enfoque principal de in-aligerar los que lo rodean. Mi primer sonido era un grito y la expresión de un malestar y han estado expresando mi mismo desde entonces.El
talento artístico y creativo de cualquier ser humano es casi una
bendición del universo, la capacidad de crear sonido con una sola voz y
letras que son calmantes para el oído y del gusto de los más probado es
simplemente mágico.
El
poder del sonido es el fruto de las alma, y el arte de capturar

Tafari Watkis was born in St. Andrew, Jamaica to Grace Brown and Lloyd
Watkis.Currently working on his first EP titled "My Meditation",set to
release 2015. He spent his first five years of life in Bushy Park, Old
Harbor (near the capital Kingston). Due to economic demands, he and his
mother moved back to Race Coast, St. Mary to live with his grandparents.
He spent his childhood and teenage years in this rural coastal area of
the island. As with most islanders, he developed a lifelong affinity for
the joy, excitement and simplicity of Reggae music.
He immigrated to the United States at age eighteen. It was in
America that Tafari rediscovered his relationship with estranged father,
Lloyd. His father had a long history of musical inclination and started
to peak Tafari’s interest. Having grown up in Jamaica and possessing
this inbreed rhythm, Tafari was a quick study. He started paying
attention to the details of the music he had heard all his life. The
words, beats and spacing became important. Tafari said in an interview,
“My heartbeat and the music became in sync. I can relate to reggae roots
because of the substance, and the practical guidelines for life.” More
so, he longed for the musical connection with his island home. Reggae
offers a sense of oneness and bridges borders. This attitude of
community and sharing had defined his childhood. Now it was time to
solidify his interest and discover his true calling.
Tafari picked up the bass in the summer of 2007, with his dad as
his first instructor. He gravitated to the bass because it is the
‘pounding heartbeat’ of Reggae. “No Man is an Island” was the first song
he tried. He played it with enough conviction initially that he and his
dad decided the bass was his instrument. Within eight months, he got
the essentials down. After being comfortable with the bass, he started
to both play and sing. After owning his skills privately, then came the
public test.
Tafari joined his first band, Kingston 13 in the spring of 2009, as
bass player and vocalist. He quickly rose to a professional standard and
was affectionately given the name ‘Specialist’ by fellow band mates. He
debuted professional with the band at The Dub Club in Los Angeles,
California.
They backed world renowned act “Michigan and Smiley” and it
was a resounding success. He has also played for international reggae
artists such as; Andrew Bees of the group Black Uhuru, Garth Dennis of
Wailing Soul, international reggae star Daddy Roots of Anguilla, Jahmark and the Soulshakers, and lead singer of The Wailers, Yvad. Within a few
years he progressed into a well-rounded bass vocalist. He is currently
working his first Album,"Life In These Times",4iver Recordings.
Tafari is very excited about this new album. When asked about his
experience making the album he said, “This album is about my own
experiences, showing integrity and wanting to spread the message of love
and unity. I believe this album reflects the legacy of the forefathers
of reggae. It is a privilege to have people affected by what you have
created. My only hope is that this album will impact people in a true
and realistic way. I want to earn the audience’s trust and carve out a
niche in the reggae industry.” It will be a privilege to watch this
artist blossom over the next couple years. And this new album is sure to
catapult him to new levels of artistic recognition.
