OTHDANE HENRY (Dane-Jah), a native of Kingston Jamaica, started his music career as a DJ while attending All Age (Middle) School and doing shows in his local community of Portmore. With a burning desire to become internationally known as a reggae artist and to make his mark in the music business, Dane-Jah migrated to the United States to further both his education and music career. He enrolled into college to study audio engineering to further enhance his music production knowledge and went on to receive a full video production degree from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale. This degree would give him the educational experience needed for audio engineering as well as music video production.
While in college, Dane-jah and his group Nu-era (also known as Young Rich Crew) made a name for themselves by headlining their own local shows in Ft. Lauderdale as well as opening for international artists such as Shaggy and the Energy God Elephant Man – just to name a few. Dane-jah has performed at Club Strawberries in Plantation Florida, REGGAE SHOCK at the AT&T Amphitheatre in Miami as well as the annual STING MIAMI (2003), which is a spin off of the original STING Reggae festival in Jamaica.
Having made a name for themselves in Ft. Lauderdale, Dane-Jah and his group were featured on the FINATIC RECORDS HIP-HOP COMPILATION ALBUM along with such internationally known artists as Capleton, Elephant Man, Lady Saw, Tanya Stephens and more.
Eager for music and business growth, Dane-Jah stepped out on his own as a solo artist and relocated to Atlanta GA, the new Motown of the South. With a new music style that combines the best elements of dance hall, southern crunk hip hop and R&B, Dane-jah plans to make his mark on the industry by ushering in this new style of reggae music, which he has appropriately penned CRUNK HALL.
As a song writer, artist and producer, Dane-jah plans on being around for years to come. When asked about the long term effect he wants his music to have on the world, Dane-jah has this to say “I want people to get the message from my music….if its about dancing, if its about cars…what ever it is I want it to have a positive message….and I want people to remember that it is real...what ever I write about is a stage I’ve been through or something I experienced before. It’s just real…I make music that people can relate to – music that will last for a life time.”
Dane-Jah is currently working on his debut solo album, which is soon to be released.
