Artist History Zeed's roots go back to 1991 when Ricky Husbands arrived in Bahia, Brazil from his native Guyana. Reggae legend Jimmy Cliff, residing in Bahia at the time, asked Ricky to participate on his album "Breakout". After the release of this album, Jimmy invited Ricky to form a band to tour Latin America with him. Ricky would open for Jimmy with his newly formed band (now called Zeed Resolution). Ricky's and Zeed's popularity quicky grew. Today, Zeed Resolution continues to perform with Jimmy Cliff and in addition has opened for local Reggae star Lazzo, as well as internationally renowned groups Alpha Blondy, The Wailers and in 12/98 for Greggory Isaacs.
