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.
