Isaac Haile Selassie
Artist Profile
The global journey of singer/songwriter/musician Isaac Haile Selassie is one of intrigue and inspiration. Born in a rural area of Ethiopia, his mother passed away before he was a year old and unable to care for him, his father brought him to the capital city, Addis Ababa and gave him over to the care of the late Emperor, Haile Selassie I. Isaac was placed in His Imperial Majesty’s boarding school, which the Emperor himself established, and was overseen personally by His Majesty and in close proximity to the palace.
With frequent visits from the Emperor, the children were able to spend time with their country’s leader and develop a bond and respect for him as a father figure. Isaac’s last name is Haile Selassie because he was raised by Haile Selassie I.
When the Emperor was deposed, Ethiopia was thrown into political turmoil and Isaac left his country by foot, walking through the desert and until he reached Sudan, where one night he met a group of other Ethiopians who were listening to Bob Marley, a pivotal moment in Isaac’s life.
Marley’s message of love and peace resonated within Isaac’s own experience of dealing with life’s harsh realities first hand. From that point on, Isaac has been committed to promoting harmony among people around the world and ending racism through the power of his music and lyrics.
Singing in both Amharic and English, Isaac’s music combines roots reggae, rock and world music, reaching out to a wide audience, whether they’re fans of reggae, African or world music.
Now based in Los Angeles, Isaac has played a wide range of venues from clubs, bars and colleges, Ethiopian restaurants and fundraisers for various projects including Ethiopian famine relief, to large music festivals. In 1999 his debut cd, UNITE, received critical and fan acclaim and was chosen as of one of the top ten releases for that year by one of reggae’s top music critics.
Through his determination and self-empowerment, Isaac formed Conscious Music Records in 2006, launching the label with his album, ETHIOPIA.

To be loved is a good thing. To love others is a better thing. But to love JAH and man in JAH's own way is by far the best thing. When we are loved, our life becomes meaningful. When we love, our life becomes soulful...
