PRINCE BLANCO BIO
Prince Blanco (Mark Matthews) is an award-winning singer and musician based in Toronto Canada. Born and raised in the UK, he grew up heavily influenced by classic Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae music along with late '70s punk rock and the ska-fuelled 2-Tone sound.

Eventually relocating across the Atlantic, he became involved in the vibrant Canadian ska and reggae scenes, touring throughout the '90s as a drummer and vocalist with The Skanksters, releasing the acclaimed album ‘Dub Cookery’ (Simmerdown USA) in 1997. The group eventually morphed into the dub-conscious Boogiewall Soundsystem collective in 2001 where Blanco was featured heavily on their album ‘Super My Own Band’ (OhmGrown/Universal). From 2001 to 2004 he was a singer and percussionist with Carib-Funk big band, The Liquidaires, releasing three albums 'Amore', 'Lookin' Up' and 'Meeting Place' (MojoBrand/Independent).
