Name: Steven Rene Jacobo

 Tribal Seeds / Vocals / Composer 

Where does the muse for your lyrics and music come from? I've always listened to the messages in roots music and that made me look more into the bible. That's where my main inspiration for writing comes from. I've always felt a deep connection to the lyrics of reggae legends and I just want to continue that message. 

What is your favorite thing about being a musician? Favorite thing is just being able to make a living from doing what I love. To be able to travel, playing music for our fans is something I truly feel blessed about.

We hear you've read the bible from cover to cover. What is your favorite story or book in it? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They had no fear, no fear at all.

Where does your love for reggae music come from? My parents always used to play reggae music in the household so I grew up listening to it.  Glad my parents had good taste, ha. 

Is there any social, political, or environmental issues that you are passionate about and want to help change? I mean there's a lot of problems going on environmentally and politically and it keeps getting worse but the outcome of all this is written in the book. 

How do you relate to Todo Tranquilo's message? I relate to Todo Tranquilo because I love peace and tranquility. It's nice to just ease your mind and enjoy life for its natural beauty and to celebrate it with good people. 

What are you listening to at the moment? I've been starting up a vinyl collection so I've been buying a lot of the classic reggae albums. Some of my favorite ones are Culture - International Herb,  Steel Pulse - Handsworth Revolution, and  Jacob Miller - A chapter a Day. Just to name a few. 

What would be your advice to someone who might be considering giving up on their dreams or aspirations? I would say to devote yourself to what you love and things will fall into place.

Favorite quote: "Practice noble silence"

Qualities you look for in a woman: Beautiful, chill, and has noble ambitions. Ha.

Latest cool discovery: 

Who do you look up to? I look up to a lot of the reggae legends who started this music with such talent, creativity, and spiritual drive.

 If you weren't playing music what do you think you would be doing? I honestly don't know what I'd do if I didn't play music.  But I'd try to do something I love. 

Anything else you would like to add? Just want to say thanks to all the fans and people who took the time to read this.  Also want to thank Tony from Todo Tranquilo for having me and for promoting good culture.
