Jah Bloodz talks about his ‘journey’

For Jah Bloodz, the ability to be able to transcend his message through the musical arts has always been a natural gift. Now in 2024, he is pleased with the response to his single, ' Journey', which features international artiste, Lareya. The journey to success for Jah Bloodz was no easy one, as expressed in his song.

"We learn a lot of things on the journey but it's not about the hype and the fame - it's about making a difference. Mi nah run down money and fame, just a pray seh mi get what mi work for, and mi haffi give thanks to the Father, mi never inna none a dem hearse yah," he said.

The St Ann native opted to collaborate with Lareya because he felt her soft vocals were needed to raise the appeal of the track while adding an international layer of marketability.

"This track is a representation of my real life, it's meant to educate youth on how to adopt a positive mindset and understand the value of time. As I said in the song, A nuh rain dat, a blessings a fall. I try to see the glass as half full rather than half empty," he said. "Along the way I met many trials, but my goal never changed and that is what drives every decision I make as a youth. Having Lareya on the track means that once someone hears her vocals come in, they feel inclined to listen because her sound is soothing and inviting, making Journey a masterpiece."

Currently amassing 200,000 views on its official video, Jah Bloodz shares that the single has put his career in the direction he has longed to be in.

"This hit is as a result of signing to one of most supportive teams in the industry at the moment. Empress Ann Recordz has helped me hone my skills and continues to work tirelessly to push my brand and I am thankful," he said. "I went viral with my song Exchange A Mi Place back in 2015. But because I lacked proper management, I wasn't able to fully capitalise. I have found structure and my aim is to continue trodding in a positive vibration because I believe it's what has granted me my current blessings."
