Jah Rain poised for stardom ...Du Suh Nuh! “To accomplish great things we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe”- Anatole On August 10, 1982 in Kingston Jamaica, Umar Rajaee Plummer, aka Jah Rain was born. The fourth of seven children, jah Rain grew up in a little district call Carr hill , Rock hall St. Andrew under the love, guidance and positive nurturing of my father Dyrick Plummer and my mother Johanna Scarlett. Although he had a strong love and passion for music, particularly singing and playing drum, education was foremost on his mind as his aspirations were either to become a doctor or to join the army. I went to Rock Hall Primary and Knockalva High School . While in High School, my passion for music intensified and he began to focus more on my dejaying and building riddim, additional confirmation came in the form of encouragement from friends who drummed up beats on Chalkboards and desks in the classroom, as Jah Rain ride the rhythm. Spurred on by my father, a natural singer, Jah Rain was further compelled to pursue a career as an entertainer; and from henceforth music became my only desire. Jah Rain started recording in 2005 while still in school. Ambition drives the soul and the aspiring DJ, embarked on his first induction into the realities of Reggae music, persistent and undeterred Blak Rain would walk from stage show to stage show, performing whenever he could and sleeping at various studios, adamant that he would be given the opportunity to be voiced and taken seriously as an artist. A year later I recorded my first single entitled “Life Is” on the John House label, produced by Little John himself. Although not earning much airplay, the taste of what could be was overwhelming. Determined to play my part in the music business, I fuelled my passion in the studio and continued to dedicate my time to my art-form. whether rich or poor, can relate to, the struggle to survive and function in a very competitive society,across the globe, has been stamped with Dancehall and Reggae music’s seal of approval, ensuring that I will not only be a household name but also a legend in Dancehall’s and Reggae musical fraternity. The versatile Jah Rain pens lyrics for all genres of everyday life – street politics, ladies anthems and social commentary. Jah Rain's Source Page - Associated Content
