Busy Signal is a Reggae act. Their sound grew out of Walshy Fire, Serani, Kenza Farah, Gappy Ranks and Christopher Martin. Those roots explain a lot about how Busy Signal arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Demarco, Romain Virgo, Tarrus Riley, Christopher Martin and Aidonia, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Original Koffee, Admiral T, Koffee, Rebelution and Gentleman's Dub Club, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
