Jahmark has garnered a reputation as a radical Reggae rebel with an extensive repertoire of music that incites powerful feelings in its listeners.
Whether it's a battle cry, love, or pure unadulterated joy, this Reggae Rocker was always destined to be a music practitioner from his humble beginnings.
Born Mark Browne-Reynolds in Jamaica, the artist now based in California has been on the Reggae radar since 1993, when his single ,"Ocean Blue", was featured on the soundtrack of the 90s cult classic film Weekend at Bernie's II.
Fast-forward 4 decades later the band Jahmark and the Soulshakers are still a powerhouse in the underground Reggae circuit stateside and is now regarded as "As one of Reggae's most understated live performers", Jahmark & The Soulshakers seemingly mark each appearance with an unexpected, yet electrified performance often coupled with a repertoire of genre-melding songs with major hit potential.
The band's latest release "Happiness" from the 2018 album of the same name, has been experiencing a resurgence during the Summer of 2022, garnering nearly 15,000 Spotify streams after a brief viral stint on the social media app TikTok.
Their latest album aptly titled Vigilance marks his sixth full-length studio album, and is expected to follow the critical acclaim and warm reception that 2018s Happiness attracted for the independent homegrown, US-based Reggae Rocker.
