Blackberry Sound Crew

 

 

The Blackberry Sound Crew is arguably one of today’s premiere West Indian disc jockeys and entertainment groups. The group had its humble beginnings almost 14 years ago. What started as an idea born out of a hobby and passion for music had now evolved into a musically inspiring experience. 

In 1995, Neil Severin and Stephen Alleyne decided to upgrade their portable Discman and RadioShack mixer that served as their apartment’s sound system and stress reliever for Steve, to more modern DJ equipment. At this point, long time friend and fellow music fanatic Bert Gregoire was introduced to the idea and the Blackberry Sound Crew was formed.

What started originally as "house party" entertainment changed gears with a new vision of filling an apparent void in the parties in Toronto due to the lack of Dominican music. From here on out it became the group’s mission to be heard not only by fellow Dominicans but also the overall West Indian community as well as the international community. 

With the encouragement and backing of close friends, they held their first public event in 1996 at the Fit for Life Racquet Club. From this point on there was no looking back for the group as they began playing at night clubs all over the city like Sandos and Flavour. As the word of the sound crew started spreading, the crowds grew rapidly and so did the invitations to play at the biggest soca events in Toronto.  People had taken notice and were rather supportive of what the group was trying to accomplish as their music is now being heard all over.  The popularity of the group continues to grow in Dominica, Miami and New York.  From weddings, carnivals, radio appearances, boat cruises, fetes, and countless CODA functions, the mission of the group remains the same. All the continuing hard work required in keeping this business / entertainment machine running is a testament to the teamwork of all who are involved. The countless late nights, hauling of equipment, planning of events, promotion, and partying have made and continued to make their journey a labor of love.

 

Members include: Stephen Alleyne, Bert Greogoire and Neil Severin.
