Jah Prince spends his time between Atlanta and Jamaica working in the music industry, and was the only full-blood Jamaican nominee in the 2007 category for ‘Best Reggae Mixed Tape DJ’. Known for his easy vibe, personable character, and excellent selecting, Jah Prince was born to spin and has been doing so since he was 16 years old. Working on-air at 88.5fm working with Changez Disco and then 89.3fm Atlanta radio in the early 90s allowed him to craft the skills of playing live. There has never been a day he didn’t help reggae music, even if behind the scenes, so after 7 years of event production and investment, Prince formed ‘Sunsplash Media’. As a selector, Jah Prince has played at venues all over the USA and travels to Jamaica at least 6 times a year for various reggae shows. For 2008 he will be working with top artists like Half Pint, Cherine Anderson, Kris Kelly, Chip Fu, Tessanne Chin, Hawkeye, Luciano, Mikey General, Tifa, Timberlee, Assassin, Tippa Irie (UK), Pressure (V.I.), Gailann (TnT), Lady Flame (JA), Queen Ifrica, Sadiki, Sizzla, Da’Ville, Spragga Benz and many others.

Prince had the pleasure of working Grammy Winning artist ‘Dwele’ thru Atlanta-based label, Smokin Needles Records. Working with longtime supporter ‘Phife Dawg’ of A Tribe Called Quest on several projects with Riddim Kidz, allowed him to take another step into the production arena. Alongside his labelmate DJ Rasta Root (Rane-Scratch Live, L-R-G Clothing, Red Bull Music Academy), DJ Fudge and DJ Solomon the crew has held down ‘Face-Off Friday’. Face Off is Atlanta’s most consistent intercultural monthly party, a place where only the best genres of music plays without having patrons listen to the ‘Radio-Norm’. Currently working with Cooyah Clothing (www.cooyah.com) and assisting in the launch of Cooyah Bottled Water (www.cooyahwater) and Cooyah Music (www.myspace.com/cooyahmusic) to offer cd-mixes along with the clothing orders, the Caribbean, European and UK, Jah Prince’s fan base has grown significantly. Fans preview mixed music from various producers, hear concerts snippets and artist interviews all by searching for ‘JahPrince’ on www.iTunes.com.

When questioned on his views at a recent Bob Marley Tribute in Atlanta, Jah Prince said “I am thrilled being nominated among such good selectors for the passion of work that I do everyday and an honor to be nominated at a show which showcases mixtapes worldwide which are oftentimes overlooked.” He also added, “People (club djs/radio hosts/selectors) just need to stay in deh lane, because not everybody can get solid forwards inna clash or be the best inna dance(hall) if it’s not in them… It’s like their personality don’t suit the position they’re in and they just can’t turn-on that switch. …(as for me)… I play REGGAE for all types of people and I really do LIVE Dancehall everyday in my life… on the phone, emailing, texting (laughing), it’s just what I do”.

For the 2nd half of 2008, JahPrince will release 7cds sponsored by many different friends in the industry so be on the look out for 'Summer Reggae' and 'Summer Dancehall' in Mid July.
