JAHAH "Music that feels good"!

Atlanta producer/songwriter/lyricist/singer JAHAH is the definition of authentic soul music that reflects the magnetic era of the 70's and the preeminence of contemporary hip-hop. His music pulsates with hard hitting drumbeats and intoxicating melodies, which function as the backbone for his lyrical adroitness. "I grew up listening to funk, R&B, and a taste of jazz," explains JAHAH. "By the age of twelve I was into many different genres of music. Especially hip-hop…"Seattle, Washington and Baumholder, Germany were JAHAH's place of residence before he migrated to Atlanta, Georgia in 1993. "I originally moved to the dirty south to attend The Art Institute of Atlanta and pursue a career in music engineering but that didn't work out. I ended up taking classes at Clark Atlanta University and graduating from Morris Brown College in 1999." During his four and a half-year matriculation at the AUC (Atlanta University Center), JAHAH interned for the once glorified LaFace records. "LaFace was definitely an inspiration for me because I was able to see the music business from the inside out and take notes." While amongst the LaFace family; JAHAH befriended another young and aspiring artist named Alicia Moore (now known to the world as the multi-platinum artist Pink). "I haven't seen Pink in many years but I know what she had to go through to get where she is now. She's proof that dreams can come true." After recording a couple songs featuring Pink, JAHAH decided it was time for him to make his presence felt in the music industry. "I started performing and doing gigs where ever I could be heard. I rhymed on three of Speech's (Arrested Development) EMI-Japan releases and finally saved up enough money to make my own album."In the year 2000 JAHAH released his first independent album entitled “Ear for Music”. The album was raw and uncut but managed to gain the attention of Andre 3000 and Big Boi of the group Outkast. “One day my cell phone rang and it was an A&R named Regina (from Outkast’s label Stankonia). Regina told me Outkast heard my album and was interested in me as an artist. The Outkast deal ultimately fell through the cracks but it let JAHAH know he had what it takes to make it as an artist in the music industry. “Ear for Music was the first time I really put myself and my music out there and I almost got a record deal! I knew I could only get better if I stayed focused”.In 2004 JAHAH released his second album “Mama’s Only Son” and gained the attention of a independent Japanese label called Day-Track. “Day-Track contacted my manager and we signed a non-exclusive deal with them. MOS has sold 10,000 copies in Japan…not to bad for my second album”.Once MOS landed in Japan, more offers begin to pour in. JAHAH ended up producing music for Fox Sports (pre-game shows), the Super Bowl and A&E. “The opportunities just came my way so I took them on. People wanted JAHAH beats on their show and I’ve been fortunate enough to be in that position…it’s a great feeling”.Combined with a multitude of talent and creative vision beyond his years, JAHAH delivers powerful and meaningful music that'll pleases listeners of all ages. His production skills reflect the early years of Gamble and Huff and the infectious hip-hop beats of J Dilla’. Armed and equipped with infinite rounds of soul ammunition, Mama's Only Son is arguably one of the most amazing producer/artists of our time. JAHAH is our modern day Marvin Gaye.
