Initially a wild child with too much energy for any normal kid, Elijah began to focus his energy into music in his teenage years. It wasn’t long before that momentous energy’s attention was caught in one hobby after another. This speaks to his diversity and curious nature which gave
rise to the artist we see today. Known affectionately as Jah, he made a bold move to Australia in 2016, crafting surfboards for HaydenShapes, before returning to Atlanta in 2020. With no job in hand, he pondered his true passion in life, and music always found its way back to his heart. Inspired by his loving step-father, a notable DJ (Shotta with Cartel Sound) he decided to put that momentous energy into DJing where it has been ever since. So far Jah has accomplished a lot for his “seedling” beginnings. He’s was a DJ for the Atlanta Braves 2022-2023, Comicon 2023, SCAD Fashion Show 2023-24, curated and co-hosted a number of original multi-discipline art events, official DJ for Atlanta’s rising artists such as HeyStax, Young Bowzer, Forty, toured Chicago, and now with a team such as One Night has learned so much more professionally and will continue to learn. On a personal note, Jah's musical taste is as eclectic as his background. With Cape Verdean, Jamaican, and American roots, his sound reflects a fusion of marna, hip-hop, reggae, and more. From his mother's love of R&B and morna, his father’s appreciation for Motown, to his stepfather's passion for reggae-dancehall, Jah's musical curiosity knows no bounds, embracing everything from rock to jazz all the way over to house and back to reggaeton. His style is seamless and energetic, blending genres and leaving you sweaty from dancing. For him, music isn't just a passion and good time—it's a journey of self-discovery and expression. DJing is just the beginning.
Music, for Jah, isn't just a passion – it's a lifelong love affair. Beyond his prowess as an eclectic DJ, Jah wears many hats as a musician, recording artist, and curator. He's a proficient pianist and guitarist, with aspirations to master the saxophone in the near future. His musical creations seamlessly blend hip hop, dancehall, and afrobeat, infused with the heart and soul of oldies. As a DJ, Jah's style is marked by smooth transitions, taking listeners on a captivating journey, elevating the energy, and keeping it high until the last note drops.
Experience the world of Jah – where music knows no bounds, and every beat is a masterpiece in the making. Join him on this extraordinary journey through sound, rhythm, and soul.
