From
the young age seven Dubnine (a.k.a Michael Henry) was touring
England as part of (The willock family), he was also performing
live on BBC and other local radio shows.
After meeting Bob Marley and the Wailers he felt encouraged and
inspired to continue with his writing and singing career, and
the story begins.
Michael was lead vocalist and songwriter with Afrikan Star for
five years, the group gained a strong following earning them support
slots with Peter Tosh and a 22 date European tour, supporting
bands such as UB40, Burning Spear, Toots and the Maytals, and
Sly and Robbie.
He formed other bands Apple On The Drum with Jane Munro (Au Pairs)
and End Of Chat with Graham Hamilton (Fine Young Cannibals) and
continued doing live radio and tours throughout Europe. He has
recorded in the best studios in England, including Jacob Studios,
Virgin Townhouse and Island Records working with producers such
as Tony Platt (former engineer/producer for Bob Marley & the
Wailers). He formed another band Mau-Mau and signed a recording
deal but later branched out to do his own thing and built a studio
designed by Tony Platt.
He has been writing and producing for BBC & Independent Television,
Radio and Theatre companies. His latest work has been co-producing
the album ‘African Holocaust’ by Steel Pulse, which
had a Grammy nomination December 2004.
He now has formed Dubtransmissions Records and signed William
the Conqueror (Massive Attack), Yasuko,
and Dem'n'Us. With his partners
he has also developed Transdub Publishing, now signed worldwide
to Kobalt
Music.
He is ready, the time is nigh.
REVIEWS

Taking Technology to the frontiers of sound experimentation.
Dubnine embrace evolution, seamlessly marrying lo-fi with it's
older sister. Dubnine takes himself back to his reggae roots of
Bluebeat, Rock Steady and Ska whilst still maintaining the attitude
of experimentalists like Lee 'Scratch' Perry and The Mad Professor,
they filter their product through the contemporary dance scene.
‘People
Are You Ready’ is in the traditional vain of ‘Get
Up Stand Up’ through the modern matrix.
