Pressure Busspipe
Reggae Singer
Pressure Busspipe (Delyno Brown), is one of the U.S. Virgin Island’s premier
Reggae Artists. His introduction to music came at a very early age as his
father was part of a local band on St. Thomas. Pressure eventually got
involved with a young seven-member local band, Star Lion Family Reggae
Group, which performed with popular artists like Capleton, Buju Banton,
Bunny Wailer and Junior Reid. After the group broke up, Pressure Busspipe
continued in a solo capacity, opening for artists such as the well-known
Sizzla and Elephant Man. In 2005, with Dean Pond and Eno Stafford of
Studio 340, Pressure released his debut Album, The Pressure Is On, on the
Tsuni Records label. The debut album included the hits Zion Is Home, No
Limitation, and Light In You.
The debut album caught the attention of internationally renowned
producer Don Corleon, who later produced Pressure’s mega-hit Love and
Affection which was included in the 2007 Reggae Gold compilation series. In
2009, Pressure again teamed up with Producer Dean Pond and the album,
Coming Back for You was released to rave reviews in the U.S. and European
markets. Pressure is continuing to leave his mark on the Reggae world with
his Africa Redemption and his lovers rock album, Red Rose.
Pressure Busspipe will be performing in Canada at the 2017 Calgary
ReggaeFest to be held on August 17th to 19th.
