VI Legendary Artists: Where are they now

The Fabulous Stroka Band has been around for 11 years, they've had 3 different generation of members, but with that they faced many great successes. The band originated in 2004 with their first hit song "Hyper Booty." In the third installment of the band there were a total of 6 members. This band contributed so much to the VI culture, they were the pillar in the community in a sense. Their genre of music was unique in a sense because people where able to relate to it. The members all had a specific gift that contributed to the success of the band. Stroka Band performed at various venues and numerous islands. They even won road match for some of these islands. Although we were a bit younger then we remember we wouldn't go anywhere without hearing songs from this now legendary band. A few of the hits over the years include "Leh Go, Wire Waist, and many more. They really knew how to pull any crowd, doesn't matter the venue, it would be done. They even worked with some big names we know today. I'm sure you guys are aware of Mango Man Big band's Drummer, we were told he once worked with the band, fast forward to couple years later and he is part of this epic band himself. Swanks which is member of "Big Band" would match the Riddim man for Stroka Band and the band often wondered who was this kid. Look at where Swanks is today he is part of one of the most talented bands out right now and we're not saying that's because Stroka but they definitely seemed to have a positive influence. He attended Central High School at the time. We sat with one of the singers of Stroka Band "Jahmal Miranda" to receive some insight on the band and where they are today. Everyone is pretty much still in touch, but doing their own thing these days. We can't say too much but they might be something in the works we just have to stay tuned. These days Mr.Miranda is a proud owner of his very own restaurant JV Diner and very much in love with all the joys of food and being a professional chef. We couldn't receive the scoop on the other members as detailed but we hear they're doing just fine after an 11 year run. He is also working on an independent music project which is on the low for now. Stroka Paved the way for the bands we have present today as one of most successful band of their era. The representation of the VI that this band demonstrated was astonishing. Thank you to the Fabulous Stroka Band for paving the way for future artists and bands we have in our mist today. We appreciate Mr.Miranda for taking the time to give us some much needed information on where the band is now.
