Originally formed around lead singer Del Reyes in Manchester, England, as a four piece reggae covers band, Johnny 2 Bad moved base to Birmingham, the heart of reggae music UK, where it expanded to it's current 8-piece format. The band gathered players from the Who's Who of the UK reggae circuit and worked hard honing the sound and stage show in venues across the UK. After 18 months and under new manager, Steve Hughes, the band rapidly gained a loyal following and an enviable reputation as one of the most exciting reggae bands around. They have been sought out to work alongside established artists such as: Pato Banton, Bad Manners, Musical Youth and Apache Indian. In January 2007 Johnny 2 Bad made its European debut in Holland, headlining at Leeuwarden's Muziekcentrum Schaaf From this came further bookings in Holland and Belgium thanks to the enthusiasm and support of Bobby Veenstra. Love of the music, world class musicianship, sheer hard work and supreme professionalism, guided by expert management has seen Johnny 2 Bad take its place in the UK arena and now they are set to step up to the world stage.
