Like the siren on an emergency vehicle in heavy traffic, is the voice and message of reggae artiste Jah-Lil. Born Jerome Adrian Smith on November 1st 1990 in Kingston Jamaica, discovered his singing talent at the tender age of six, as he sang along to songs being played on the radio. He later became a young singing star at school as he participated in morning devotions and concerts while at Rousseau Primary school. As a student at Jamaica College, he became a member of the school’s first “All Together Sing” competition choir. He later sang at numerous weddings, funerals and church concerts. Jah-Lil attributes his ability to sing, write songs and play the keyboard as a God given gift, as he has no formal training.
In 2011 Jah-Lil met and teamed up with musician/producer John Williams of Almond Productions for whom he wrote, sang, entered and won the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (J.C.D.C.) Gospel song competition with the song “We Need”. He also won three sectional prizes for best performance, best arranged song and best lyrics.
Jah-Lil’s unique vocal stylings later caught the ears of noted musician/producer Danny Brownie of Main Street Records who approached him and has so far recorded and released two songs entitled “One Wrong One Right” and “Siren”. Both songs are featured on VP Records “Strictly The Best” 2014 and 2015 compilation albums and are now being played on radio stations worldwide and are available on iTunes and more.
Jah-Lil currently spends most of his days in the studio working on completing his album project with Brownie for release in 2016
Jah-Lil’s goal in life is to become a voice to the voiceless. His songs are about whatever he or others have experienced in life, whether it be good or bad as well as songs of love, inspiration, encouragement, hope and solutions.
Jah-Lil’s role models are Marcus Garvey, Mali Music and Bob Marley.
