Deep Jahi doing well

Riding a wave of popularity since he was just an aspiring entertainer and a contestant in the Magnum Kings and Queens of Dancehall competition early last year, Deep Jahi, now out on his own in the world of entertainment, is looking to build upon his rise to fame by producing the kind of music he believes will take him far.

Within a mere four months after being crowned Magnum King of the Dancehall, Deep Jahi was being featured as one of the fastest-rising new acts on TVJ's Entertainment Report by virtue of songs like Life Goes On, which went to number one of Zip 103's music charts, Punching Bag and Another Try.

He recently shot a video for Another Try, which he says is to be released before the end of January.
Such was his presence and appeal last year that he made his Sting debut to much critical acclaim, a mere eight months after emerging.

Managed by Julian Jones-Griffith at Rock Stone Media, the 21-year-old entertainer from Ocho Rios, St Ann, is planning to build on his early success and break through to new frontiers in 2013.
He tells THE STAR that, in the coming weeks, he hopes to collaborate with Aidonia on a song that he hopes to release shortly thereafter. He explains that the rhythm is in the works and he hopes to hear from Aidonia soon.

He also has a potential link-up with Xyclone, a protégé of Spragga Benz and who scored his first hit late last year with the song Back Pocket Rag. There are also plans to record with Serani, who is also one of the principals in Rock Stone Media.

That aside, the rising star has big plans for 2013 as this is the year in which he plans to release his debut album. However, before he does that, he plans to release a mix tape in a couple of months which, he says, will help him gauge public response.

"Depending on how well people respond to the mix tape that will determine how soon the album is released," he said.

The album, he says, will be comprised of great music, because that is where he feels he will find the best success. "We just want to make good music that people can play for their kids," he said.

For that to happen, he says, he has to lay the proper foundation for him to build on. "We just have to work hard," he said. "Hopefully, people will gravitate towards that."
