Music is a key to emotions and inspiration. It is - like every expression - a vehicle for love and freedom. I am looking to bring love with my music and to the stage whenever we perform.  I admire jamaican ska and reggae music. 
 I am playing trumpet, looping it. Dubbing stuff. Singing, jamming in the streets, in pubs and in people's flats. Looking to inspire and to make it sound good.

Damian Robert Nesta Marley, also known around the world as “Junior Gong” and more recently as “Gongzilla” was born in 1978 to parents Bob Marley and Cindy Breakspeare, Miss World 1976.  As a young adult, he developed a passion and a gift to speak for those who cannot always speak for themselves. A self-proclaimed ‘Spiritual Revolutionary’, Damian has worked assiduously to carve his own niche in music history and to add a new perspective to the Marley legacy for the 21st century. 

At the age of 13, Damian began performing in a group called “The Shepherds” which comprised of Shiah Coore (son of Third World guitarist Cat Coore) and currently a member of his band, and Yashema Beth McGreggor, daughter of reggae singers Freddie Mcgreggor and Judy Mowatt and then began touring with his brothers, Stephen, Ky-mani, Julian and Ziggy. 

By 1996, Damian had already made his stamp as a different kind of Marley when he released his first solo album “Mr. Marley”, a heavily dancehall-influenced album produced by his brother Stephen Marley.  His second album “Halfway Tree” was released in 2001 by a major record label and showcased Damian’s unique gift for blending dancehall, reggae and hip-hop styles.  This album won Damian much recognition and remained on the Billboard Top Reggae Album Charts for 158 weeks and earned him his first Grammy for Best Reggae Album in 2002. 
While honored by this recognition by the global music fraternity, Damian continued to work in the studio, laying the groundwork for the tracks that would become his highly anticipated album, “Welcome To Jamrock”. The lyrics in this album presented Marley as a true spiritual revolutionary, as he used his talent to evoke a spiritual change while trying to enforce a better way of thinking.  He is described as “rhyming with the conviction of a street preacher with the intellect of a university economist”.  

Damian’s hit single “Welcome to Jamrock” was listed as one of the Top 100 Songs of the Decade by Rolling Stone, and at the 2006 Grammy Awards, he won Best Reggae Album and Best Urban/Alternative Performance for Welcome to Jamrock. Damian is the only Jamaican reggae artist in history to win two Grammy Awards on the same night. He is also the only reggae artist to win in the Best Urban/Alternative Performance category at the Grammy Awards. The New York Times called Welcome to Jamrock the “best reggae song of the decade.” 
Welcome to Jamrock led the pathway to Damian’s critically acclaimed collaboration with Nas for 2010’s much lauded album “Distant Relatives” – a project which explored the relationships between reggae, hip-hop and Africa. The album title refers not only to the bond between the artists, but the connection to their African ancestry, which inspired the album both musically and lyrically. USA Today referred to the album as a “potent and often provocative collaboration” and by Rolling Stone as “an Afrocentric winner.” The album debuted at Number 5 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and Number 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Rap Albums and Reggae Albums charts, with Billboard heralding the album as “a dynamic hybrid.”    

The Distant Relatives Tour kicked off in 2011 and saw Damian traveling and performing for thousands of fans all over the world, including South America, Europe, The United Kingdom, The Caribbean and North America.  

Damian continued to cross musical boundaries in 2012, as he went on to partner with Skrillex for their groundbreaking track “Make It Bun Dem”, which Rolling Stone called “a monster mash up of dubstep and dancehall” and has led to several remixes of the original version.  Damian recently released two other singles; “Set Up Shop” and  “Affairs of the Heart” which both received widespread airplay. 

Damian continues to tour with his band all over the world as a way of entertaining and healing as he continues to spread the message for those whose voices cannot be heard. He is working with his brothers Stephen and Julian under their Ghetto Youths International Label, to discover, develop and sign gifted artistes by applying their musical talent and vast experience to create new and different styles of music.  

Damian is currently in the studio working on his upcoming solo album.

The UK Roots scene is a spirited underground representation of Jamaican studio techniques as filtered through the cheap recording technology boom of the last two decades. In short it is generally a story of creative and intuitive use of studio equipment by often self educated recording engineers. Rej Forte has risen out of the UK scene as a master producer creating some of the most moving and lasting roots music ever produced in the UK.
Jah Rej’s productions do what real music truly should, transport the listener to a magical place. Using a range of vocalists and a dedicated group of session musicians he has refined his art. Rej's productions carry the weight and produce the magic.
The Jah Works label was set up by reggae obsessive Rej Forte in the depths of the Berkshire countryside in the late 1980’s. The label has gained a reputation for producing consistently high quality UK Reggae and Dub by the likes of Martin Campbell, Donette Forte, GT Moore (aka The Outsider), Hornsman Coyote, Princess Jewels, Teddy Dan, Albaroot, Ghetto Priest and Idren Natural to name but a few.
 Rej Forte's Jah Works label was one of the first of the new breed of UK dub / roots outfits to release deep spiritual roots music back in the late eighties which tore up roots dances up and down the UK back in the day. After more than two decades, the Jah Works label still produces original Roots Reggae & Dub music that is distinctive and unique, blending old school values with modern production techniques. The Jah Works Sound is big, atmospheric and full of 'old skool' vibes. Passion and creativity are the key elements reflected in the recording philosophy. Jah Works productions and especially Jah Rej’s blistering dub mixes have long been favourites amongst the top UK sound systems, particularly the legendary Jah Shaka.
Not a man for seeking the limelight, Rej is also a man of many masks. He is credited as the artist for a number of dubs, (including the ‘Dubs From Seventh Sense’ album), but is also the ‘Artist’ behind the name for the 90’s classic Dub Crusaders album entitled ‘Universal Spirit Warrior. He is often also the songwriter behind a number of underground Roots hits, including ‘Who Are You?’, ‘Dub Them’ and ‘Save this World’.
In the mid 90’s Rej built the Seventh Sense Studio based in Newbury, Berkshire and accumulated his studio musicians into the Seventh Sense Band. The studio is notable for its continued use of an 8-track Ampex ‘Reel-to-Reel’ tape machine (called ‘Bertha’) that has helped to provide a richness and depth to the Jah Works sound which is unachievable in the modern digital recording studio. Much of the Jah Works catalogue is mastered onto tape and ‘versions’ and ‘Dubplates’ are often mixed from there.
Jah Rej closed the Seventh Sense studio after 15 years when he relocated to Belgium in 2009. Merging forces with the Irie Vibes Band, together they built the GreenTongue Studio. Productions since then have included Hornman Coyote’s ‘Brass Roots’ LP, an artist compilation called ‘Outernational Roots’, I-Man T’s ‘Life’ album, and with a much anticipated Teddy Dan set on the way.
Jah Rej can be found performing under the Jah Works Outernational Sound System title. Jah Works Sound has been a regular staple and much needed organic roots and dub diet over the years. The Sound has performed at cornerstone UK venues and events such as Roots Garden, The Dub Club and The Rocket, and is currently laying down Dubplates in and around Belgium, France and Holland on a regular basis. In 2012, Jah Rej took Jah Works Sound System on tour in Mexico.
Rej is very much a ‘musician’s producer’ and has striven to keep Jah Works music as ‘live’ as possible. He is particularly loved by reggae instrumentalists and bands (his session musician list is too long to list!). He is much in demand as a ‘front-of-house’ mixer at live shows and he is a permanent fixture directing and mixing the Irie Vibes Band. Over the years he has mixed for a number of live acts, including Revolutionary Dub Warriors, Harare Dread,, Dub The Earth, Dreadless, and Seventh Sense at events such as Womad, Glastonbury, Irie Vibes Festival and many more.
After over 30 years inspiring, producing and forwarding Roots Reggae Music, it is somewhere between difficult and impossible to list the myriad of actions and achievements Rej has been involved with. Suffice to say ‘Jah Works Everytime, Seen!
