Rapidly forming a solid following of fans, young and old, who in the throes of this pandemic, have experienced the raw, fun loving, creative energy that Dojo Rise bring to every show.

“Really sinking into that Dub Reggae and Soul sound. They are building the foundation, I think within this country, for that sound, and I absolutely love it” Tyrone Pynor, Triple J. Long-time friends and musical collaborators, Sean Dedrick and Adam Blesing, started writing music during the global pandemic of 2020. Influenced by modern reggae/dub bands like Fat Freddy’s Drop, Stick Figure, The Black Seeds, Fortunate Youth, and many more. They released their first EP in July of that year and had their debut show in 2021 with drummer Anthony Sherwood. The trio have gone on to release 5 singles and a second EP ‘A Better Place’ with singles getting airplay on Triple J and Double J. They have been nominated twice in the South Australian music awards, had a number of sold-out hometown shows and festival appearances, currently sitting on over 80k+ streams on Spotify and are now fast gaining recognition around Australia and internationally.

“It just leans into how great they are as a soulful roots reggae outfit” - Nkechi Anele, Triple J. Dojo Rise are creating a sound that can uplift, inspire, and unite people to create a party vibe like no other. With a debut album currently in the works, and a whole string of shows to come over the next year, there is no stopping the momentum of Dojo Rise.
