In addition to the considerable talents of Jahzo, himself, “Dutty Wine” also features the talents of popular S. African artist Swazi K. Fun, danceable, and bringing that legitimate SA reggae sound, “Dutty Wine” showcases Jahzo as one of the most intriguing dancehall music artists of summer 2019 and promises he has plenty more where that came from. The single “Dutty Wine” has been presented by Rudebwoy Entertainment.

South Africa's Jahzo cites as main artistic influences Jamaican artists such as Mavado, Agent Sasco (AKA "Assassin"), Alkaline, Buju Banton, Bob Marley, Busy Signal and Popcaan. Jahzo's own sound takes elements from each of these and adds something fresh and unique for a result unlike anything today's reggae fans have heard before. With an emphasis on rhythm and a heavy dose of mellow good humor, “Dutty Wine” by Jahzo is sure to please every longtime listener of the style.

Asked to describe the overall meaning of “Dutty Wine,” Jahzo writes, “'Dutty Wine' shares a message of fun and happiness in the spirit of summer, making it a good jam for the season.”

Jahzo was born Khathutshelo Trevor Muambadzi in Venda, Limpopo, South Africa.

“I fell in love with dancehall music during my varsity years in Cape Town,” he writes. “It was not until 2008 that I had my first opportunity to record my first song at Rudebwoy Entertainment Studios, which I now co-own with my brother.”

From that beginning it was clear Jahzo would be a popular name in the scene. His first track featured Major and Selector Jugglin. He has said that that’s when he realized he could contribute towards the South African dancehall movement.

2011 saw the release of his popular “Dem ah Fraud” single, which received play on public radio such as Phalaphala FM and YFM. The track later got an official music video which surfaced in 2013. This was followed by “Step Weh from Bottom” and “Burn Dem,” produced by Flyweh records in Cape Town and released in 2015. 2016 found Jahzo dropping his “Where Mi Come From” single, which also aired on Phalaphala FM, YFM and Tshwane FM, and which also received an official music video in 2016. His “African Queen” 2017 single saw him paired with Ghanaian artist June Hype, with whom he shot another video, this time directed by the country's best director, Kofi Awuah, who would go on to present this current release of “Dutty Wine.” 2018: Jahzo drops “Kuff Dem” feat. Bun Pot and Muzzla Kartel. The song goes on high rotation on YFM and other stations. Again a music video, again it is well received and makes it to Reggaeville and Channel O, as did “African Queen.”

Jahzo's 17 track EP, “The Intro,” appeared as a free download in 2018, featuring artists like Bun Pot and Swazi K, the latter of whom is also featured on “Dutty Wine.”

“Dutty Wine” represents the first taste of Jahzo's official debut LP album of the same name, “Dutty Wine,” which commemorates his tenth year in music. The entire album has an expected drop date of December 2019.

“Dutty Wine” was produced, mixed and mastered by Paul Hauss in Germany. Hauss has worked with dancehall artists such as Busy Signal, I-Octane, Beenie Man, Bounty Killer and many more.

Reggae, dancehall musician Evaflow releases new single 'The Anthem'

The singer and songwriter known as Evaflow has released his new, flagship single, “The Anthem.” The track has been proudly published on his own SkyStart Media independent record label without the direction of the corporate music industry. A jamming modern reggae track fitted with all the best elements of traditional dancehall and cutting-edge pop music, “The Anthem” is a clear sign that Evaflow and SkyStart Media are names to watch in 2016 and beyond.

Evaflow cites as main artistic influences Damian Marley, Nneka, Jay-Z, Sizzla, Jah Mason, Kings of Leon, UGK, and Drake. His own style is more contemporary than any of these without sounding avant garde or too experimental. He retains the attributes which made the great reggae artists of the '70s, '80s and '90s globally popular while adding his personality to the mic and a few hip-hop traits to the studio production for a blend that sounds part Jamaica, part urban jungle.

Speaking of his message for “The Anthem,” Evaflow writes, “'The Anthem' is my sonic mission statement. It is a motivational manifesto promoting an unwavering commitment to actualize your aspirations. Its message … is self-reliance and determination. It promotes expressing your individuality instead of succumbing to societal expectations.”

At its heart, Evaflow's “The Anthem” is a portrait of the victorious.

“Unfettered by superficial expectations and immune to expressions of doubt,” he explains, “man develops the tenacity to endure failure and still be sure of success. ‘The Anthem’ is a description of the breaking point where man asserts himself as captain of his soul and ruler of his destiny.”

SkyStart Media's Evaflow has founded a philosophy at which he is the spearhead. “Start from the sky,” says his current official bio, which describes the 'sky' as a place of preparedness, great health and soundness of mind. It says Evaflow developed this philosophy through his “limitless way of looking at the world.”

“The sky is not the limit,” Evaflow says. “The sky is just the start. To start from the sky one must be able to fly and to fly is being in a place of consistent purposeful action.”

Evaflow is also part of the InDiggNation Collective group of artists. “The Anthem” was produced by Christopher Cooper in collaboration with InDiggNation's the DrumKeys. An official music video is expected. “The Anthem” is the first public release from Evaflow's upcoming self-titled debut album, which he has termed a 'portfolio.'

“The Anthem” by Evaflow is available at over 700 online music stores worldwide now. Get in early, dancehall fans.
