New Dub Reggae drop with Inside the Mind "Looking Glass"
Clint Warren, formerly the front-man of Obscurley and Stellar Icaria, is a Reggae Rock solo artist whose distinct Baritone Reggae Timbre is unapparelled in the genre. Imagine if David Bowie sang for UB40 - that's how most music critics describe Clint's voice along with guitar influences of Carlos Santana and Peter Tosh. Clint has also been compared to Jacob Hemphill, Clinton Fearon, and Kaleo Wassman.
“I decided to become a singer/songwriter after performing music since I was a kid. I started out as one of those child stars kind of like Sarah Lynn in the animated adult sitcom “BoJack Horseman.” Born and raised in South Africa, I starred in a few TV shows growing up. One of them was focused on music and performing called, “Zap Mag.” That’s where my fellow Saffer musicians Dave Matthews, Shaun Welgemoed, Watkin Tudor Jones Jr., and Yolandi Visser also got their start. So, think of my music as Dave Matthews meets Seether featuring Die Antwood. I also grew up listening to Tiken Jah Fakoly, Lucky Dube, Ras Dumisani, and Colbert Mukwevho in South Africa, so those guys have an influence on my music too. In high school, I moved to Florida and got into ska-punk bands like Sublime and Ballyhoo. After serving in the Marines, I moved back to Florida and got into the island and Caribbean-vibe kind of styles. Now, living in the Pacific Northwest, I try to write music that the average person will like.” - Clint Warren
The Reggae song “Pragmatic” from Clint Clint’s former duo, Obscurley, was included on the 11th GOA Chillout Zone Compilation which charted #2 on iTunes UK and #2 on Amazon Music UK in June 2022 and has been nominated for a 2023 Grammy Award. According to previous Grammy Award Winner, Oliver Sean, Clint's eclectic and adventurous richly detailed songwriting is informed by Reggae, Ska, Afro-Caribbean Calypso, Soul, Hip-hop, and many other genres that can't be enjoyed elsewhere.
