Artist of the Month - Cookie the Herbalist

COOKIE THE HERBALIST
Like many other Reggae artists, Stefano Raschi a.k.a Cookie the Herbalist made his
first steps on stage at a very young age. He started singing in a churchchoir in Italy when
he was only six years old. The last years he used to tour althrough
Switzerland with many different Hip Hop acts and with his Homesound the Bombo Clan
Soundsystem. Cookie was to be heard on countless Mixtapes and on various CD’s of the Bombo Clan Sound. Even a combination with the hyped UK-Mc’s of the London Zoo was
recorded and found it’s way to English Radiostations. But all that should only be the
beginning.

Since 2007 Cookie the Herbalist is a part of the Gideon Production Artistcamp, and
summer 2007 was already a very promising start of that collaboration.
As supportact on Jah Masons Tour he appeared at the Rototom Sunsplash in Italy
(the biggest Reggae festival in Europe) and at the Rumble Reggae Festival in Germany. In Interlaken (Switzerland) he was even the
supportact for Ziggy Marley. He hosted the Dancehallschool-partyseries @ Kiff club in
Aarau and also the Swiss Singjay Linkup @ Schützi Olten. In 2008 he toured without
break trough almost every Swiss club, like the Gaskessel in Bienne the Kofmehl in
Solothurn, the Kiff in Aarau, the Schützi in Olten, the Grabenhalle in St. Gallen just to
name a few.

In January 2008, Cookie released the song „Don’t you tell me“ on Rootdown Records I love – Riddim. This song made it to almost every swiss radiostation and was celebrated over months by the biggest swiss Internet radio DRS Virus. In septemer 2008 Cookie the Herbalist’s first official EP „The Good Weed“ was released. It contains riddims of european Reggae giants like the Ganglords or the House of Riddim Band. Even a combination
with Switzerlands Reggae star Cali P is to be heard on it. The „Good Weed“ – EP is also available online, worldwide on every downloadshop.

After countless shows and an outstanding EP in just one year, we can be very interested for what Cookie will bring out next year! The young
singjay with the loud and unique voice is already working on new songs, even an album
is planned and there are many more shows on the program. Cyaan stop!
