Looking to continue the momentum from a successful 2021, music label Big Feet Records recently added music insider Fitzroy Francis to its team.
A former tour manager of reggae group Black Uhuru for over 10 years, Francis has come on as a music consultant after being introduced to the label by artiste Hugh English.
“Fitz brings with him a keen musical sensibility and wonderful rapport with many Jamaican artistes. For most of our earlier recordings, I created music using music samples, keyboards and, occasionally, a live guitarist. Over the past year, with Fitz’s assistance, we have begun assembling the BFR house band,” label CEO Josh Harris said.
Based in California, the young label with a little over a year of existence has produced big projects, working with a host of talented musicians.
“Big Feet Records’ objective is to promote the essence of the reggae-music style, like the roots music I listened to back in the day. I have collaborated with artistes that share my vision and style. I’m looking forward to fashioning the BFR brand into a recognizable sound that continues to promote the roots of reggae,” Harris stated.
Big Feet Records has collaborated with major acts such as Natty King, Lutan Fyah, Junior Kelly, Luciano and Pam Hall.
“We’re putting a fresh face onto the musical stylings that I’ve always jammed to. I like working with the artistes that I’m mostly familiar with,” Harris added. He said that for 2022, the label is working on new ventures and collaborations.
“So far, we have a few amazing upcoming songs by Bushman, Twiggi, Chuck Fenda and Lukie D. We are also in talks with two reggae legends, Ken Boothe and Marcia Griffiths,” Harris revealed.
