Nigel
Rojas, singer, song-writer, lead guitarist. Born in 1971 in Trinidad.
Started playing guitar and writing at the age of fifteen. Inspired
by Jimmy Hendrix, Bob Marley, Yes, Doors, and the Mighty Shadow to
name a few of the great musical spirits. Orange Peel Groove came together in 1992, Nigel
proving to be a prolific song-writer and multi-faceted musician, cabale
of switching from bass player delivering a hard core bass line, to lead
guitarist with a high energy style incorporating classical,reggae and rock in his unique fusion. Nigel went on to play with band Jaundis "I"
as their bass playerand song writer, delivering
a fusion of Caribbean sounds. They recorded a C.D. between Caribbean Sound
Basin and EddieGrant's Ice Records in Barbados. Nigel's musical progression drove him on to
form Orange Sky, whose music is best described as "Sound Painting." The
music,while highly melodic, is driven at times
by an amazing highenergy that can carry you
through variations and movements of moods and tempo. Rojas says his music is a channel for expression
of his feelings. He believes in one love, one vibe, one movement towards
peace and liberation. The music is organic real music, God's music.
