Jahmark & The Soulshakers Bio

---

An unstoppable force of nature. The group's leader, Jahmark, is a gifted singer/songwriter, dynamic performer, and entertainer. He was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, and the authenticity of his craft definitely shines through. This internationally recognized recording artist has amassed a catalogue of close to a hundred songs over the years and delivers them live and direct with a passion and zest not to be missed.   

His musical talents began to emerge around the legendary Marley family when he was introduced to Bob through his sister, Pearl. At the time of Bob's passing Jahmark made a vow to the almighty to not let this classic form of roots reggae music fade away.

From that time on he has shared stages with the likes of The Wailers, Third World, Jimmy Cliff, Pato Banton, Eek-A-Mouse, Lucky Dube, Julian Marley, Black Eyed Peas, and more. He has performed on the annual Jamaica Festival Music competition, Reggae Sunsplash, San Diego Street Scene, Japan Song of Lion concert, etc.  

Their albums include Love Power, Life! the double album Book of Redemption I & II, Happiness, and Vigilance (which was considered for a Grammy nomination in 2023). They recently released a festive children’s song titled “Christmas In The Air” and are about to release their long-anticipated brand new single titled “Humankindness”.

Movie soundtrack credits include two of their grooving up-tempo songs, "Ocean Blue", in the film Weekend at Bernie’s II, and "Rock You Baby" (a.k.a. "I Wanna Rock U Baby"), in Miami Rhapsody, which can both be found on the Happiness album.

The time of revelation is at hand and here comes one of Jamaica's native sons and his well chosen Soulshakers at their very best...classic roots reggae music live and direct, conscious heartfelt and relevant lyrics, inspirational and percussively percolating beats, grooving basslines, a true revival of the golden age of reggae right here in the right here and now...Jah live!
