JAMAICAN CULTURE REGGAE

JAHMALI

On the 5th day of April, 1972, Ryan Thomas was born in Race Course, Clarendon, Jamaica.

Early school years had Ryan singing at whatever chance available. Reggae star Coco T is from the same parish was his early influence. Ryan was so influenced by him that he adopted a stage name close to Coco T’s. Ryan T was the name he used in his early recording years.

Although Ryan had a great love for music, he did not, by any means, shortchange his education. He was successful in high school at Vere, where he spent four years. He then moved to Kingston for tertiary education at Mico Teacher's College.

The next few years were to find him in constant deliberation whether he wanted to limit himself to be a class room teacher, or to teach the world by way of his musical message.

He changed his name to Jahmali. Mali means FREE. He decided to take his Culture Message to the world in the form of recording and live performances. He is somewhat of a preacher on stage, a great performer.

He has done recording for some of the biggest name producers in the music industry in Jamaica such as Jammy’s and Penthouse.

Jahmali is on a mission; he wants to share his music and message with the world. He has just ended a very successful European and U.S. with Reggae Superstar Buju Banton.



CAPTAIN NATTY REMO.

Burchell Bailey was born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1969. Young Burchell spent his early years in upper St. Andrew and Spanish Town. His grandmother was responsible for his early upbringing which found him attending church and singing in the choir quite frequently.

After his grandma’s departure from this life, he left to reside in Manchester with the rest of his family, there he really got heavy into the music. He sarted to D.J on sound systems in the Manchester area. DJ’s like Tony Rebel, Bimbo - aka Garnet Silk were his peers.

He migrated to the United States and his musical career was put on hold, as he found himself doing jobs unrelated to music. His undying love for music drove him back to the dancehalls of New York where he became one of the top dancehall DJ in the New York area.
