Lee Scratch Perrys, 70s classic, Soul Fire, was the ignition for the songwriter and singer Vassilis Savopoulos a.k.a Jah Smiley to form Soul Fire, the first reggae band in Greece 21 years ago.
After Jah Smiley set up his project studio, he formed this greek based reggae trio comprises, himself, (vocals and guitar) King John (drums) and T Wise (bass). Their live performances reach as far to the early 90s and albeit theyve started by playing cover versions, such as, Chase the Devil by Max Romeo and Soul Rebel by Bob Marley, soon filled their live track listings only with their own deep roots reggae riddims. Since then,they are enjoying the respect of all their greek fans, and they are now considered to be the pioneers of the local reggae scene.
God, love, inner self, consciousness and justice could be the keywords for someone searching behind Jah Smileys songs.
2004 is the turning point, for their career.
The great producer Mad Professor (Ariwa Records), was surprised to discover such an original reggae band in Greece so he decided to produce their first album. With the co-operation of a so prolific producer, Soul Fire recorded their groundbreaking and critically acclaimed album.
Well-known artists participated, like drummer Sinclair, active member of Lee Scratch Perrys band Roboticks.
World famous reggae stars singing the backing vocals, like Aisha ,Cofi and Mafia from Mafia&Fluxy plus the MC Fredi Kruga.
Soul Fire LP is an exceptional debut for this band,supported by the legenadary reggae producer Mad Professor and all the aforementioned artists.
