Biography
Currently seeking dates in Europe, and working with Xterminator producer Fattis Burrell, Abijah is recording again and building a fresh new stage show. With a song hitting #1 in Jamaica (“Revelation”), since remixed as a duet with Beenie Man, Abijah’s current LP "Moving 2 the Top" was recently reviewed by BEAT Magazine. It’s an outstanding showcase of his own creativity, as well as that of other notable producers in JA, the US, and UK.
Live, Abijah's thrilled thousands throughout Europe at Festivals (Rototom, Jamaica Sunrise, etc.), in the U.S. Canada (Monterey Reggae, Sierra Nevada, Montreal International, Calgary, etc.), and in his native Jamaica (National Arena, Sumfest, Rebel Salute). Recent American tours with the Dub Station band have taken Abijah throughout the Northeast, Midwest, all up and down the West Coast - out to Hawaii - and through the Rockies.
Abijah's earned the unique moniker: "Ambassador of Peace" for his work in schools throughout Jamaica, as well as overseas, where he's been invited to present at both Harvard & Oxford Universities. Abijah's works have been chronicled in books (Robert & Julia Roskind's Rasta Heart, and others); and have taken him to various Native American reservations & even prisons. Abijah also won the first ever "All Things Digital" World/Reggae Contest, which was announced to over 30,000 industry members of all genres by sponsor AirPlayDirect.
