Bio

Roots Reggae Singer. Daweh is the son of singer artist 351332. Born on March 28th 1969 in Kingston's Jubilee Hospital, he went to school in Allman Town and began singing from the age of eight after visiting his father's native Trelawny, where father and son would perform together during school holidays. A keen student of the visual arts, he had ambitions to be a painter until destiny - and also the necessity of earning a living - intervened. He was on the point of joining the army before recording his debut (and still unreleased) Bread Winner for Alton Ellis in 1990. Songs for African Star, Andrew Nash and Kariang then followed before he was introduced to producer Barry O'Hare, who released his 1995 singles [Study Garvey], [No Peace] and [Coconut Chalice] to growing acclaim. In 1996 he made his first trip to Europe, and the following year Barry O'Hare produced his debut album [Militancy], which by virtue of it's "live" reggae rhythms and outstanding array of cultural songs, was soon being hailed as a modern roots classic. Apart from a handful of singles for TMI and Mikey Jah Son - who produced the excellent [Fi Years] - little was heard from him thereafter, although behind the scenes he was busy completing albums for both Leggo engineer Bravo and TMI, who released his popular roots single [Prophecy Reveal].
