Nastajah Artists

"I was born in Kingston, Jamaica. I grew up in a musical surrounding. Every beat of my heart rings out a melody. I remembered the first song I wrote, "Joy Bells Are Ringing", that was it! Then, the songs just kept on coming. I was just ten years young. I wanted to play all the musical instruments... anything that would ring out a melody and when my grandma told my mom, "si him hafe be a sing-a". Thats all I wanted to hear. Next thing I knew, I was in church singing. From that day forward I'm still riding the melodies of time. I have recorded, produced and composed great bass lines for such artists as Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus, Judy Mowatt, Israel Vibration, Sugar Minott, King Sound, Lee Scratch Perry, The Mighty Diamonds, The Itals, Prince Ital Joe, Zema, Johnny Rivers, Luke "D", The Light of Saba, Ijahman Levi, Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, Dennis Brown, The Heptones, Keith Poppin, Jimmy London, Electric Dread, Inner Circle, and many, many more. I could go on and on. I've paid my dues. I have humbled myself in the name of Jah Rastafar-I. Selah. The lion will live to see Jah glory."

I am a proud native of Shreveport, La. [G.R.I.T.S. is what my girls call it, that’s girls raised in the south. Hey, even Maze has a song about Southern Girlz.] I’m bringing a little southern flavor to you. You know we believe in seasoning! I would classify my music as Soulful Pop with a dab of country. There is a message in the music, it is all about LOVE. And we all know GOD is Love. It hits topics like forgiveness, appreciation, unity, self-love and more.

Although the project was produced in Cali, you can bet you will recognize that there is something different about it. I have been writing since age 8. This project gives me the opportunity to use my God-given Gift to deliver His message of LOVE and Truth. Although I had some songs already recorded, Decton Mitchell aka Ironside was a God send bringing in some more awesome musicians and producers. He executive produced the remainder of the project (7 live music tracks, one track from his son and the remainder of the mixing). Do you know how hard it is to get live music without a budget? Unless of course you are a member of a band like these guys. He had a connect with the band and I was able to get REAL LIVE Music. He also along with Robert White brought in Rick Clifford, Engineer extraordinaire. The tracks you are hearig on this page were not mixed by him, these are just roughs. Imagine how great it will sound when it’s done.

..on’s first contribution was the music to "Jah Lives" a Bob Marley remake. The guys did an awesome job. All other lyrics and melodies were written by me except Come On and Holy co-written with Emanual Officer, Love Comes with Robert "Storm" Daniels (brother), and I Adore You with Robert White. Producers and musicians are Stan Wallace, Chaz Mohammad, Corn Austin, Baby Boy, Bryan James, Haile Maskel, Patrick Ross, Eric Endo, Josh C., ShakaMan, Al, Rudy, Storm, and Degesun & J. Some awesome background singers and dear friends: Joel Bowers, Peter Jamerson, Christalyn Metoyer, Crystal Drummer, Miatta Snetter, Emanual Officer, and R. White. I’m still working on this section, so give me a minute. Sounds Like
