THE FRENCH PRODUCER LIVING IN JAMAICA
Sherkhan was born Romain Chiffre in Paris France, grown in an artistic family.
His interest for the music started early when his big brother gave him
his first cassette: Michael Jackson "Thriller".
Growing up, he listened to a lot of different music from soul to
r&b to rock, metal, swing, african music, rai, rap, pop, indian music,
jazz, flamenco to name a few.
Then he discovered the artists behind the music: the producers.
Like Quincy Jones, Rick Rubin, Dr Dre....
He knew that was the role he wanted to play.
After playing and composing in the band "Zebra experience",
Sherkhan created "Nuits emeraudes".
This project was to travel the world with a laptop and create music
with the local artists encountered.
His first album "Un hiver au Maroc" was recorded in Morocco (Africa).
For the next "Nuits emeraudes" the young producer thought about Jamaica.
But when he discovered the most productive musical country in the whole world,
he fell in love and decided to live there.
Years have passed, immersed in the universe of studios, musicians,
artists and crime of Kingston, Sherkhan started to work with some of
the most finest talent of the island.
Sherkhan first official release from Jamaica was the reggae
