Zebulun de Counselor is coming home

Mar 27, 2010 News

The artiste Zebulun de Counselor might not be among the more popular names announced, following a selection on local radio but it certainly is a name getting recognition internationally in the reggae and culture music realm.
In fact, he is a 2010 New Jersey Reggae Music Awards winner and has confirmed that he will be among the Guyanese artistes in the diaspora heading home as a nominee at the upcoming Guyana Artistic Music Awards slated for April 25 at the National Cultural Centre.
Zebulun De Counselor has been writing and performing music for over 16 years. Born and raised in Guyana, he moved to the United States in 1989 where he spent a few years in the sound system business on Jah Legacy Sound.
Soon after, Zebulun returned to his first love; recording music. He joined up with Sharp Edge Studio, then RockStar Studio out of New Jersey and produced multiple singles.
The first was “Give Praises” which was featured on the Onward Riddim. Artists such as Capleton, Richie Spice and Les were also featured on the album. Zebulun’s “Give Praises” was added into rotation after about a month on the streets.
“When you cold girl” was the second single to hit the airwaves, this song gave him a sudden surge of popularity around the tri-state area (NYC, NJ, CT). Without the support of a major record label its hard to penetrate the Jamaican market. However, “Give Praise” is the single that is breaking international waters. Although it has taken more than a decade to reach this level, Zebulun never lost his faith that it would happen. “Righteous music is positive music, at the end of the day righteousness stands” he is quoted as saying.
With his love for Rastafari and life itself, Zebulun’s future looks bright. To date, Zebulun has about 25 singles and each one has found a place in the hearts of the people who love Zebulun’s music.
