G-Conkarah

G-Conkarah is a producer, mix engineer, riddim builder, MC and selector from Nagoya, Japan, with over 30 years rooted in reggae and sound culture.He began in the early 1990s with the influential reggae crew Guiding Star, building his foundation through live sessions, dubplate recordings and nationwide performances. From 1997 to 2001, he ran Cassette Star Productions, distributing imported mixtapes and live sound session tapes from Jamaica and New York, while selling exclusive self-curated mixtapes throughout Nagoya’s street and club scene.Those experiences, together with dubplate recording sessions in Jamaica and Brooklyn, led him into music production in 2002.
Shaped by extended time in Kingston — his personal “Reggae School” — G-Conkarah’s music reflects his belief that Jamaican music has always evolved through fusion. Rooted in reggae and dancehall, his sound naturally expands into hip-hop, R&B, Afro-inspired rhythms and bass music.
