Tubby Love is a singer, songwriter, producer, and performer evolving from his roots in soul, reggae, folk, rock, and hip-hop music into a pop-forward new era shaped by uplifting hooks, polished melodies, emotional storytelling, and feel-good live energy.

​

Originally from Savannah, Georgia, and later deeply connected to the creative and roots-music community of Kauai, Hawaii, Tubby Love has spent more than a decade building a devoted grassroots following through music rooted in message, movement, and community. His early releases introduced an artist with a genre-blending voice: part roots reggae, part soul, part acoustic storyteller, and part explosive live performer. From the beginning, his work carried a spirit of optimism and human connection, pairing universal themes of love, gratitude, and personal transformation with infectious rhythm and melody.

​

That foundation grew through releases including Love Is Alive, Waves, Red Road Soul, The Deep South Sessions, and the beloved Campfire Anthems series with Paul Izak. Across his catalog, Tubby Love has collaborated with and appeared alongside artists including Trevor Hall, Xavier Rudd, Sam Garrett, Satsang, Mike Love, and Rising Appalachia. His music has traveled from intimate gatherings to major festival stages at California Roots, ARISE, Shangri-La, Envision Festival, BaliSpirit Festival, including support slots with artists Jack Johnson and Trevor Hall.

​

To date, Tubby Love’s catalog has generated more than 20 million streams across 159 countries, reaching listeners in more than 80% of the world’s countries and territories. That global footprint reflects the unusual staying power of his music: songs built outside the mainstream system that have continued to move through communities, playlists, festivals, and word-of-mouth discovery over time.

​

Now entering Tubby Love 2.0, he is bringing the warmth, message, and musicality of his soul, reggae, and roots into a brighter, more commercially accessible pop framework. Think the sincerity and acoustic ease of Jason Mraz, the groove and charisma of Bruno Mars, the laid-back heart of Jack Johnson, and the message-driven spirit of Trevor Hall and Ziggy Marley - filtered through a voice and story that are distinctly his own.

​

With a renewed creative vision, a full rebrand, and an active release schedule, Tubby Love is not returning to the past. He is using the foundation that built his career to step into a bigger chapter: polished, emotionally direct, rhythmically alive, and ready to bridge the grassroots community that has always believed in him with the broader pop audience he is now ready to reach.
