About Me
Michael Ahusimhenre Onokhua a.k.a. MACORAS: I was Born to the Family of Onokhua in a Ghetto called Ahia,in the year 1968 in Ishan South East Local Government Ubiaja in Edo State Nigeria. Mi is the Fourth of the Fifth Siblings of my Parient, There I grew up in same Ghetto without Electricity and Pipelined Water, And the nearest river to get clean water was about 180 KM, So as a youth! I use to think it was the same system all over because non of us were able to watch Television inna the Dungle... Well, inna this bitter Expiriences I started up my Primary School Level in 1972-1978.After Primary School I stayed at home for two Years because my Parient could not afford to pay for every one of us at the same time. We have to pay for School Fees, Books, School Uniform... So in 1981-1987 I did my Secondary School Level, Then while in School I was a member of a School Band Called "The Skalic Force" Which I played an Important role as Lead Singer. I used to Sing some Gospel tunes because my Parient are Christians and every Friday and Sunday is a must for me Singin with Churches... What intensify me most is the daily Suffering inna the Dungle, The way we Survived through this Difficulties,Poor Parients,Poor Family, All living in Poverty, Hunger and Deprivation... Then I said to myself what must I do for my life and the life of my People? So I went into Meditation Deep inna Communication to Jah Rastafari and he said to me come my Servant and give Thanks to his Majesty for this is the highest Job I could get to Praise Jah, seen... So I met a Friend living in the same Neighbourhood with the same thought and Vision.So we started by teaching me some Chords on Guitar and writing of Songs and Things like that.After doing this for a couple of Month we decided to visit a bigger City,called Benin-City,there you find the most Talented Artist in my Country.In 1991 I joined the Music Course in a School called "Eno Luis Music Mind Academy" with a couple of good Friends and ended in 1995.We form a Group called "The Red Warrior" and later change it to "Soul Cryers"... We use to Play four Days in a Week and While later,still in Benin-City,a Guy came and watch our Show and later said to us to come down to lagos that with our vibes we are fit into what the people wanna hear because we do the reggae sound.Then we all meditated over it and see say wha’ we’ve fi move.So we move and I tell u wha’ man.It was the greatest expierience fi wholla we... Remember this, as a Ghetto youth the first Thing u must learn is Humbleness and Respect,so it goes in the Dungle, seen... Now me inna foreign to answer the call of his Majesty Mission by spreading oneness, onelove to Mankind living far and near,Judgement is a must... Later, in Germany, I went to a Park for some Meditations. There I met a Guy who invited me to there Studio Rehearsal here in Braunschweig which I did and try some Choruses with them and later called me for Master Recordings where I met with Dj Danny, we had some Discussions that faithful Day and after that the real Thing began... Now we build up a Family Foundation called "The I Soul Reggae Family". We calling everyone poor or rich, young or old, Man and Woman, black and white.....WORLD RULERS WHAT ARE WE DOING?...ARE WE ON THE WAY OF HIS MAJESTY?...I AM FROM THE DOWN TRODDEN TRIBE THAT DETERMINDED TO SUFFER NO LONGER,UPLIFTMENT OF GHETTO YOUTHS IS A MUST DUTY…BLESSED AND GUIDANCE…HAIL SELASSIE I;JAH RASTAFARI RULES I&I.Hallo ich bin MacoRas, ich wollte mal ein bisschen von mir erzählen, über das was ich in meinem Leben getan habe, tue oder auch noch viele Jahre tun werde, denn Musik ist neben meiner Familie und meinen Freunden, das wichtigste was ich habe. Bereits in den ersten Jahren meines Lebens wusste ich das ich auf die Bühne gehöre. In verschiedenen Abschnitten meines Lebens, habe ich gute Musiker kennen gelernt. Zusammen mit der „I Soul Reggae Family“ ,meiner Frau Tanja und vielen Menschen um mich herum, haben wir bereits einiges auf die Beine gestellt. Deswegen an dieser Stelle auch Respect an einige der wichtigsten Menschen an meiner Seite. Als erstes zu meiner Frau Tanja, mein Selecta Dennis "(I Soul Reggae)",, unser guter Freund und Partner Stevie "(Music Is The Healing Of The Nation)", unser Freund Telley und seiner Frau Norinka, JahMike, Ganjaman, Jah Flex und so vielen mehr... In unseren Songs wollen wir auf den Zusammenhalt in unserer Reggae Familie aufmerksam machen, auf unseren uneingeschränkten Glauben in Jah und die Gleichberechtigung zwischen den Menschen, für die wir Rastas bereits seid unvorstellbar langer Zeit kämpfen. Doch nach langer Zeit dreht sich das Blatt und Menschen gehen aufeinander zu, feiern und tanzen zusammen und selbst wenn es nur das ist was wir erreicht haben hat es sich gelohnt zu kämpfen. Menschen gehören zusammen und nicht ausgegrenzt. Nach allem was ich nun erzählt habe, komme ich zu einem Schluß, Stevie du hast so recht… „Music Is The Healing Of The Nation“
