The Fountain
The Fountain flows from the soul. The main goal of the Fountain is to awaken the most dormant of the elements that make music special, namely love and/or spirituality. The Fountain is Love. They are currently working on their latest project which will highlight their hip hop and soul influences. Their newest release entitled "Not A Day Goes By" represents a wonderful debut for newcomer Sharelle, whose soultry voice brings added energy and youth to the Fountain and who will be featured extensively on future Fountain tunes. The band is excited about the direction in which the Fountain continues to flow.
Group members Principle and Sonchild released the The Fountain's third album last spring entitled "The Fountain Brothers", which is a glorious representation of their evolution in all aspects. Friends of the Fountain and reggae fans in particular will be impressed with the Fountain of Youth's junior release which includes songs produced by Logwood Productions based in the Bronx, NY and Little House Productions, Cover Drive Productions, and Black Sun Productions all based in Jamaica, WI. The album includes wonderfully written, easy listening reggae music which is sure to be well received by music lovers worldwide.
The Fabulous Fountain has performed as an opening act for the Grammy award winning group Outkast and world renowned reggae icon Burning Spear. They have had success participating in a monthly hip-hop series at nightclubs around Buffalo and Niagara Falls establishing an extremely loyal fan base.
The Fountaineers are Martin "Sonchild" Roache and Robert "Good Principle" Roache. They are Jamaican born twins living in New York City who have been making music together since 1994. The third and newest member of the group is high school freshman Sharelle Davis. When she is not singing in church, she is in the Fountain studio bringing her brand of freshness to the unique songs in the Fountain catalogue.
Sonchild and Principle dropped the Fountain's first album, "Love Grows on Trees", in 2000 and designed it to touch the souls of music lovers everywhere with its spiritual appeal. Their second album, released in 2002 and entitled "Can't Stop The Fountain", showed them to be extremely gifted songwriters with a unique way of blending their hip-hop and reggae influences. The Fountain Brothers have also released solo projects while working on their latest release. Good Principle's "That's What's Up" released in the summer of 2004 and Martin Sonchild's "I'm A Believer" released in the spring of 2006, prove the Fountaineers to be talented songwriters who remain true to their reggae/hip-hop heritage.
The Fountain of Youth has been featured on compilations produced by Logwood Productions entitled "Step Into The Red" and "Logwood Eruptions Vol. 1". Fountain tunes from these compilations have been aired by WRTN 93.5, WWRL 1600 am, and other stations with Caribbean format in New York City, the Eastern Caribbean and Jamaica. Their songs have been featured on Caribbean reggae programs in New Mexico, Arizona, Atlanta, Florida and California.
The Fabulous Fountain sound is best described as a world sound because of its universal appeal. The Fountaineers view their work as a gift of music to the culture of music that they live and love. Core audiences in New York, Jamaica, and the Caribbean have embraced the twins for their soothing voices, inspiring rhymes, and resonant melodies. The current state of popular music is quickly deteriorating and could use a long drink from the Fabulous.......Fountain of Youth.
