Founded in 2004 - Irie Sounds originally started as a radio show hosted by founder Dr. Suess in Sonoma, CA on KSVY 91.3 FM.

After several singles with a variety of upcoming artists, Irie Sounds International officially launched as a label with the release of the Lead Di Way Riddim in 2006, featuring Ras Attitude, General Smiley, Rocker T, Binghi Ghost, and many more. This was followed by Justice Must Come, a roots/lovers rock album from southern-california artist Steve Steppa in 2008.

In 2012 the label saw sucess with Music Is My Calling, an album from reggae legend Fred Locks. The album received great reviews from sites like Reggaeville and Achis Reggae, and helped introduce Fred Locks to a new generation of reggae listeners.

Since then the label has kept hard at work on a variety of projects. This includes the In Love Riddim (2014) featuring tracks from Warrior King, Stevie Face, Frankie Paul and more; the Palestine Riddim (2016) featuring artists like Yami Bolo, Bugle, Prezident Brown and more, as well as singles from artists like Adele Harley, Meera, Al Pancho, Jah Waye, Rusty Zinn, Joshua Hales and more.

After a variety of singles 2020 brought the release of the latest juggling, the Pretty Looks Riddim featuring artists like Fred Locks & Rasun, Abby Dallas, Turbulence, Prezident Brown, EarthKry and more.

We look forward to what 2021 has in store for the Irie Sounds Crew
