International reggae artist and producer Damas - was born 9th December 1987 and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. Damas is an highly ambitious entertainer and entrepreneur with a plentiful portfolio of conscious music; working with some of the best producers and artists that the industry has to offer, Damas aims to uplift the lovers of Reggae music with his "true to life” conscious lyrics, which contextualize and demonstrate a combination of his life and others in the Caribbean community where he resides. The artist grew up surrounded by musical influences, such as Dean Fraser and Sunny Bradshaw, and himself found his love for music at a tender age, also being exposed to the sounds of a neighbourhood sound system “The Mighty Emperor”, which harnessed talents like Bounty Killa, Sizzla Kalonji and many more, artists who are today revered as co-pioneers in an era of reggae music, that has allowed for Jamaican entertainers such as Shaggy, Sean Paul and Mavado to stand predominant amongst a plateau of internationally recognized musicians. It is with such influences that Damas embarked on his own musical journey; in 2006, after completing his studies as a business student, Christopher aka Damas realized that his true passion was not for “sitting in an office and pushing a pen” , as is often stated in his own words, but rather for singing and performing. With his true calling now evident, Damas started educating himself in the laws and processes of the music industry; he then started to write his own lyrics. Over the years Damas has worked tirelessly to master his craft at recording and voice production. He has also placed a special emphasis on educating himself and others on the laws of the music industry and issues relating to the development of the artist and markets in which they operate. It clearly shows that his ambition to climb and reach his ultimate aim in life - which is to share his intertwined passion for life, love, and music with the world - is so positive that up and onwards is the only way for Damas to progress in this industry, and while doing so he has created for himself a huge fan base across Europe, USA, Canada and the Caribbean. Above all else, the faith Damas has is ever-strong and his “Rastafarian” views lives in and through the music, which are expressed in the lines of such songs as, ‘Rasta Love’. With faith and his music in-hand Damas is a strong believer in giving and helping those in need. Whilst he continues to live the struggle himself, and awaits his chance of musical success, he has become an active participant in a variety of charities in Jamaica and other community initiatives. 2010 Damas was signed to a production deal with a U.K based, indie label “Suncycle Productions Digital” and soon after incorporated his own company and brand name “Da Music 876” – which is the branding under which his music and productions are being distributed to date. Some artists that Damas has worked with include I-Octane , Sizzla Kalonji , Kymani Marley, Gentleman, - these tracks can be heard on your airwaves daily, penetrating your mind and imprinting beautiful vocals on your ears. According to Damas there are no limits to his musical career as an artist and producer, he is now awaiting a much bigger break as he brings enriching music both in voice and in production. damasmusic876@gmail.com Twitter: @damas876 Band Page: http://www.facebook.com/damasmusic Reverbnation: http://www.reverbnation.com/damasmusic876 soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/damas Management: Ziggy Blacks Productions Tel: +18768431892
