Jahranimo's first major recognition came in 1988 at a sound system showdown between Ticka Music and Pieces Sound. Singing under the stage name ..Apache.., he won the audience's love and was named Best Entertainer by the promoter. After meeting the late Chino Man in Savanna-La-Mar, Jahranimo was introduced to Leng, Specialist, and Banky (former managers of Shaba Ranks). These new connections led to performances in some of the biggest shows in Jamaica such as Sting, Hot Shot, and Border Clash. In 1991, ready to begin a new life in Canada, Jahranimo performed an emotional farewell show while sharing the stage with Buju Banton and other artists from his homeland. While living in Canada and taking a break from music, Jahranimo began to realize his true identity as a..Rastaman... Giving all praise to the Most High, life ..Must Get Betta.....

and it did. In 2001 Jahranimo returned to the stage and began work on a compilation album with Kirk Davis, Beenie Man, and others. The 2002 release of ..In Jamaica.. led to several opportunities including the filming of a video for the title track on the beaches of Jamaica, television performances with George Nooks in Vancouver and Alberta (Breakfast TV), and performances with Half Pint, Tanto Metro, Devonte, and Mighty Diamonds. Jahranimo recently received the George Barrett Reggae Music Appreciation Award for his contribution to reggae music. Many studio hours later his debut solo CD ..REAL LIFE.. is ready to take the industry and the world by storm. It is top to bottom one of the most innovative and polished reggae dance hall albums you will ever hear. |
