About me: SHASHA comes on stage in a hood over a matching cassock and a sash. Described as the MONK ON THE LOOSE, he lets out his captivating voice and takes over the stage with an incredible stage show. Ingenuity and sheer prowess characterize his performances.
SHASHA has recorded alongside several top artists and has won several awards to his credit. When the Hall of Fame multi Grammy Awards winner, Isaac Hayes heard his music, he said “Wow, this brother is pure talent, he and I are going to do great things together”, and sure enough, they have.
SHASHA has led 15 top Ghanaian artists in an all star musical collaboration which was produced via the sponsorship of the Johns Hopkins University as a benefit against HIV/AIDS in Africa. He is truly a musician with a heart. He has really been on a forefront of the war against HIV/AIDS using music to break stigma as he goes from village to village touching orphans.
Growing up, SHASHA was inspired by such great artists as Bob Marley, Winston Rodney (Burning Spear), Steel Paulse, Jimmy Cliff, Nelson Mandela and many others.
Tell Freedom, which was SHASHA’S debut album hit the charts as soon as it was released. This was followed by several other recordings which has done equally well on the African Music scene. During the first Miss Universe (Ghana)
Beauty pageant show organized by Media Touch Productions and Essence International, SHASHA tore the house down with his exclusive performance. He was also invited by the Libyan leader, Muammar al- Gadhafi to perform to all African Presidents during the last Organization of African Unity (OAU) summit, held in Tripoli in the year 2001.
SHASHA MARLEY has performed to tourists and music lovers at all the entertainment spots and centers both home and abroad, but it was his debut album that ironically placed him on the African musical map.
SHASHA’S stage monk-like outfit is credited to the Franciscan Friars. He finds the life of Saint Francis of Assisi very interesting. Although the Saint was very wealthy, he left the comfort of his home to live with the poor and the needy in the slum, to fight for the cause of the poor.
Who I'd like to meet: NELSON MANDELA, POPE BENEDICT XVI,

Have a fun, safe and happy 4th of July. Blessings to you and yours. Giving thanks for life and health. See you on my return. Thanks for being a friend.
Have a "HAPPY FATHER'S" day........... Father ? What does that one simple word mean? By it's self, not much, just another word. But when you add a child to the mix one gets a whole new twist on the word FATHER. A father is one who has nourished a seed with love, wisdom and warmth. He has been a provider, guidance counselor and friend. Many times he has had to be harsh, stubborn and aggressive- but those times it was more likely to have been out of love and concern, the desire to protect his, from all harm. Are you a Father? We know, it takes a man, a real "MAN" to be a father- the job is not for everyone, we have seen seeds that were improperly handled and the seed was unable to grow to it's full potential. I believe "YOU" are that MAN if you can say- "I gave it my all, with the power's that were vested in me". To plant a seed does not necessarily mean to impregnate, to be a Father one has but to give ones all to a child, to assist that child in some meaningful way in becoming the best he/she can be. Remember....live every day to the fullest. Each minute is a blessing from God. And never forget....children make a difference in our lives, they are our future. If you see a child without a smile today give them one of yours! Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Hi Shasha , I hope you've enjoyed your day and that your weekend will be even greater. I've been in the mist of the "STORM'S of LIFE", as we all may experienced at one time or another, but now the winds have cleared and the sun is shining on a new day. Those things that seem greater than "US", really aren't, we just have to put them in their place and keep on walking, because if we stop and allow ourselves to be defeated- indeed we have lost the battle, before it has begun. I am soooo, thankful to have you on the other end of this box, just thinking about "YOU" brings a smile to my face. Thank "YOU" for being there and being a friend, as always, mucho love and respect.
I SAW YOU PERFORMING IN GHANA MANY YEARS AGO IN THE FRENCH CULTURAL CENTER IN ACCRA YOU WERE GREAT AND YOU IMPRESSED ME TO KNOW THAT GHANA HAS HIS OWN REGGAE MUSIC AND QUALITY AS IN JAMAICA
