“Maverick Sabre is the amazing contradiction between cultures and genres: Ireland and England, hip-hop, reggae and folk” Clash Music
Born in London but raised in Wexford, Maverick Sabre first picked up a guitar at the age of 8 and has been playing ever since.
On hitting his teenage years Maverick began performing on the Irish hip-hop scene. Through groups like Rap Ireland and Urban Intelligence, support slots ensued for The Game, Lloyd Banks and Plan B, who subsequently suggested a move to London should be on the cards for him.
Once London based, collaborations with rapper Professor Green and electro dance duo Chase & Status followed.
With his debut album nearing completion, Maverick Sabre has been out on the road again with a support slot on the Snoop Dogg UK tour. He is also set to perform at Oxegen Festival this Summer.
The debut album is set for release in October 2011. Don’t miss Maverick performing on The Late Late Show on RTE 1 from 9.30pm.
“Spitting out seething bass-centric nocturnal explosions of knowledge and frustrations, he’s chasing the lightning bolts that Dizzee Rascal has been known to hurl into the street” (Clash magazine)
“The lush but spacious production is pure Mark Ronson-does-Motown while the horns have Stax appeal and Stafford’s vocal features all the mannerisms and melismas you’d expect.” (The Guardian)
