Virginia Beach – It is a rare gift to meet an artist that you have listened to and respected for decades.  Never have a met a more humble and down to earth individual as Mr. Pato Banton.  So, rather than try to transcribe in words that may fail to truly give you a picture of the man, I present the video interview with him here, unedited and unfiltered ...

By Director, Genre Lead, and Editor: Andrew Wolfe

The Wolfe was born to a small litter in the mountains of West Virginia and transplanted to suburban Virginia Beach in the iconic year of 1984.  Left to the public school system, he soon became immersed in the varied subcultures of suburbia. Quickly he became a connoisseur of the rich substrata of disaffected youth in post-Reagan America.  Having to leave corporate tool-hood behind, the Wolfe prowls the silent alleyways in search of the next great spark of local music - the incendiary device that will reignite creativity in a music world gone wrong (apparently in the throes of Bieber Fever).
