About this user

JahOfYork, born in the region of the Bronx on New Years Eve was originally raised in New York City. As rare as it may sound, this American of African descant and Antillean heritage was adopted to a Latino family at the tender age of three years. After the diagnosis of his biological mothers mental instability to care for him, and absence of his birth father, young Jah was voluntarily adopted and welcomed into the home of a loving Puerto Rican mother, Dominican father and their three children.

In his earlier years, he sang for the CityKids Repertory Company which is known for their collaborations with Disney, Jim Henson and the American channel, Nickelodeon. He has trained with New York's Harlem School of the Arts founded by world-renowned soprano Dorothy Maynor; and received private lessons from the coach of Making The Band 4. His aunt Jacci McGhee always provided him with words of inspiration as a vocalist from day one. Jacci was the original duet voice in Keith Sweat's "Make It Last Forever", SaltNPepers "Expressions" and also contributed to rock group Toto and Family Stand.

In summer 2000, his choir won a first place title in the McDONALD'S U.S.A. NATIONAL GOSPEL COMPETITION. Later that same year, JahOfYork was a principle voice in the Millennium Italian nationwide tour celebration, which the DVD All-Star Christmas - From the Vatican derived from (released in 2004).

In recent years, Jah has been constructing an intricate musical endeavor between his hometown, New York City and Amsterdam, The Netherlands. All of his own original songs have been built up and developed with the support of Dutch and international musicians, singers, engineers, lyricists, and residents. Signed, sealed and delivered with care for those embracing Urban Electronica sounds and fusion, the "Stay Tuned" album and concept contains all of JahOfYork's own original works lyrically, melodically and harmonically. Yes, every layered vocal IS his own!

Some might only know this Nu-Yorker as a vocalist/performer but you MAY have formerly seen him on MTVs 'Boiling Points' playing an innocent trick on his bestfriend at a New York Delicatessen, some years back. Perhaps in 2008 when he co-presented in a worldwide National Geographic documentary called 'Ultimate Taboo'. More recently, his image was featured in an exhibition called The Jump Project at the Melkweg Gallery; with yet another appearance in a promo-clip for the new and improved Heineken Experience Museum, both in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Download masterpieces and Stay Tuned to JahOfYork as he makes his first official musical mark on Apples iTunes platform on August 10, 2009.

Stay Tuned...In the midst of all struggles and pursuits of happiness, stay tuned to yourself, your family, your God, hiphop, jazz and soul. -JahOfYork
