Royal Sounds are a roots reggae band hailing from London. For your corporate event, wedding or birthday party the band can perform their original music and will play the reggae hits you recognise including songs from Bob Marley and UB40.

The line-up includes Ajani on bass, Gyasi on guitar, and vocals delivered by Ajani, Hannibal and Ras Sempah.  Ajani and Gyasi are brothers who have been learning their main instruments (bass and guitar) from their father, Ras Alkebu who played lead guitar in the band Prince Lincoln & the Royal Rasses.
