About Father Sun:

The true spirit of reggae with a blend of experienced artistry and youthful energy.
Father Sun’s repertoire encompasses reggae covers and original compositions, each note
carrying the authentic vibe of the genre.
The performances are not mere musical exhibitions; they are heartfelt celebrations of life and
the universal language of music.
Join Father Sun on their musical odyssey, where the essence of reggae is embraced and
shared, connecting souls and spreading positivity wherever their music is heard.
About the Musicians:
Each member of Father Sun brings their own unique flair to the performances.
Janiah Allen holds down the low end on the bass, providing a combination of steady root notes,
syncopated rhythms, and melodic fills, adding depth and movement to the music. Janiah’s son,
Nyo Allen, offers his exceptional drumming skills, bringing life to Father Sun’s beats and
creating a tight, cohesive groove with his father on bass. On lead guitar, Aram Skenderian adds
a touch of virtuosity to the mix with tasty solos that complement the rhythmic elements and
enhance the overall vibe. The band often invites additional talented musicians for live
performances and studio recordings and can be seen backing other reggae artists from outside
the region.

“A central theme of Island of Bone, both musically and lyrically, is to realize your best self while fiercely maintaining your identity. Father Sun knocks that idea out of the park. The songs are relatable and fun to listen to, plus they contain a depth of musicianship and message that inspire reflection and call for a greater sense of connection in our society.”  – Seth Abramson, The City Salt
