If rock ever had a message it’s ‘Be Yourself.’ As guitarist of Living Colour Vernon Reid embraces this ideal but with a twist. He’s always wanted to be everything else as well. Along with his fellow bandmembers, Reid’s musical style and taste reject boundaries. Which is why, past the unifying concept that Living Colour are and continue to be one of the most significant Black American rock acts of recent times, tracing the band's influence can provide a difficult task. Rock, funk, metal, hip hop, jazz, blues, Motown, new wave, soul and psychedelia – they’ve touched it all yet their magpie mentality hasn’t always been something which was working to their advantage.

Steering his mind to music he found company with a group of like minded individuals. They called themselves The Citradels.
