The Fully Loaded Band

The Fully Loaded Band is steadily climbing the ladder to success, this being evidenced by its nominations at the 2010 Barbados Music Awards including the nomination for Band of the Year. This bears testimony to the fan based claim, that The FullyLoaded Band is the premier Reggae band in Barbados. The band, which features Buggy Nhakente on Lead Vocals, Albert Olton - Vocals/Guitar, Daniel Medford - Keyboards/Vocals, Mikey Ross - Keyboards/Vocals, Simon Pipe – Lead Guitar, David Haynes – Musical Director/Bass and Dre Bishop on Drums, is a group of exceptionally talented musicians.

FullyLoaded’s repertoire includes not only traditional Reggae, but also fusions of Reggae with R&B, Soca and even Spouge; they take you on a Reggae Experience that you won't forget, with their unlimited choices of music that bring back memories and help to create new exciting ones. The FullyLoaded band’s original music brings to light the motto of the band “Upliftment through Music”, as the music that they create and bring to people is based on strong, powerful messages that not only motivate and enlighten, but share love and give hope.

Every Wednesday night they bring the Reggae Experience to McBrides' in St Lawrence Gap for Reggae Wednesdays; where not only they have cultivated a following of locals, but also of visitors who come back regularly to see them. Their talents not only lie in rocking the clubs and promoted events, as they are also a fantastic backing band having backed many local artistes from varied genres and international artistes from Jamaica, Trinidad and the UK.

The FullyLoaded Band has been commended on the excellent performances at many of the major shows held in Barbados such as Reggae on the Hill, The Barbados Music Festival, The Beres Hammond Show - 2 Worlds Collide, also at Queen Ifrica & Tony Rebel, and many other events. It is these stellar performances that have helped catapult FullyLoaded into the spotlight and hearts of fans, locally and regionally. In this spotlight, FullyLoaded’s focus is on the exposure of local reggae talent; in their pursuit of one of their goals of getting Barbados to be seen globally as a source of great reggae music.

Versatile, charismatic and the personification of Reggae entertainment, The Fully Loaded Band is truly an asset to any event. Let them take you on a phenomenal Reggae Journey as they share…. Upliftment through music!
