Kologne (also known as Singing Cologne), originally from Lindstead, Jamaica, was discovered in the 1990s by Fattis ‘Xterminator’ Burrel, who introduced him to the legend Sizzla – with whom Kologne went on his first European tour in the early 2000s. Over the years, Kologne has collaborated with greats such as Roots Radics, Linval Thompson, Max Romeo, Disciples, Inner Sanctuary, Black Redemption and many others. Forward Fever and Kologne first crossed paths in 2022 at Dub Revolution. The connection was instant, and since then they have been working together regularly on new releases. They have also shared the stage at events such as Reggae Geel and Melkweg Amsterdam with King Shiloh.
