Krooked Treez

Founded by O Brown, a Belizean/Mexican American MC who first broke into the scene as a protégé of Cypress Hill’s B-Real, Southern California band Krooked Treez vibe is a mix of Reggae, Rap and Alternative Rock mixed to provide a backdrop for poignant lyrics about struggle, triumph and the beauty of life.

Named after Crooked Tree, a small town in Belize where O Brown draws his roots, Krooked Treez formed after a collaboration between O Brown and Belizean Reggae & R&B singer BZ-Bwai. With O Brown's hard knocks, heartfelt lyricism, and BZ-Bwai’s harmonic soulful and smooth vocals, the band is rounded out with California original bassist Bobby Zen, guitarist extraordinaire Josh Stoney Eye and drummer David Cisneros who combine their rich sounds to create wholly-unique sounds.

Krooked Treez was voted The Pier’s “Breakout Artist of The Year” by fans of the reggae-rock genre. The band quickly gained momentum from an ever-growing fan-base with their debut CD "Higher Place" released in 2013. Krooked Treez new album, BORN CALIZEANS, is their highly-anticipated follow up with collab-heavy tracks featuring Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, Sid Wilson of Slipknot, Kemo of Delinquent Habits, Moi of Tomorrows Bad Seeds, Karim Israel of Arise Roots, Tim Burton of the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones, and Brevi.

The band has rocked a jam-packed House of Blues on the Sunset Strip, rode the buzz of a successful appearance on the 311 Cruise and have performed mainstage at major music festivals, such as Russia's famed Kubana Festival, performing for an audience of nearly 100,000, as well as the Cali Roots Festival, South Park Music Fest, Blaze N Glory, Shoreline Jam, and Bay Area Vibez festivals to name a few. They have performed with major acts as Bassnectar, Nas, Dirty Heads, Matisyahu, Slightly Stoopid, Korn, System of a Down, Rebelution, Ziggy and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Stephen “Ragga” Marley, Steel Pulse, Pepper, System of a Down, WuTang, Katchafire, SOJA and Iration.
