Ninjah

Many have come before him; every city has their own. From Jesus of Nazareth to Waco's David Koresh, prophets and preachers walk the land amongst us, their presence felt at important times in the history of mankind.



Step to a long imposing figure, descending from the top a tree in Cardiff sometime in the late twentieth century, dressed in Speedos and a snorkel, armed with drumsticks and a beat box and tales of a new order. Sound like a fucking nutter, right? Welcome to the world of Ninjah.



Whether it's because he's rocking a Cleopatra head-dress, because he's drumming on the bins at 5 in the morning, or because he's accosting people in the street, rapping about lions or giving lectures about love making, it's clear from the first encounter that there is something not of the ordinary about Ninjah.



Standing at a mighty 6"4' of pure dreadlock and sinew, Ninjah is every bit an intoxicating raggae preacher-man.



Born in Jamaica in the not too distant past and the not too recent future, the seeds of his vocation were sown. His father was legendary reggae trombonist Ronald Wilson, Studio One collaborator of Prince Buster, King Tubby and U Roy amongst many others, which is where Mr. Jones’s love of music, and in particular the reggae rhythms, comes from. His parents separated when Ninjah was seven and he moved to the UK with his mother; settling in Birmingham, whilst his father left for New York, becoming a music teacher in Queens. The young Ninjah would bring visit his father in the school holidays, engrossed by the jazz and the burgeoning hip hop scenes in the borough.



Always enchanted by his mother's tales of a Welsh heritage on her side. Ninjah moved to Cardiff as a defender of his brethren after watching Cilla take the piss out of a Porthcawl girl on a Blind Date show one night, a role he carries forward each day he steps our onto his streets.



From his humble start living in the aforementioned tree, Ninjah quickly established himself as part of the landscape of the city with his freestyles and rants over his battery powered beat box.



Ladies and gentlemen, Ninjah…
