Downsound Records recording artiste, Nature, invaded California in August to promote his album 'Life's Journey', and was a force to be reckoned with. The singer rocked audiences from Northern California, where he opened for Stephen Marley at Reggae on the River, the biggest reggae festival in America, and in California, where he opened for Steel Pulse in San Diego.

Nature was the only artiste to perform on both days at Reggae on the River and Reggae on the Mountain in exotic Malibu, California, where he played with Kymani Marley and the Easy Star All-Stars.

During his visit, Nature worked with British reggae entertainer Pato Banton in San Diego and performed at Roxy in Los Angeles with veteran rockers, the English Beat, and had the sold-out crowd in the palm of his hands.

The artiste then blew into Huntington Beach to demolish the Beachcomber with Peter Tosh's band (the Soul Syndicate/ Fully Fullwood band). Another great voice of Jamaican music, Tarrus Riley (with Dean Fraser) invited Nature onstage to perform a duet at the Observatory in Santa Ana and introduced him as the next superstar from Jamaica.

Not forgetting his Jamaican fans, Nature crushed the LA Yard clubs of Jamaica Gold, Medusa, Zanzibar and the Dub Club, where he played to a sold-out crowd with Warrior King and Sister Nancy.

Nature said the trip was a magical experience and he's looking forward to revisiting California soon. "It was simply amazing. I was invited by Magic! to hang out backstage at their show with rock reggae stars the Dirty Heads, and I also met with superstar producer Don Was (Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan) who gave me some serious insight into the music business. I've learned so much from these great musicians in a short period of time and I'm even more motivated to spread reggae across the globe."

Nature's album, Life's Journey, was released in June and contains 15 tracks, including Love You, Trying Man, World Peace, and Love is Everywhere. Nature has been promoting the album since its release in the spring. He invaded the UK in July and and has opened for UB40 in London.
