Being born into the Twelve Tribes of Israel, Micah Shemaiah is held to a different standard. His name may not ring a bell yet but it will. You may not have heard his songs yet but you will. Micah Shemaiah will become a staple in reggae music; a standard bearer in the hearts and minds of reggae lovers. His upbringing in RastafarI has laid the foundation for humble yet militant expressions of truth. With a required stipulation to ‘read a chapter a day’ from the bible, Micah Shemaiah is the man who learnt from early to chart and control his own destiny. Micah had no choice but to be grounded. From Dread Heights in Gordon town to Clifton Road off Chisolm Ave, Micah has experienced the influence of other musical greats who also trod in Rastafari. He is most influence, however by co members of the Twelve Tribes of Israel like Dennis Brown and Bob Marley along with his parents who taught him through their teachings that Rastafari is real and that the world was ready to receive the message of RastafarI.

Micah Shemaiah literally means ‘one who fears the Almighty’ and ‘one who loves the Almighty’ and he lives this fact in his meditations and his music. Contrastingly, Micah Shemaiah’s musical path took him to the field of a paralegal for seven years at Patrick Bailey & Company at the urging of his mother who wanted him to ‘lay off the music thing for a while’ and get a 9 to 5. Micah submitted to his mother’s wishes but as it usually does, the passion and love for music came calling again. Music for Micah is the only way he can express the kind of words and meditation he has and as such music is more empowering to him as it courses through his veins inevitably.
