WHA GWAN

About Me


* Has done 3 wildly successful, coast to coast Canadian tours since the release of What Gwan.
* Jah Cutta nominated for a Canadian Reggae Music Association award and a SOBA (Sounds Of Blackness Award).
* Wha Gwan was named one of the Top 3 Reggae Albums of 2007 by Galaxy Radio.
"Jah Cutta symbolizes stability, longevity and, of course, unspeakably brilliant musicianship" - The Star
"Canada's top reggae act" - Canadian Reggae Music Association
"...the effort payed off, with Wha Gwan proving to be a break-through record in Jamaica and Canada for Jah Cutta." - Vue Weekly
"...a collection of tunes that covers reggae’s spectrum, from bass- heavy roots to riddim-driven dancehall. Not only do Montreal’s dons of reggae provide a taste of everything, but fans will be impressed by the collaborations with saxophone king Dean “Cannon” Frazer, legendary producer Bobby “Digital” Dixon and reggae superstar Luciano." _ Montreal Mirror
"Jah Cutta est un ténor de la communauté reggae canadienne, infatigable depuis près de 20 ans. Sur Wha Gwan, le sage homme se pose encore des questions sur les raisons de la guerre, de la violence… Le propos contraste avec le fond musical, un néo-roots standard, léger, rigoureux, festif et joyeux." Nightlife Magazine
"His respect for the music and his reputation as a ferocious performer have earned him a place on stages before reggae royalty, like Peter Tosh, Gregory Isaacs, Buju Banton and, most recently, Toots and The Maytals." - World Beat Canada

For the last 20 years, there has been a rumble in the lion's den. Finally, Jah Cutta has decided it's time to roar. Early successes overseas lead to their at home release of their first full length album on Union 2112 Records "If It Wasn't Jah". Renowned for his ferocious live performances, Jah Cutta and the Determination Band have shared the stage with some of Reggae's greatest entertainers including Peter Tosh, The Wailers, Gregory Issacs, Beenie Man and Buju Banton. The long awaited new full-length “Whagwan” was released in March 2007.
