Biography

Selwyn 'Bumbo' Brown has been responsible for keyboards with Steel Pulse since he joined the band at the very beginning of their existence. Like the others in the band, he had to learn how to play from scratch and he's combined that with songwriting and backing vocals, often rapping live on stage. A Londoner by birth (4/6/58) though schooled in Handsworth, Selwyn has remained an intrinsic part of the band, along with Hinds, from their early success with Handsworth Revolution through to their latest album release, African Holocaust. He now shares keyboard duties with the well-respected Sidney Mills for live performances, with the band continuing to tour the US every year as well as additional festivals across Europe and elsewhere. With Steve 'Grizzly' Nisbett retiring from touring and recording, it's Selwyn and David Hinds who remain at the creative core of Steel Pulse. His son Derrick was the band's keyboard technician and is a rap artist in his own right.
