In eighteen years O.B.F has established itself as one of the toughest soundsystems in
France, playing internationally and progressively becoming one of the most respected dub
sounds in Europe. The crew is known for the quality of his productions and its ability to run
a session like no other, with an intensity that blasts a crowd. After several releases on
"Dubquake Records" and "O.B.F Records" including a first LP called « Wild », and many
collaborations with the best dub producers and singers, O.B.F returns with a long awaited
second LP. A new stage in the development of its collaboration with Charlie P.

Charlie P

Hailing from Southend, Essex, Charlie P has been singing since the young age of 5,
starting as a Motown/Blues singer before quickly learning of a love for Reggae music.
Holding a connection to Reggae before he was even born (his Uncle run the locally popular
Simba Sound) Charlie's first vocals saw him join ska-collective Goldmaster All-Stars, and at
the age of 11 his passion for Jamaican music soon turned into a well-known talent. Nick
Dubateers, a man who owned a local sound system, soon noticed Charlie’s skills and took
him to Conscious Sounds studio to record first album 'Hustle', which he and the Dubateers
toured extensively around Europe. His first six vinyl followed, as well as debut video
‘Backstabbers’ – All of which helped further develop his natural talent and distinctive tenor
tone that has made him such a hit on the Reggae Sound system circuit and beyond.
Charlie's most second LP was released in 2015 and was the result of his collaboration
with Mungo's Hi Fi of Glasgow, which started in 2010. The release of album ‘You See me Star’
further showcases Charlie's talent as a recording artiste and brings together the best tracks
across the styles that he loves, from Roots Reggae and Dancehall to modern bass music.
The 'Youngest Veteran's' popularity continues to grow with his status as a regular show
headliner confirmed, touring the world from Boomtown to Outlook to Africa in 2015 alone
and clocking up work with such luminaries as Mungo’s Hi FI, Dubateers, Second 2 None,
Kenny Knots, Biga Ranx, Ranking Joe, The Goldmaster All-Stars, Michael Profit, Jah Tubby,
Earl 16, Iration Steppas, Bush Chemists, Conscious Sounds, King General, OBF SoundSystem
and many more over the course of an esteemed career for such a young artist. 2016 and
beyond looks set to continue in the same vein, with a full album scheduled with O.B.F
Soundsystem for april 2018 and the introduction of his own imprint, BoxMan Records.
