Pato Banton and Gonzo of Tribal Seeds
With Irie Essence and DJ Shag

Pato Banton is a reggae singer and toaster from Birmingham, England. He received the nickname “Pato” from his stepfather, and “Banton” from the disc jockey slang for a “heavyweight DJ”.

Ryan Gonzales aka Gonzo was born and raised in South Bay, Los Angeles, California. He first began singing when he was a child and at age fifteen, he started playing the guitar. Listening to motown, classic rock, oldies, salsa, r&b, and soul growing up, Gonzo’s music base was introduced by his father. “My father gave me a good music foundation as well as inspiration to become a music artist,” says Gonzo. As well as his father’s interest in the music scene, watching his friend’s band in high school perform is what inspired his to pursue a music career. The type of music Gonzo creates, he describes as “roots reggae trance.”
