About - Rocksteady TNT
Hello, I’m Kelly Marshall, the musician behind Rocksteady TNT—a solo project rooted in ska, rocksteady, and reggae. Based in Glasgow, I’m a multi-instrumentalist who writes, records, and performs everything myself, moving between bass, guitar, keys, saxophone, clarinet, melodica, violin, accordion, mandolin, bouzouki, tambura, percussion, and occasional vocals.
Rocksteady TNT began in 1999. Early recordings were made in a studio using multi-tracking, but the project has since evolved into a fully home-recorded setup using Logic Pro. I use purchased drum and percussion loops, primarily from Big Fish Audio. The loops I rely on most often are Reggae Brawlers: Ska & Rocksteady Kits and Babylon: Roots Reggae.
Some lyrics are developed with the assistance of AI tools, and this is always clearly credited. The music itself, however, is entirely human-made. Most of my work is instrumental and does not involve AI.
If you’re interested in collaborating, feel free to get in touch.
