Indecka to make major impact on the music scene

Singer Indecka has been gaining some traction in recent months. With a cache of songs, including Rice and Peas, Jah Protect Me, The Summer is On Again,Better Days and Running from the Law, the artiste is on the verge of making major inroads on the local music scene.

However, the artiste says his long-term goal is to impact the international music scene.

"I appreciate all the support that I have been getting here in Jamaica. The radio stations have been giving my work a lot of support. What I want to achieve on a long term basis is success on the international scene. I would like for music lovers outside of Jamaica to accept and embrace my work," Indecka said in a release to the media.

Born Chevol Grant, Indecka is a singer and songwriter. As a child being raised by his grandmother, Indecka endured many hardships and turned to music for motivation. Indecka started learning about music in primary school. He would later hone his musical chops as part of his church choir.

age 15
By age 15, he was writing poetry and shortly after he began putting melody to his penned words.

In 2002, he met Michael 'Jah Mikes' Bell, the producer from Yahbell Entertainment, and recorded his first song Always Be There. He would later record with other producers, including Zuela, Julius "Zege" Mitchell from Sweatboxx Productions and Jami Dread from Lyrical Wars Production.

Since his recording debut 10 years ago, Indecka has matured both as an individual and a musician.
The artiste said his stage name was given to him while he was in high school.

Impression

"My friends began calling me Indecka while I was in high school because my eyes were always red and gave the impression as if I was smoking. The only significance to the name is that it is a variation of Indicia which is marijuana," he explained.

Now based in Portmore, St Catherine, Indecka said music has always been a part of him, hence his decision to pursue his musical interests.

He describes his musical journey as a roller-coaster ride, however, he is grateful for the support he has received thus far and plans to capitalise on the attention his songs have been receiving.
