“Finally! A fat, fragrant sack of rugged roots reggae celebrating life’s organic pleasures.”
-Vibe Magazine, Rob Kenner

“He does sound like is a plaintive on drop crooner of the same class as I Wayne or Bascom X at his best, with a powerful emotional catch to his voice and a distinctly Bermudian lilt.”
-Fader Magazine, Edwin “Stats” Houghton

“The rustic, bittersweet sound of his tenor reaches emotional depths you normally wouldn’t associate with any 25 year old. Yet, this talented singer and skilled lyricist is sitting on the brink of stardom…”
Jamrock Magazine, Rhona Fox

“Collie Buddz is being tapped by heavyweights like DJs Bobby Konders and Jabba as the next big Reggae star.”
-MTV.COM, Shaheem Reid

“For reggae music, 2007 will be a turning point in the music’s growth and progression with the emergence of Bermuda native, Colin Harper, better known as his musical alter-ego, Collie Buddz.”
-The Hilltop Newspaper (Howard University), Brittany Hutson

Bermuda-born deejay Collie Buddz who is now based in the US, has been making quite an impact with his tune 'Come Around.' Signed to Sony Music in the US, Collie Buddz is the sole reggae act working with the label at the moment. In the past, acts such as Tiger, Tony Rebel, Diana King, Mad Cobra, Tanto Metro and Devonte, Shabba Ranks, Super Cat and Patra were signed to various Sony Music subsidiaries.

'Come Around' is expected to jump start the pending major label debut for the white deejay. The track recently topped the BBC 1Xtra. Dancehall chart in the UK. It is still the top seller on the reggae charts in Germany. On local soil, 'Come Around' has hit two charts.

The video clip for 'Come Around' was recently shot on location here in Jamaica. It was directed by Ras Kassa the Guru.
