Known to his fans as Jah Bami (meaning Jah Take Me), Damian Marvin Walters was born in 1979 in Trinidad and Tobago. An influential vocalist and songwriter, his musical style is a mix between reggae and soca, pulling influence from hip hop and R&B. Jah Bami's musical life began at the age of six as the lead choir boy in his family's church. He grew up listening to entertainers such as Anita Baker, Cameo and Prince, and watching his father DJ and MC at clubs in Trinidad. As a youth the steel drum played a major role in Jah Bami's musical upbringing, as he watched his father's group tour Trinidad as the first steelpan. In his teens he gained recognition for his own talents on the steel drum which he learned to play by ear. He also mastered the guitar, piano, and drums. At 17 he earned himself a music scholarship at the University of the West Indies where he led his school to become school Panorama Champions and played with the Exodus Steel Orchestra which was National Panorama Champions four years in a row. He spent most of his youth living between Trinidad and New York, where he moved in 2000. During his time in New York he began to embrace Rastafari. Shortly thereafter he was invited by Japanese label Thello Entertainment to join on a year-long tour alongside other reggae stars like Wayne Wonder and Ky-Mani Marley (son of Bob Marley). His welcome embrace by the Japanese spawned a style they deemed Mutant Chant. His Japanese fans also created his name. Jah Bami has recorded and shared the stage with Wu Tang Clan, Norris Man and Damian Marley, among others. Jah Bami's sound and personality has taken him around the world as host for MTV's Caribbean network, MTV Tempo. www.soundcloud.com/jahbamimusic @jahbami
