Anthony Bailey, whose true identity is concealed behind his long bronze-colored dread locks, forces fans to feel his vibe his guitar. A man of immeasurable talent, Bailey affectionately called “Rebel”, provides krosfyah with the unadulterated street-savvy, which helps to keep the band members connected to their roots. Rebel is so full of character and personality that he can be described as intense. His musical background is in hard rock and the blues. In fact when the guys first met him, he was a "raggedy" looking guy, sitting on the corner of the road playing blues riffs; a total rebel, but with musical talent "you could feel in your soul". It took some coaxing to get him to join the founding members, "I was pretty rough in those days, and they looked so clean cut." Persistence paid off, and Tony’s infectious character prevailed, to the point where the band took on his style and image. Rebel is krosfyah’s guitarist and a truly talented composer and songwriter. Tony and Edwin are often referred to as the Simon and Garfunkle of Soca music. In 1996 he made his solo debut at the "Edwin- the Concert" production in Barbados, with a self penned bitter sweet blues piece in the style of "Wah-Wah" Watson, performed with such depth, that he mesmerized the audience and the international press who attended. His guitar versatility and vocal skills extend to Soca and Reggae, and add a unique dimension to the total krosfyah product, as does his dramatic stage presence and performance. Rebel dropped his ever soothing Album entitled "Unheard Message" in the summer of 2002, with memorable hits such as All I Need, Call Me, Cell Block 3, Waiting on Love among others. It's a must have for your CD collection. Since then, he has created household favourites such as Sweetest Thing, which won him Best Ragga Soca Male at the 2006 Barbados Music Awards, for 2007 All my Life & Got this Feeling, followed up by Cheenatonah for 2008 and She Going Down in 2009.
