Abijah reasons with Ireggae about growing up around music and his
father, who played drums with Mystic Revelation of Rastafari. He
discusses how he came to take the name Abijah and his prior performances
under the stage name of "Quenchers". Abijah
talks about the success of "Revelation" his very first
recording that remains on the charts over 10 months after being released. Live
and Jah Is Not Divided are subsequent singles that have also done well in
Jamaica. Abijah speaks about the twelve songs that he recorded for
his debut album that will be released later this year.
During this interview, Abijah demonstrates a strong sense of
purpose and a deep understanding of life for a man of his age: "The greatest gift
a man could ever have and the biggest weapon is love and forgiveness. A man can come with
50 of the biggest guns, and the most money, but if him nah have love and forgiveness, him
nuh powerful yet." |
