You might be wondering who I am.....So here I go…My real name is Muhammed Jobarteh aka RAS-ASKIA. I was born and raised in a country called GAMBIA in West Africa.My musical heritage goes far back, since my family is a Griot family and they are well known for their music in West Africa.I actually decided to be a musician a long time ago. However I never really had the opportunity to show my talent until sometime ago, when I met someone in England who had a studio and he let me record some tracks. After listening to my work and getting really positive feedback I decided that being a musician is what I really ought to be doing because it is what completes me as a whole and makes me who I am.So this is what set the ball rolling…I started performing in different bars and clubs and at events in Chester and Stoke. That is how I got to know some DJs and did some recording in a studio. England was not meant for me at that time though that is why I ended up in Austria.I am still trying to get opportunities to prove my talent but the reggae music scene in Austria is small and it isn’t easy to break through. Some DJs here in Austria really love my music though and play it in clubs. I got to do dub plates for some Soundsystems in Austria. Check out the dub plate together with Rebellion the Recaller for jah luv sound (http://www.myspace.com/djtaffandmcmasaka).
