MOBADASS frontman Earl Pereira got his start in the music business as the bassist and co-founder of multi-platinum, three-time Juno nominee, Wide Mouth Mason. As a group, Wide Mouth Mason released five major label albums, performed over two-thousand shows, had numerous radio hits and music videos, and received many industry awards.
Looking for a creative outlet for his unique 'Island Rock' style of music, Pereira started MOBADASS as a side project in 2004. “I wanted to make music that would honour my Filipino-Canadian heritage, a project where I could mix reggae, electro-rock, dance, and soul…I’m just lucky that people ended up loving it!” said Pereira in a recent interview.
