How does an original lyricist named Aaron Ugosmith (who also happens to be a white guy from Tampa, Florida with natural dreadlocks that have grown down past his knees) transform into a well-respected reggae artist? With hard work, a pure heart and a touch of divine intervention... Emerging from the underground scene of internet dancehall in the year 2000, Badda began to perfect his craft and systematically carve out his space in the industry. Working with a variety of producers globally, Badda put together an arsenal of tracks that he soon organized as a way to educate and inform the masses. With a focus on conscious material and informative content, word began to spread about not only the skill of the delivery, but also the quality of lyrics and the messages they conveyed. Badda Skat has striven to remain independent in the production of his music, both financially and creatively. DubShot Studios, where the majority of Badda’s tracks have been recorded, first started as a 10’ x 10’ room that also doubled as his living space. Keeping the name DubShot throughout its various incarnations, these humble studios would go on to facilitate the recording of over one hundred full-length tracks, including his debut album, GRASS ROOTS, the dub album follow-up to Grass Roots, GRASS DUBS, and the most recent release, MI JACARANDA. MI JACARANDA was fully produced, recorded, mix, and mastered by Badda Skat. Therefore, this is the most accurate artistic expression that you could have!
