Tomorrow People 　　From their humble beginnings in a garage to an award-winning debut album, Wellington band Tomorrow People has sped up the ranks and continues to go from strength to strength. A studio project turned live stage show, the seven-piece band are purveyors of what they describe as ‘sunshine reggae’. Focusing on providing a mid-tempo sound that, while clearly reggae-centric, adds touches of dancehall ragga to its colour. It is a sound built around strong vocals, soothing harmonies, catchy hooks, aggressive ragga raps and feel good riddims. 　　 　　Together the members have decades of experience in the music industry with previous careers in hip-hop, R’n’B, gospel, funk and soul. Taking their name from the Ziggy Marley song, Tomorrow People live up to the futuristic allusions it casts, having built their fan base via social media and demo tracks uploaded to YouTube. While they gather their musical influences from Jamaican and Hawaiian artists alike, once combined with their roots in NZ music, they bring a sound that is clean, laid-back and easy on the eardrums. 　　 　　They have built their movement predominantly through their live shows and the online world. The result of their hard work is evidence by having more than five million views of their songs and countless YouTube remakes and remixes from around the globe.
