Jahdan Blakkamoore

JAHDAN BLAKKAMOORE Born in Georgetown, Guyana and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Jahdan Blakkamoore has long made a name for himself as a gifted and inspiring Reggae/Dancehall/Hip Hop/Dubstep artist - both nationally and internationally. His music has been described as “Urban World Music with a message.” Jahdan’s sense of melody, superb song writing skills and ability to effortlessly cross over genres has solidified his status as a relevant artist in the music industry. Jahdan, Andrew "Moon" Bain and Grammy Award-winner Angela Hunte were contributing writers on Snoop Lion’s album, ‘Reincarnated.’ The Album was nominated for a Grammy for Best Reggae Album. He’s featured on “Boulevard”, “Harder Times”, and lends his vocals to “Lighters Up” with Mavado and Popcaan. Blakkamoore currently has songs featured on mix tapes and albums across various genres. “All Comes Back to One (Bobo’s Remix)” was featured on Snoop Lion’s mixed tape ‘Ashtrays and Heartbreaks’ mixed by Federation Sounds, Max Glazer. “Life is Greater” can be heard on the ‘Rough Road Riddim’ from Green Lion Crew and “Best in Life” stands out on the ‘Song Bird Riddim’ from I Grade Records. “Write My Wrongs,” a feature with Freeway & The Jacka is the title track to the mix tape from Project Groundation mixed by DJ Child. Jahdan is also featured on Smif N Wessun’s EP ‘Born and Raised.’ True Hip Hop Reggae supporters have been awaiting new music from Jahdan and the Boot Camp Family since their classic collaboration “Sound Boy Buriell.” Blakkamoore still remains focused on the release of his forthcoming solo album 'Order Of Distinction'. A long awaited follow up to his previous solo album ‘Babylon Nightmare’ on the Lustre Kings label. The first single "Ting Tun Up!" which premiered on LargeUp.com features Lady Leshurr and Melodic Yoza. A video for the next single "Smood Blakk Skin" was filmed in South Florida and will soon be released. The album also features Lutan Fyah, Pressure Busspipe, Kabaka Pyramid, and Illuminati Congo. The album is scheduled for release on March 24th 2015. A North American tour and shows in Europe are currently being scheduled. Not just a solo artist, Jahdan is also a long time member of the group Noble Society. Acclaimed as ‘kings of urban reggae,’ the group is a collective of international musicians combining various styles of music. Their last studio album, ‘PPM – Powerful Painful Music’, is a mix of Hip-Hop and Dancehall with Dub- step beats and Flamenco melodies. The album was followed by a successful European tour with Biga Ranx. A fan favorite on the album, “Living the Life” was remixed by dub and base veterans Sub Atomic Sound System and a dub-step version of the full album was also remixed by UK based Rolaz Audio Productions. Jahdan and Noble producer Fuego Campo teamed up to release the single “Don’t Violate” on ABB Records. His cross genre collaborations with stalwarts like DJ Premier, Afu Ra, Boot Camp Clik and Dead Prez have been second to none, and in the Reggae and Roots scene Jahdan has worked with artists such as Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry and Anthony B to name a few. ‘Cash Flow’, his release with Diplo and Switch on their groundbreaking ‘Major Lazer’ project, was hailed as one of the standout tracks of the album. He also wrote the song "Struggla" featured on Matisyahu’s album ‘Light’. Jahdan is renowned for his powerful vocals and commanding stage shows, which he has delivered around the world, from Argentina to Poland, Switzerland, and Germany with many more places to come. “Jahdan Blakkamoore consistently voices thoughtful, positive music that crosses borders and sheds light on the versatility of roots and culture music.” -Level Magazine Follow on Twitter: @Mr_Blakkamoore LIKE on Facebook: JahdanBlakkamooreMusic IG: JahdanBlakkamoore Visit: Blakkamoore.com For bookings: Wayne Henry |R.E.N.U.
