Double Tiger is no stranger to critical acclaim. Best known for his decade-long work with progressive reggae powerhouse John Brown’s Body, Spaker has toured nationally and internationally alongside artists like Rebelution, Chronixx, Slightly Stoopid, Stick Figure, Morgan Heritage, Dirty Heads, Thievery Corporation, and many more. He also co-founded Dub-Stuy Records, and has collaborated with a who’s-who of reggae luminaries including Luciano, Johnny Osbourne, Lutan Fyah, Omar Perry, Eek-A-Mouse, Scientist, Rankin Joe, Brother Culture, and of course, Sly & Robbie.
His debut full-length Sharp & Ready debuted at #3 on the iTunes Reggae Chart and #5 on the Billboard Reggae Albums Chart, while 2020’s The Journey reached #2 and #4 respectively, and was submitted for Grammy Award consideration. The latter featured appearances from Slightly Stoopid, The Movement, New Kingston, Arise Roots, and was spotlighted on the Hulu series High Fidelity soundtrack.
Whether performing solo or with his full band, Double Tiger’s live show is a burning blend of modern soul roots reggae, early dancehall, and UK-style dub sensibility. His vocal approach moves from singjay style to rapid-fire militancy, covering love songs, anthems, and social commentary—anchored by a pulsing rhythm section and vibrant horn arrangements that keep crowds engaged and chanting.
“Double Tiger is that something special that the American reggae scene has been waiting for... primed & ready to make waves.” — Rootfire
