Jahwid

Jahwid is the name David uses for his own music: he grew up surrounded by Jamaican music (Reggae: Rock Steady: Ska: Nayabingi) and was influenced by Bob Marley: Toots and the Maytals: Jacob Miller: Ethiopians: Gregory Isaac: etc…he couldn’t resist writing songs and learning different instruments (guitar: bass: keyboard) in order to record his own compositions. In 1998-1999: Jahwid started a Reggae band called “Roots Vibration” with the Jamaican singer/guitarist Farma Dread: who’s also Ijahman’s guitarist. They performed in France and Switzerland. In 2001: Jahwid completed a “home made recording”: playing all the instruments and singing all the vocals. Since he felt the need to be understood by as many people as possible: he started to write in English: which brought him to New York: wanting to improve his English and to be closer to the Reggae scene… A month after his arrival in New York: Jahwid started recording at HC&F Recording Studio: for the engineer Philip Smart who worked with Shaggy: Luciano: Shinehead and Buju Banton. Jahwid’s currently looking for an agent or producer …
