Deep Jahi

The large number of patrons who turned out at Wednesday night's staging of 100 Live at 100 Sports Bar on Hope Road in St Andrew were treated to high-energy performances. Sponsored by Appleton Estate, 100 Live is held on the last Wednesday of each month.

Dubbed Rebels in Music, the event kicked off with a performance from newcomer Artikal, a budding artiste whose father is 1990s deejay New Kidz.

“It was an absolute pleasure performing here tonight. The feedback was encouraging,” Artikal told Jamaica Observer's weekly Auto magazine.

He warmed the audience with his positive lyrics to which the crowd responded favourably.

One-time Magnum King of the Dancehall winner Deep Jahi was next and he took the proceedings to another level performing songs from his forthcoming EP titled Gifted.

“Mi love how the people interacted with me and I also interacted with them. 100 Live was a good look,” said Deep Jahi.

His set included Gifted and Life Goes On, which connected with the audience.

DEEP JAHI DELIVERS AT REBEL SALUTE 2018
​
DEEP JAHI LAUNCHES OWN RECORDING LABEL

​
Reggae/dancehall artiste Deep Jahi has launched his own record label Third Eye Vision Productions and is promoting new singles 'Money Hunny' and 'Prison Bars'.


According to singer, who is known for his record Life Goes On, he decided to start his own label in order to exercise more control over his work.



"The music is a business first and foremost and it's good to learn the business side of it. Being a producer of your own work also helps you to navigate your music and control your property as a businessman. It is a really good experience and you also get to view your career from a wide view and know the pros and the cons to the music," he said.


Since the creation of the label, the singer has been getting favourable attention for his first production effort Prison Bars.


"This song is to open the eyes of the younger generation to stay in check and know that for actions there are equal consequences" he said.


Deep Jahi's talent is no secret to the music industry. However while he has received validation on the underground music scene, the artiste thinks more media attention would take his work to the highest level.


"Right through the country and worldwide the music is known and respected but the industry is slowly getting to realise the prospective greatness," he said. "I will become one of Jamaica's stalwarts for reggae and dancehall music and also the owner of one of the biggest recording label, in time."

​

POSITIVE PATH
The singjay has largely stayed on the positive path with his music and laments that times are too serious to do otherwise.


"The message is what is needed in society right now. The heinous crime and violence that has taken a strong toll on our community is impacting on young minds," he said. "So the music should be good for mind so the youths can learn from it and have a positive mindset. It's is also a worldwide cry for peace hence the music is to lead the people," he stated.


The artiste also teamed up with B.I.G Rekordz for the production work on Prison Bars. A video for Money Honey was recently released.

Reggae recording artist Deep Jahi made his Rebel Salute debut over the weekend.

Rebel Salute is one of the biggest annual reggae shows locally. Speaking on his performance, Deep Jahi said “to start a show like rebel salute it means that you have the capacity to lift the patron spirit and raise awareness to the people relative to the magnitude of rebel salute so no artiste whether opening or closing act should not be taken for granted.”

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Motivation, the latest song from singjay Deep Jahi, is reportedly doing well in the Cayman Islands, Atlanta and Japan.

Produced by YGF Records, Motivation was released early this year.
"It basically sum how I look at life, which is to be positive. It don't surprise me that it doing well 'cause Tevin and I put in a lot of work," said Deep Jahi.

Tevin is Tevin Richardson, head of YGF Records, which operates out of Ocho Rios. Deep Jahi (real name Rushane Sanderson) is the winner of two high-profile contests. In 2012, he won the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall, the same year he broke through with the song Life Goes On.

Two years later, he won the Festival Song Contest with I Love JA.
The 25-year-old Deep Jahi is from St Mary and music was always in his plans.

One of his early musical influences was his cousin Hugh Mundell, a roots singer whose album, Africa Must Be Free By 1983, is one of the best selling reggae albums in Europe. In addition to Life Goes On, Deep Jahi's popular songs include Greatness, Family Over All Things and Conversation.

Known for his thought-provoking lyrics, singer Deep Jahi has released his latest single 'Much Less'.

The song, produced by Quantanium Records, speaks about rising above the obstacles in life and fulfilling one's goals and aspirations.

"The message in the song is really about displaying our lives from nothing to something. It also speaks to the fact that you can work towards your dream, you can make it a reality. It's about the struggles of life," Deep Jahi explained. The artiste has been working in the studios, putting out material with a positive and conscious message. Some of his recent recordings include Drink and Smoke, Hustlers, Rain Glow, Lighters, Bad Mind Expire, Motivation and Greatness. YGF Production, Haad Rock, Cash Flow, Lee Milla Production and Frenz for Real are some of the production houses that Deep Jahi has been working with in recent times.

Deep Jahi, whose real name is Rushane Sanderson, is from St Mary. While attending Moneague College (where he studied management and information systems), he entered the 'Magnum King of the Dancehall' competition, where he finished first. He later released songs including Life Goes On, Nuh Punching Bag, and Another Murder, Greatness, Heart Crush, Conversation and Harsh Reality.

In 2014, he won the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission's Festival Song competition with his entry I Love JA. - Jamaican Star

Y.G.F Records (Young Generation Fraternity) has put out the anticipated “Gifted EP” by fast-rising Jamaican reggae/dancehall artist Deep Jahi, who was born Rushane Sanderson in rural St. Mary. The gifted vocalist, winner of the 2012 edition of Magnum King and Queens and the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission Festival in 2014, has a raw passion and feeling in his voice, which can be heard on every song. Because he’s also a good songwriter, all of the songs feature substantial lyrics.

The six-track project gathers productions by Studio Vibes Entertainment, Badart Muzic, Luv Number One Productions, Run Road Productions, and Seanizzle Records, which makes it a varied affair. The previously released single “Double Standard” comes across the Luv Number One Productions produced “Free Yourself” riddim. It’s a wicked social commentary that will certainly please the fan of good roots reggae music. “Gifted”, the title track of Deep Jahi’s debut EP, is a nice song with R&B influences and a subtle use of vocal harmony and acoustic piano. “Gunz Out”, a hard hitting tune across the “Dub Wi Luv” riddim, speaks to the harsh reality of the crime and violence plaguing the country of Jamaica, where police and gunmen are always in a confrontation. Conscious tune “Underrated” once again showcases Deep Jahi’s vocal and lyrical skills and talent and so does the matching dancehall vibed “Billion A Mawnin”. Mad vibes! The last track, “Te Amo”, is a smooth lovers tune with a nice melody to it on which Deep Jahi sounds totally different thus showing that he has great voice control.

The only minus here is the varied mastering of the tracks, which spoils the listening pleasure a bit.

CONCLUSION:  "A worthwhile collection from a much promising young artist who deserves to be heard." - Mr.T at Reggae Vibes | Jul 7, 2018 | Artist, Reviews
