JAH SOLDIERS,"MUSICAL WEAPON vol.1"


This was the first album I produced in conjunction with the rest of the Jah Soldiers band. It was put together from the need to document the musical works of Jah Soldiers. Jah Soldiers was backing top reggae artists live for about 7 years, and had not done any studio recordings. Before I relocated to Hawaii, I took up the task of producing and engineering the project. We are grateful to have the legendary Jamaican mixing engineer "Scientist" on most of the final mixes, along with another Jamaican engineer, Dennis Thorburn and I. An album full of original singles from the likes of Mikey Dread, Anthony B, and Tippa Irie; with little to no budget, minimum studio experience, and lots of love and support from the artists we have worked with over the years, it's all about the vibe. Completed in 2000.
