ULAN "Maffie" ATWELL was born in the city of Georgetown, on the island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, in the Caribbean. As a young boy growing up in Georgetown Maffie remembers singing a song called "Row Me "Over the Tide Boat Man and "Come On Ring Those belles" which he learnt from his mother. He performed this song with his sister at a function in December 1985 and won first place. Since his school days Maffie knew that he was blessed with a creative ability and when he turned his attention to woodworking, he was chosen as the best artist in his class. Later, Maffie turned his attention to Skin Diving but deep down inside Maffie always knew that he was destined to be a musician. So he turned his attention back to what he loves best and he began his musical career as a panist in 1991. He performed in the Pan Festival in St Vincent and the Grenadines Carnival and played in several different locations on the island. Later, Maffie moved on to be a drummer for the band "We Boy Country Style" from 1992 to 1994. He immigrated to Vancouver, British Columbia in 1995 and since then Maffie has been strengthening and developing his musical abilities. It was in 1999 after a lot of hard work that Maffie exploded into the music scene in Vancouver with his first album call "Sweet Wine" which he composed and produced in association with Dan Shallow. One year later in June 2000, Maffie took his musical abilities to higher heights, producing his own debut album in 2001 call "Juk Juk Passy." Exactly one year later in 2002 Maffie came out with his second album, "On Strike," which included the popular song "Pum Pum On Strike. This album reached number 4 on the top ten music charts in his homeland St. Vincent and the Grenadines and remained one of the most popular carnival tunes for that year. In 2003 Maffie produced his third album called "Shake Shake". This album also includes some hot reggae and Soca tracks as well. 2004 May 15th Maffie produce Sam Hope and family first album call Unity reggae and Soca mix and Master by Maffie and Arrange by Sam hope.

He functions as an arranger, composer and producer of all his CDs. He is constantly striving to be a better artist and to expand his musical career. Work has now been completed on one of his recent album produced in association with African artist Silas Sajjabi. The album was officially released at a spectacular function at the Croatian Center in Vancouver on July 17th, 2004. It is called "Somebody Is Watching Me" and work has also been completed on his 2005 album, l "Represent 2005" which is a very exciting and versatile CD. Maffie has recently complete Working on his New Album call "Revolution". Currently working on the Reload of the Maffie for 2007 better known as the best of the Maffie from 2001 to 2005. Other highlights from Maffie's Career: In October 2002, Maffie organized a band called Maffie and Crew. The band members, internationally known as 'The Crew', derived from the Caribbean and are now focused on their objective, to bring a Caribbean vibe to the industry locally, regionally and internationally. Their stage performance is incomparable to any other artist throughout the Lower Mainland. Each performance is filled with high energy and precision. It contains a magnificent display of dance flavor, originality, versatility and creative musical interpretations. The band induces their fans across the country into soca frenzy by performing their own original music and they are certainly on their way to become one of the best Soca band in Western Canada. In 2002 Maffie and Crew opened a show for renowned Vincentian artist, Alston Becket Cyrus at the Jewish Community Center in Vancouver. From opening band Maffie and Crew moved on to being the back-up band for another famous Vincentian performer, Winston Soso. On July 28th 2003, Maffie performed solo with the Caribbean & African Dancers for the Caribbean Days Festival 2003 at Waterfront Park in Vancouver. Later on August 31st 2003, this avid performer and his Crew took center stage again as they performed for the African day Celebrations at the Croatian Center in Vancouver. Maffie performed alongside the popular African singer Kibwe and other popular performers such as Masabo. He performed recently at the Caribbean Days Festival 2004 at North Vancouver's Waterfront Park, the Maple Ridge Annual Street Festival and the Afro-Carib Festival in Victoria.
