OMAR CRAIG FORSYTHE (born August 2, LEO) was born and raised in Jamaica. Known musically as JAY-5Flow, he is a diverse Los Angeles based international reggae and dancehall artist, who believe and breathes the philosophy “Never give up on your dreams…  Keep working hard each day and you will be successful.”

Jay-5 who grew up in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, revealed to his mother at a very young age his desire to be an entertainer. Music was so deeply embedded in young Jay-5, that it would eventually led to him getting suspended from High school during his teenage years. Like fire, music burned fervently inside young Jay-5 it forced him to go against school policy and performed in front of his entire classroom which was against school’s policy.  Instead of being deterred, Jay-5 sought out more appropriate avenues to quench his appetite for music. 
In the late 1990’s with the support of his good friend dancehall artist Russian, Jay-5 began performing at many local shows in the parishes of St. Mary and St. Ann. Fearlessly Jay-5’s hunger to showcase his versatility, diversity and wit,  grew rapidly which lead to him performing in Tourist sector, providing live entertainment in resorts across Jamaica’s North Coast. 
In 2008, Jay-5 met the producer and CEO of Rebel Soulz, through Russian.  Under the guidance of the Rebel Soulz camp, Jay-5 did his first professional recordings which include “Magic (Pearl Riddim)” and “Just Dance (Current Affairs Riddim)”.
  
After that recording and performing, for Jay-5 music became a career, his dreams were now taking flight.  This led to the alliance with renowned dancehall deejay and actor Spragga Benz and his Red Square Crew.  His musical talents were also recognized by producer, Minto Pierre (MPR) who produced the track “Shake It Señorita” which is on his album The Dancehall Macarena.
In 2003, Jay-5 relocated to Los Angeles, California to further pursue his career in entertainment. 

His relationship with Spragga Benz and his Red Square family created platforms that gave him the break to perform in international events sharing the stage with the likes of rapper Foxy Brown, Kymani Marley son of reggae legend Bob Marley, Beenie Man, Gyptian, Warrior King, Konshens, Kranum of curse Spragga Benz and many others. Jay-5 have also tour the US alongside Spragga Benz, He recorded Dancehall Macarena his hit song on his album The Dancehall Macarena for Hot Boxxx Ent.

RYO VIBES is a Japanese Sing-Jay, Singer-Songwriter, and Beat-maker. Ryo is presently based in Los Angeles, but also actively performs in throughout Japan and Jamaica.
Her style is a mixture of Roots Reggae, Dancehall, and Future Reggae Electro; bringing any party to life through her vibes on the mic, whether the Street Reggae scene, Hollywood Dancehall,
Underground Hip-Hop, or Electro House music.
Inspired by the passion and beauty of Jamaican Culture, her influences include: Dancehall, Reggae, Sound System, Rasta, Mr. Vegas, Cutty Ranks, Ninja man, Sister Nancy, Buju Banton,
Garnet Silk, Elephant man, Sean Paul. Additionally, her experiences whilst living in London and Los Angles awakened newfound appreciation and love for EDM such as Dub step, Dub,
moombahton like Major Lazer , Diplo and Jahtari. During the release of her EDM styled work, she utilized the alias of “RYOKO” in order not to confuse her reggae fan-base, while also allowing
her to expand her following in the EDM arena. She later decided to mix styles, reviving her original namesake RYO VIBES, realizing that was really her style since beginning. She’s noted as
saying in an interview "I RYO VIBES am from Japan, influenced by old and new Jamaican music living in Los Angeles. Taking only one of them doesn't really make whole me."
Since age 4, she knew her calling to be music, and started composing electric music by age 14 when she began to explore the music, as an Indies Punk-Rock singer during her high school
years.　After graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, She pursued her career more seriously by assisting film score composer Michael A. Levine, engineering at the private
studio of “Wah Wah Watson” and “The Scientist”, writing jingles, composing for motion pictures, and writing songs for other artists as a freelance Lyricist. A song she composed for a then new
artist in Japan "RIE", went on to be chosen as the official theme for Miss Universe in Kyushu Japan.
Ryo Vibes continues to makes music the whole World can vibe to, as she expands her already impressive International Collaborative Network and her ever growing body of work. She has
recorded with Mr. Vegas's MV Music, Richie Loops's Aapy feet, Tremme House Production, Mightyful 13 Records, Andrew Bees from Black Uhuru and Roots Radics in Jamaica, Karizma in the
UK, Germaica Digital’s Robs and Duke in Germany, NIKATEEN (Three's Loco), South Rakkas Crew of Mad Decent and Unseen Lab, E-dee and The Scientist's Dub Music Production, Mr.SupriZe
in LA, Shaks Records in NY, Red Square Production in Miami, Sister Kaya's Sisteren Star Label in Japan.
She has performed at numerous popular venues and festivals like Jamaican Gold, Dub Quake (Dub Club) and Sea Breeze; opening for big artists such as: Sister Nancy, Anthony B, YG, Far East
Movement, RYO the Skywalker, and many more. A truly unique new artist, "RYO VIBES" reputation grows worldwide via blogs, radio, magazines, and other media. You can check some of these
out featured by way of “Mad Decent blog”, nomination in the “Biz Mag Awards”, heavy play on Irie FM (Talia's Early Irie) of Jamaica and interviews on KXLU 88.9 FM of LA.
Recently, she’s announced that she has recorded some brand new reggae music produced by Mr.Vegas in Jamaica, and fans can expect these songs to be released in her first album this
upcoming summer of 2013.
