A native of Detroit, Jus Goodie's been steeped in the Motown tradition. He's also absorbed R&B and Hip Hop vibes, which turned up expertly on some of this short "best of" list, some drawn from his first collection “Freedom Song,” which was released in collaboration with the ZionWay recordings. Other featured songs are straight-ahead Reggae: all well-written, uptempo, uplifting lyrics that showcase Goodie's fiery but pure-hearted energy.

Rhythm out-takes and singles are planned, along with the development and integration of Goodie’s new production efforts with multi-instrumentalist, and talented producer Ben Krames.

Jus Goodie was bit by the Reggae bug when he made a life changing trip to Jamaica at the age of 14. As a budding musician, he adopted the Jamaican vocal stylings and command of the stage that the top Caribbean artists wield effortlessly. He’s a wicked MC and a superb guitarist. He's road managed and backed some key names in the business - including Sugar Minott - who featured Goodie at his own ‘Reggae in the Hills’ festival, which takes place in Jamaica. Others include Everton Blender, Junior Toots, Abijah & Dub Station. Opening stints have spanned acts like Luciano and Sizzla, Damien Marley and Anthony B, Gregory Isaacs, and many more.

Touring as a headliner has taken Jus Goodie up to the Midwest - up and down the West Coast - and out to Hawaii. He's taken the stage at the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, Monterey Bay, the Calgary Reggae Festival, and was brought up by Matisyahu to sing with him at Reggae on the Rocks. Jus Goodie is a well-seasoned performer, ready for any stage or audience.
