Jarvis Smith is a musician, evangelist, publisher and TV personality. All of these talents culminate in a career that has focused

on green living, a tenet best illustrated by The Phoenix Rose, which is Jarvis and collaborators Jim Evans-Jones (drums), Rob Tree

(bass), Fingers (guitar), and Reet (vocals). The band has signed the with the UK’s first and only green record company, Archangel

Green, and the recording contract denotes guidelines about travel reduction and worst case, carbon-offsetting travel, green

energy tariffs, and efficient CD production, and the use of enviro-friendly products for promo shoots and appearances.

Jarvis’ talent as a songwriter and his musicianship are used as powerful vehicles for his ‘green’ message; The Phoenix Rose has

performed at Glastonbury, Sunrise and the Bristol Vegan Fayre, and played the main stage at the UK’s Greenest Festival,

Waveform. The band also impressed the star-studded audience at the GG2 Leadership and Diversity Awards, which champions

and recognizes ethnic achievement.

The Phoenix Rose’s music is a melodic blend of reggae, pop and rock, written to infuse the mind and soul with positive vigour and

a feeling of unity, principles of Reiki of which Jarvis is a master. The concept of energy transmission is a driving force; the belief

that sharing knowledge, positivity and understanding is key in Jarvis’ music.

Jarvis Smith wrote the new single, ‘Sick & Tired’ , a call to people who want an end to dictatorships and manipulation, which are

founding causes for the state of our planet. Strong idea, but as Jarvis believes, music is the best way to spread powerful and

determined messages in a peaceful manner. ‘Sick & Tired’ is a catalyst to make people consider their world, and hopefully engages

them to realise their own capability in insisting change.

VIDEO ‘Sick & Tired’ not only speaks of social change, but its actual production further

demonstrates a new way of thinking – the producer of the track, Pete Hammond,

PWL’s mixmaster, who has had no less than 11 No 1 hits in the UK alone, was informed

by the band that he would have to switch to a green tariff before they could work

together (his studio was ultimately powered by 100% renewable, green energy)!

In addition to his music career, Jarvis is the publisher of National Geographic

Green, the UK’s largest ethical business & lifestyle magazine. Jarvis’ publishing experience

is deep, having published a number of other ethical magazines, including

a special green edition of At Home and the Mail on Sunday supplement, Make Your

Money Go Further and Be Kind the Environment.

To further the promotion of environmental concerns, in 2008 Jarvis co-founded

realpeoplepower.org with the Big Issue and to highlight the need for recycling, he

lived on a landfill for Channel 4’s 2007 reality TV show, ‘Dumped.’

‘Sick & Tired’ will be released in Spring/Summer 2010.
