We challenged ourselves to avoid settling, knowing we had to push even harder. Each new piece of material had to surpass the last. It's always our aim. These tracks delve deep into vocals and melodies, weaving a narrative. Given our limited timeframe for each song creation, our collaborative efforts are relentless. The entire band is fully engaged, spending entire days in the studio using Presonus Studio One to meticulously craft each song and its structure. With half the band in Chicago and the other half in Tampa, files shuttle back and forth, incorporating creative ideas until the song structure solidifies. Then, it's studio time. Despite the intensity, modern technology makes it manageable. Eager to evolve, we've embraced fresh techniques, exploring alternate tunings and even incorporating different guitar and midi techniques. We've also ventured into guitar harmonies and synths, avoiding repetition. Each new track surprises our audience, reminding us of their passionate loyalty, which we cherish as an honor.

Norma Fraser was born in St. Andrews in Jamaica and attended Merle Grove High School. Although she loved music as a child, she never realized she had any talent, nor aspired to. The first song that Norma Fraser recorded was a tune called “We’ll Be Lovers,” a duet with Lord Creator, in 1961. The song was an instant hit and stayed on the Jamaican charts for over a year. She also recorded a tune with Lord Creator called “Come On Baby,” and both songs were recorded for Vincent Chin on the Randy’s label. But all of Norma Fraser’s subsequent songs were recorded at Studio One for Coxsone Dodd. It is extremely unusual during the early 1960s for an artist to record so exclusively for only one producer.

It all started for me at Studio One, the record label that was like the Motown label in America. It was owned by Coxson Dodd, the master mind behind us all. He signed me n the early 1960s, and i had the pleasure of working with so many wonderful performers and musicians who were also signed with him includng Bob & Rita Marley; Peter Tosh; Bunny Wailer; Slim Smith; Delroy Wilson; joe Higgs; Ken Boothe; and the Skatalites.
