Interview with JahBeng

JahBeng’s first single from his second CD Ã¢â‚¬ËœRiver of Healing’, is entitled “Biggest Part Of Me”, and indeed the introspective content of his music at large is evident of him sharing a big part of himself. Through his music, JahBeng shares his hope for “all people to wake up and see the world as a connected entity;” A world where “the message of love, righteous actions, Black liberation and hence the liberation of the whole human race”, is understood, and abounds. With such contemplative songs as rucial State’, I am’ and River of healing’, JahBeng offers essential words of wisdom to all who will listen. As such, he recently took time out of his busy schedule to enlighten WJ about his early inspirations, his imperative musical message, and his noble plan for a better future, for others.

WJ: Good afternoon Jahbeng

Interview with Anthony Cruz

His musical style is reminiscent of a dieing breed of vocalists: the ones whose voice pulsates in our souls, leaves memories on the heart that will last throughout the years, and will be recalled to the mind time and time again generations later. As he crones and serenades not for the love of money but for the love of his fans, Anthony Cruz remains at the forefront of this dieing breed.

I sat down with this humble vocalist who hails from this rare breed, and unearthed some of his unique visions… like his ever evolving creations, his latest business venture, and how he survives in the ever changing world of Reggae music.

Interview with Akshan

A fusion Of R&B And Reggae Influences that produce a “real, classic, eclectic” and unique style of music, is one way of describing this man’s musical sound. Who is this Sing Jay that crafts this musical synthesis? He is Akshan, and having entered the musical arena in 1996, he is now poised and ready for combat with his album “Time Fi Akshan”. Lia sat down for a one on one with this rising Sing-Jay and found out about the diverse musical platform, solid lyrical armor and resoundingly clear message that his soon to be released album will deliver to the music world.

Lia:Akshan, where were you born?
Akshan: Well I was born in St. Mary, Jamaica. I am from an area called Grants town.

Lia: What are some personal experiences that influenced your music?
Akshan: Going back to Jamaica and seeing my family is a motivator. It makes me strive to take things to another level just for the sake of helping on a broader scale. Also my father passing, I strive for success to fulfill his dreams of what he would want his son to be. My experiences with women is also a big influence. I have had many strong women in my life that influence the way I treat, act toward and react to women. I try to maintain a positive vibe at all times, yet stay real with it.
