Music Style Reggae

Artist History A passion for music...... Born Geoffery Scott in Black River St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, Sugar Bear has had an interest in music since he was a kid. The youngster would memorize every lyric of the legendary reggae entertainer Super Cat and would recite them to the kids at school while his friends banged beats on the desks. Feeding off the energy entertaining brought him, it didn't take long for Sugar Bear to start writing his own lyrics. "If I could sing Super Cat's lyrics, why not write my own", Sugar Bear reflects. Funny however, when he first started singing his lyrics people would say he sounded just like Super Cat, especially on some of his early demos. All that would change soon as he began to develop his own style and delivery, along with a change in location as he finished up high school in the United States. While attending Binghamton University, he was listening to tunes at the university radio station one day and met Production Director, Kevin James (Kev G). The two soon formed a quick artist/producer team as they would meet at 10pm daily and experiment with different musical techniques until the wee hours of the morning. Kev G would teach Sugar Bear studio techniques, production methods and how to create music in addition to the Bear using the time to refine his lyric writing and performance skills. Equipped with this knowledge, Sugar Bear went into extensive research about the music business, as far as promotion, marketing, legalities, etc. With his enhanced understanding of the industry and passion for music, he went on to put together his own studio, which he fittingly named The Bear's Lair. Sugar Bear expanded on this and affiliated with Black River Records, on which he has released his first single, "Throw Him Away". This infectious dance tune is just the first in a long line of recordings waiting to hit the music scene. Sugar Bear, who categorizes his music as reggae/pop creates a vibe on stage and in his recordings that creates a global appeal.
