Music and sound was great!
JAH Faith was initially hired as a filler between the DJ/MC's sessions during a 60th birthday celebration.
He was immediately accommodating to our planned itinerary and responded promptly to all communications. However, the more we discussed the details of the event and my inquiries about set-times and music selections, the plan switched to having the DJ/MC as the filler to JAH Faith's performance.
Then there was the performance. OH MY GOODNESS! JAH Faith's Jamaican style provided an environment that invited our guests to join the party outside under the stars and dance the night away. He was also gracious in allowing the celebrant to the microphone for a song. This really sealed a fabulous experience for the celebrant, our family and friends. I would recommend JAH Faith without hesitation. His fee is also VERY reasonable for the quality of performance. We will be hiring JAH Faith for future events.
I run the Dub Club which has been a regularly occurring reggae event in LA for over 20 years. I have booked Jah Faith and his band many times and worked with him as an MC. He always has a way of getting the crowd involved and into the music. People just like Jah Faith! He brings an authentic Rasta reggae spirit to all his performances and he is reliable and nice to work with. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a reggae performer .
Jah Faith has been a voice a spirit a leader in Los Angeles reggae and a mentor too us local acts. Respect and love always we will book him over and over.
Jah Faith was a joy to have on my sound system. We did three separate shows plus he was my MC at Sierra Nevada World Music Festival when I DJ'd there. He is an excellent singer as well as a great MC to get the crowd going. A truly heartical & righteous Rastaman.
Jah Faith is the real deal! A devout Rasta and singer of many decades Jah Faith shepards the linage of great reggae singers/toasters and it is a treat to behold!
The music is pure and beautiful! The event made my heart sing...
My experience booking The Jah Faith Band was the start to something great! He and his band created an authentic reggae vibe that is hard to match without booking the real thing. I am grateful I was able to book such a well known reggae star, and his experienced band for my event. If you’re looking for a band to create a vibe for your event….you should definitely consider The Jah Faith Band. They come highly suggested, if you’re not already familiar!
