ZAKEYAH (a Kushite word meaning to teach') born in the UK and raised by Jamaican parents. She studied media and music technology in London and is currently working as a mentor/youth worker, creatively combining these elements to empower young people: to give them confidence, raise their self-esteem and help them to achieve.
Tapper Zukie, Muta Baruka, Mikey Dread, Sista Carol and Jah Shaka are her greatest inspiration. As for JAH Shaka, Zakeyah herself says, he played JAH music in a way no other Sound system can sound, he touched my soul and woke up my ancestors, so I felt my true Africanness from within. With JAH
