"Don’t make the assumption however, that this is just another reggae band. ‘Fully Loaded’ is versatile to say the least, fusing different genres into their performances.... expect to see roles being switched with smooth transition, truly showcasing that the band is Fully Loaded by name and by nature." - Young, Fabulous and Bajan

Bio
The FullyLoaded Band is steadily climbing the ladder to success, this being evidenced by its nominations at the 2011 Barbados Music Awards including the nomination for Band of the Year and Band of the Decade. This bears testimony to the fan based claim, that The FullyLoaded Band is the premier Reggae band in Barbados. The band, which features Barbados' Reggae Artiste of the Year 2010 and currently for 2011, Buggy Nhakente on Lead Vocals, Daniel Medford - Keyboards/Vocals, Mikey Ross - Keyboards/Vocals, Rhesa Garnes and Tabitha Johnson – Vocals, David Haynes – Musical Director/Bass and Jamal Browne on Drums, is a group of exceptionally talented musicians.
FullyLoaded’s repertoire includes not only traditional Reggae, but also fusions of Reggae with R&B, Soca and even Spouge; they take you on a Reggae Experience that you will not forget. With their unlimited choices of music, they bring back memories and help to create new exciting ones. The FullyLoaded band’s original music brings to light the motto of the band “Upliftment through Music”, as the music that they create and bring to people, is based on strong, powerful messages that not only motivate and enlighten, but share love and give hope. This is demonstrated in the strong music released to date which include “Shine the Light”, the thought provoking song “Soldier” and the melodic plea in “Gunman”
Every Wednesday night they bring the Reggae Experience to McBrides' in St Lawrence Gap for Reggae Wednesdays; where not only they have cultivated a following of locals, but also of visitors who come back regularly to see them. Their talents not only lie in rocking the clubs and promoted events, as they are also a fantastic backing band having backed many local artistes from varied genres and international artistes from Jamaica, Trinidad and the UK.
The FullyLoaded Band has been commended on the excellent performances at many of the major shows held in Barbados such as Reggae on the Hill, The Barbados Music Festival, The Beres Hammond Show - 2 Worlds Collide, also at Queen Ifrica & Tony Rebel, and many other events. It is these stellar performances that have helped catapult FullyLoaded into the spotlight and hearts of fans, locally and regionally. In this spotlight, FullyLoaded’s focus is on the exposure of local reggae talent; in their pursuit of one of their goals of getting Barbados to be seen globally as a source of great reggae music.
Versatile, charismatic and the personification of Reggae entertainment, The Fully Loaded Band is truly an asset to any event. Let them take you on a phenomenal Reggae Journey as they share….
Upliftment through music!
