They met as students in 2006 at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in Kingston. Six stunning musicians - Anthony Watson, Courtland White, Demar Gayle, Delroy Hamilton, Kumar Bent and Mahlon Moving set out to rekindle a flame of positivity in the music industry. Though their versatility enables them to play all genres of music, most of their songs influenced by passion, purpose and life experiences assume a roots rock reggae flavour.
They write their own songs and ensure that every word touches the soul of the listener, uplifting and motivating people from all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. The resulting melodies have been commonly likened legendary artistes such as Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Third World. The band also has its own recording label, Raging Fyah Productions, which produced their debut single “Peace Reigns”, followed by “Fight” as well as other work in the pipelines for several popular reggae and dancehall artistes. In 2011 they released their debut album „Judgement Day” and gained popularity with songs like „Judgement Day” or „Far Away”. Whether at an intimate acoustics set or a large stage shows such as Rebel Salute and Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival, they steadily captured the hearts of the Jamaican listeners. Same year the band performed in South America and at several major reggae festivals in Europe like Summerjam, Rototom Sunsplash or Garance Festival. They also gathered strong support in Poland after some well received club shows, Regalowisko Festival 2012 and work with local Pablo27 and Olo Mothaship. 2014 brought them back with „Boarding Pass” EP, followed with another album „Destiny”. It illustrates again their desire to break the barriers. Promoted with singles like „Barriers”, „Brave” or „Nah Look Back”, the release received good reviews and attracted fans on another tours.
Now it is high time to present the beauty of Raging Fyah music at Ostróda Reggae Festival, where they will be performing first time on Aug 8th.
I ask Mama: what is faith? / Is it just believing in a better day?/ She said: Son don’t be stuck in your ways / Just remember, don’t be a slave to your grave / Just remember, you got to be brave!
