Emerging in 2002, Singateh indisputably is one of the country’s finest sensations that made a successful crossover from reggae to dancehall and Afro beat. Born Alhagie Singateh in 1982, in the Central River Region town of Bansang, Singateh was among the first  artists in his generation to hit the international market. 
Due to his promising future in the music scene, Singateh was soon nicknamed after his first hit single ‘Singateh Rise’. With steady rise, he soon began performing with the local Gambian sound systems.
It was in his mid-20s’ when he embarked on his first international tour of the United States of America, courtesy of African Artists Association based in Brooklyn, New York. In 2006, he joined the Megga Force Records stationed in Germany.
With keen passion and love for music, Singateh always returned home after his international trips for recording sessions and concerts. His career catapulted to international recognition when he soon hooked up with Pa Ous, a Gambian radio DJ cum Studio Engineer based in the US, who also founded The Gambian Talents Promotions.
“This connection soon proved to be a worthwhile venture, as Pa Ous got me  gig dub plates in the U.S. One of those records “Give Me the Love” became a huge hit among reggae fans in New York, and its follow-up, “HIT with Megga Force Records” as it was on various riddims and line ups across Europe,” said Singateh.
INTERNATIONAL TOURS
Few years later, Singateh has proven to the music world that he is an artist par excellence and one of the first young Gambian artists to embark on annual tour of Europe and America, which accords him the opportunity to perform in all major cities across Europe notably in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Swiss, Spain, Italy, Austria.  Elsewhere in Europe, Singateh staged series of concerts in London in the United Kingdom and was the first Gambian artist to perform at the Africa Music Awards also known as AMA in 2009. He also staged concerts in Birmingham, Reading, Leeds, Manchester and Glasgow in Scotland.
While in the United States of America, Singateh performed in Seattle, Maryland, Atlanta, Texas in Dallas, and Toronto in Canada. Sooner than anticipated, he became one of the most highly rated and recognised Gambian artists nationwide as he continues to create his own style of music.
According to Singateh, his mode of dress also enabled him to attract more fans thus making him fans’ favorite star. However, what makes his music stand out is that the international star doesn’t limit his career to only The Gambian local market, over the years he  managed to sell thousands of his CD´s abroad during his internationals tours, and this makes his music popular internationally.
COLLABORATIONS
In his unending quest to go extra miles as far as music is concerned, he has over the years collaborated with a number of international artists and this has enabled him to add more flavours to his career. The top  artists he collaborated with includes; Emmersion, K-Man, Jungle Leaders, Tony Anthony and Skibu Foster all from Jamaica, and a host of other Gambian artists.

Some are born with musical talents while others have to study and hone their craft through hard work, and both holds true for Jizzle. Young as he may be, in age and experience in the music industry, Jizzle nonetheless does not take for granted his natural musical ability and quality. He employs both exuberance and brainpower to pull off conscious, sweet songs viable in today’s pop-culture.

Born Jerreh Jallow, he was christened Jizzle by his pals. He put his talents to test as a teen, displaying natural stage presence and star quality in his performances. Music has since been his way, encompassing both writing and singing ability.

Jizzle is well on his way to making a significant break into the music industry. He and Atlanta musicProducerPapahave released their debut single ‘Dance to the Sound‘ on International Record Consortiumand The Loopyfrost Label. Already making major traction in the U.S. and West Africa, ‘Dance to the Sound‘ is a club banger that leaves nothing to the imagination, and is sure to get club goers on the dance floor.

About the Artist

A conscious singer and songwriter, Jizzle is sensitive to his environment. Evident in his debut single, “Over Sona” in which he highlights the plights of young people neglected by the adult world. ‘Over Sona’ itself, is an exaggerated expression of despair common among Gambian young people. “I thought I’d never experience such conditions until I saw people’s lives, so I sang it,” he once said in a newspaper interview.

But, every right goes with a responsibility – a clichéJizzle often ponders. In his hit single, ‘Life Is Not Easy’,Jizzle criticises the status quo in the ghettos where young people tend to build a utopia and challenges them to “make their minds up,” “get their heads up” and work up their potentials, despite the many odds. For him, success is a destination journeyed through inescapable bumpy road.

There are other moods, too, in the 25 songs Jizzle, so far, has to his name. For instance, in hits, ‘Rumpa’, and ‘Mi Deh Pan Mi Side’, Jizzle gives us lilting melodic tributes to love, beauty and tenderness. Lo and behold, it’s the hit, “Together We Make” that propels him into the international limelight. Fan votes selected the song on Global Rock Star, an international music award.

While Gambia’s music industry boasts a flood of talented young singers, Jizzle undoubtedly is a rare breed. He majors in rap but occasionally sings dancehall. One of his wonders is that he sings in three major West African languages – Fula, Mandingo and Wolof – and an international language, English, making him a marketable brand, both at home and abroad. Besides, a growing popular demand, Jizzle performs in major national concerts and features on radio and TV shows such as the popular BNL TV Show.

“Here are songs that are relevant to today’s Gambia and the world as a whole. Here are songs that have the potential to influence for the better the lives of many people who have chosen a wrong path. Here are songs that kick everyone onto the dance floor. Written and sang by a young singer with a potential to be Gambia’s greatest musical ambassador. Here is an opportunity to invest in Gambian music and have, in return, value for your investment. Here is a platform for you to entertain and be entertained. It is the Jizzle Kingdom.” -Jizzle
