James D’Lonsod, best known to the public as “CoolieDread” works as the premier dancehall reggae artist in the Philippines. CoolieDread got his start performing by drumming for HERBS in 1998 and they released their eponymous album in 2002. As a professional film sound engineer, it comes as no surprise that producing music drew his interest and after HERBS disbanded in 2005, he formed CoolieDread and the Microphone Commanders (CDMC). From there it only took a year to win the Motorola Rock’moto contest in 2006. CDMC toured heavily in the archipelago winning fans and support for his unique style of dancehall reggae. 2009 brought an invitation to join Jr. Kilat as their touring/sampling DJ. CoolieDread’s personally produced tracks and beats meshed well with Jr. Kilat’s sound. Soon after SigbinHaus SoundSystem appeared joining these musical artists together with Budoy as one sound in festivals. Represented the Philippines in Shanghai World Expo 2010.
CoolieDread worked on projects with Jr. Kilat, Cattski, Gaucho, Milagros Dancehall Collective, Lady-I and many others. Launched his Skank and Groove Records Label early 2020 and produced the music of CDMC (his band), as well as ArchieMan, JCOY, TYO aka Uncle Skank, Jaz, Michal Garcia (Canada), Robbie Ranks (Manila), Johnson Levi (France), Martin Buchanan (UK, Jamaica), and DoRock (Japan). He just released his latest beat riddim album "Southside Dancehall" last October 16, 2024. Go check it on all streaming platforms.
