Jah Mason originates from the parish of Manchester, Jamaica. He was raised in a musically focused family and environment.
He impacted on the reggae world, working with Junior Reid with his first release in 1991, Selassie I Name Me A Call.
He went on to join Capleton’s David House and work with luminary artists and labels such as Tony Rebel, Jah Cure, Ghetto Youths and VP Records and released seminal recordings such as Never Give Up, Princess Gone and Wheat and Tears.
Mixing his renowned ‘fire-brand’ vocal skills in the tradition of Sizzla, Capleton & Anthony B with a strong singing voice, Jah Mason represents the new breed of contemporary and conscious reggae dancehall artists firmly grounded in Rastafari (specifically Bobo Ashanti) belief and traditions.
