META AND THE CORNERSTONES Born in Senegal, West Africa, Meta Dia grew a deep love and true appreciation for all types of music. Moving to the USA in 2002, he began to collaborate with artists such as Sean Blackman, hip-hop pioneer Toni Blackman and many others. Meta's powerful writing skills and his phenomenal singing voice take you back to the roots of Reggae music, as he infuses his songs with hip hop, rock, soul, and African influences, singing in English, French, Wolof and Fulani. The afro-fusion reggae of the Cornerstones and Meta's soulful, soaring voice creates a soul-pounding experience for the audience. The power of what he is contributing is unifying and humbling. Meta and the Cornerstones have something big to offer whoever is listening.
