Jamin Derrick aka CHIEF RAGGA, hailing from KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII, has been BLAZING up the scene for nearly 20 YEARS, ever since his start with the HO'AIKANE BAND at age 12 (ONE OF HAWAII'S MOST POPULAR BANDS TO DATE). JAMIN and his Father JAMIESON combined and delivered the Drum and Bass to massive crowds all over the Aloha State. This musical movement rippled beyond the Pacific Ocean and brought a new wave to the international shores. They called it JAWAIIAN- Jamaican reggae music played Hawaiian style. Chief Ragga has worked very hard at maintaining his status as one of Hawai'i's most influential artist. To the many fans who has followed and supported his career throughout the years consider this young man a legend of a timeless generation. The Chief is an innovator and a crowd pleaser known for BRINGING DA HOUSE DOWN!!! JAMIN's hit classic SLOWLY BUT SURELY still gets MAJOR RADIO AIRPLAY to this day with sold out performances from KONA to JAPAN, HONOLULU to THE GOLDEN GATE PARK, THE GREAT AMERICA MUSIC HALL to the first POLYNESIAN REGGAE ACT to play HUMBOLT COUNTY's prestiges REGGAE On The RIVER. Blazing the trail, it was inevitable that JAMIN's solo career would take off. London based REGGAE SUPERSTAR PATO BANTON was the very one to nickname the young toaster CHIEF RAGGA after JAMIN joined PATO for a MASH UP SESSION at the famous WAIKIKI SHELL. CHIEF RAGGA also competed on MTV's THE CUT, hosted by the late great LISA LEFT EYE LOPEZ (TLC-r.i.p.). With MILLIONS of viewers tuned in, THE CHIEF was unwaivered, determined, poised and in control. A raw talent. Regardless of the controversial outcome, recieving a PERFECT 10 by DOGG POUND affiliate KURUPT was enough to solidify CHIEF RAGGA as the real deal! With 9 solid albums under his belt selling well over a 180,000 units, Numerous Na Hoku Hanohano Award Nominations(Hawai'i's Grammys), consecutive RADIO HITS from BAD GIRL SKANKIN', BURNING FEVER, GOOD THING, HAWAIIAN LOVER, and also being a part of "ISLAND WARRIORS", Polynesias first ever GRAMMY NOMINATION for REGGAE ALBUM Of The YEAR with FLEX featuring K-9 BURNING UP the charts holding the 1 spot in the 50th state for quite some time, there's truly no limit to what this bonafide artist can achieve. An EXPLOSIVE FRONTMAN and a well RESPECTED DRUMMER, CHIEF has graciously rocked stages and performed on tour with musical greats like: ASWAD, WYCLEF, JIMMY CLIFF, STEEL PULSE, MAXI PRIEST, SHAGGY, BIG MOUNTAIN, WAILING SOULS, THIRD WORLD, SHINEHEAD, MR. NOTCH (BORN JAMERICANS), ZIGGY MARLEY And The MELODY MAKERS, THE THUNDERBIRDS, SNOOP DOGGY DOG, DR.DRE, THE WAILERS, BERES HAMMOND, DENNIS BROWN, BLACK UHURU, UB40, MORGAN HERITAGE and many many more. Jamin just recently moved from the Hawaiian Islands to Las Vegas to promote his new release BASS RIDDIM & DRUMMIN anticipated to drop in 2009, CHIEF RAGGA is headed for the TOP and BEYOND. It's only a matter of time before the rest of the world discovers CHIEF RAGGA!!! -Hakela
