From the streets to the stage, Jahbeard’s journey is painted with scars of survival. His story echoes hunger, darkness, and the weight of losing love. Every step is marked by struggle, yet his voice still rises, chasing hope through the ruins of pain. His music is not polished—it is raw, born from restless nights and burning days. Each lyric carries truth, each beat carries fire.

What makes Jahbeard unforgettable is his UNIQUE VOICE — carved by sorrow yet filled with strength. It trembles with loss, roars with defiance, and whispers with fragile hope. Jahbeard does not sing for fame; he sings because music is the only language his soul has left.

Bio :
Chief of Nothing is a French born, Berlin based selector. Collecting and playing records for more than a decade, having a soft spot for the era between the late 60’s and the early 80’s, where Reggae music was analog and recorded on tapes. Orchestration and vocals are key when it comes to pick up a record. Spreading a conscious message of Peace, Love & Unity, is the foundation of his selection.

Established in 2007 by J & Nicki Bonner. Specializing in bringing you nothing but pure revival reggae from artists like Lone Ranger, The Black Emeralds, Jah Faith,  Sir Scorcher, Ras Congo, Robby Spengler, & Raynier Jacildo.

The BigShot Sound System - the U.K's internationally acclaimed original reggae radio show from Newport City Radio - deep in the heart of South Wales.

Established in February 2007 with 1ft Wide Radio, we built a small but hardcore fanbase. 
We were invited by Newport City Radio to join their team in 2009 and that enabled us to broadcast to a much wider audience.

We broadcast live on Newport City Radio most Sunday's at 8pm UK time / 3pm Eastern time /12pm Pacific time etc (times change very briefly to allow for DST)
With roots firmly planted in the 1960's, you can expect to hear the finest cuts of ska, rocksteady, Boss, early & original reggae. 
We also include a sprinkling of roots, dub & lovers rock in the now infamous 'ease in' segment which is broadcast 15 minutes before the main show.

BigShot is all about audience interaction and participation, so any requests, dedications or suggestions can be made on Facebook live during the show through the event created for every new show.

We believe that it's all about the music, so the BigShot philosophy is - less talk, more tune.
