Kingfisha have a deep respect for reggae and its origins. They have taken the Jamaican rhythms and infused them with honest songwriting and strong melodies to create their own sound… Honest, Aussie Reggae.
They began as a studio project with Anthony Forrest, Andrew Stephens and Shannon Green, following the disbandment of dub/electro act Promiscuous.

Their infectious sound and engaging live show has been recruiting Bomba lovers around the country for the last four years.
