Higher Level band was recently founded (2007) by a group of mainly young Statian students pursuing their education in the Netherlands. Some band members reside in St. Eustatius. Naturally talented, the group was formed out of a need for young Caribbean nationals and Antilleans to stay in tune with their musical roots.
The group will be home for the summer where they will perform for the first time during a series of events to be staged during the annual Statia Summer Fest.
Band members are:
Rurike Redan (a.k.a Daddy Rike (Drummer)
