for a number of years. They call themselves One Kingdom.

Then after a few tracks they switch roles giving the set time to breathe while keeping the audience intrigued. It’s a cool blend of catchy pop, folk and reggae with great harmonies and groove. After a bunch of pub shows we were starting to get pretty tight. With an...

I wanted to create a vintage sounding record that still had elements of modern day fidelity. We were both happy with how the album turned out. This 12 song album was tracked,...
